Birthday Wishlist {for Mia}

I wish I had a few hundred dollars to spend on Mia for her birthday tomorrow.

I know that throwing the birthday party is pretty big, but by doing that, I can't really afford presents, you know?

If I had that kind of money, these are just a few things I'd get for her:


Elmo's Favorite Sing-Alongs






Mia loves to dance and it's hilarious to watch her do it


AND she loves Elmo

Floral-Print Jersey Sundress

She is SUCH a girly-girl with her purses and baby dolls and dresses

I love these because they're so light and comfortable for her to run around in

(Plus, they're easy to wash and cheap if they get ruined)

Toddler Princess Light-Up Flip-Flop

Nicole and I took the girls out last week for some retail therapy and dinner

We stopped at Payless on our way home and tried on shoes.

While we were there, Mia and Alisi ran up and down the aisles, acting like wild girls while Sani crawled around trying to gnaw on shoes

Mia spotted these shoes and LOVED them

Not entirely sure if it's because they light up or if it's because they're pink, but she loved them. She tried them on and, instead of putting the sandal in between her first and second toe like normal flip flops are worn, she insisted on putting it between her third and fourth toe

I had to pry the shoes away from her and her bread-loaf sized flippers while she cried, but there's no way I'm spending $17.99 on shoes she'll grow out of in 6 months

Little Miss Flyer



We have a few riding toys that my mom has given us for the daycare, but they're pretty beat up and a little too big for Mia

This cute (and girly) trike is SO cute and is something that she's have a blast learning to ride

Play purse

Okay, Mia got a really cute purse for Christmas that laughs and sings with really cute things in it
This NEW purse has a CELL PHONE
Mia LOVES cell phones, and her auntie hates it
Nicole has gone through a few cell phones in the past 6 months because she leaves them sitting around where little fingers can grab them and throw them in the toilet is picky about what type of cell phone she uses, and Mia is usually the one who throws it down or gets sticky gunk all over it hands it to her nicely
Yay for new phones!


BOOKS

Mia loves to look at books and likes to be read to

Of course, she's just like any toddler where she gets impatient and flips through the pages to the ones that are her favorite (usually the ones with pictures of animals where she can imitate their sound)

I love these pop up books because they're so colorful and they keep her attention

We have a few pop up books that have been ripped apart because they get so excited to open the next page to see what pops up

I know I material things aren't how you show anyone love, but it's fun to get new toys and clothes for your birthday. I'm sure she knows how much I love her already.
