But I Don't Have a Bike . . .

Gwen turned 3 last Sunday, September 27th! She is so grown up! This girl is potty trained, gets herself dressed (note the mismatched clothes), likes her hair to be curled, loves shoes and being "pretty". She also loves having a purse with money (thanks grandma, nana, and great grandma!) and credit cards (play ones of course! . . . and I'm actually surprised that she even knows what credit cards are). She wants to "drive the car and be the mom". She wants a "yellow purse and an orange purse and a green purse". She also wants to wear make-up and have her ears pierced! She is busy . . . that's for sure!

As for the bike title . . . towards the end of this last July, Gwen decided the scooter wasn't enough. She wanted a "big bike like Halle". I put it off because I thought that would be a great birthday present . . . probably much to my neighbors dismay:) In our last neighborhood, every time Gwen went outside, she went to a couple different houses that she knew and would ask if she could ride their bike. She would say something like, "because I don't haaave a bike . . ." in this sad, pathetic way . . . :)

Anyway . . . she got a bike for her birthday . . . and rides it EVERY day!


Happy Birthday Gwen!

Aw, Happy Birthday Gwen! She is such a cutie.

I loved roller skating too, though I think my "roller skating party" was in the 4th grade. I guess I was just a late bloomer!
We went roller skating for my 30th birthday and . . . well, it was harder than I remembered it being! ;)
