Eena turned 3 today. On Saturday, we hosted a party at our house with her friends. The kids made crafts (colored and put stickers on flower pots and bookmarks), played inside and outside, and had their faces painted.
Today, Eena opened presents from Apa, Mommy, Daddy and Baba. We took the girls to Nibbles Cafe in Wheeling. They played, listened to music and had a snack of goldfish. The girls are napping now, but we'll have some leftover cupcakes for dessert. Eena, by the way, ate her first cupcake at her party. It's official, she loves cupcakes!
When I was around 9 or 10, Santa or my mom gave me a Fisher Price record player. Boy, did I love it. I remember playing Sesame Street 45s and Disney records. While I'm not sure where my records are, several years ago I found my player at my parents' house. Recently, I took it out and played a 45 from 'The Aristocats' that uses to belong to my husband. Eena eagerly followed the story in the book. Baba's toy music phone preoccupied her. I felt such nostalgia being able to not only share a toy from my childhood but one that is almost prehistoric with iTunes, CDs and YouTube. Gosh, I was born in 1974 and I feel ancient.
