Last September  Tiger girl celebrated her 4th Birthday and received a huge My Little Pony Playset. This year she requested for  My Little Pony toys again and we were happy to grant her wish.

This year she requested for a  My Little Pony board game and we had fun playing it together with her.

Here’s a clearer shot so you can see the length of her hair currently. It’s nearly as long as mine now 🙂

As you can see her hair has grown much longer and she no longer  has shoulder length hair.  I can say that she has lost most of her “baby fat” at 5 yrs old now.

 

Saw this on my facebook feed this week.

Comparing what was on the blog last September with what I have posted this September. I wrote about how I was coping with Goal Setting  and what I’m doing to get towards my targets.

This September  I’m actively focusing on what I have set out to do in January and living up the CHANGE

I’m spending much more time with the kids and have cut down a lot on the blogging front to concentrate on them and other new ventures that I’m handling at the moment.

How is it for you this September as

compared to last September?

 

Tiger Girl Turns 5

5 is certainly a magical number. It’s an age where the Magic begins.  It is an age whereby one is able to understand everything that is communicated verbally.

At 5 yrs old Tiger girl can communicate  her wants/ wishes very clearly. She knows what she wants and is able to make decisions on her own.

All of us together

All of us together

This year she wanted strawberry cake  and rainbow cake for her birthday. She couldn’t decide on which type of strawberry cake she wanted so we got a few slices of different types of cakes instead. We also got  Tiramisu and cookies and cream for the boys since those are their favourite cakes.

She got a My Little Pony Chutes and Ladders set as her birthday present as she had been eyeing that set for a while. We didn’t want to buy her any more My Little Pony toys as she has plenty at home from all the collections which she was gifted on her previous birthday.

The kids playing

This year Tiger girl requested to go bowling instead of swimming. Since starting to play bowling a few months back  she is hooked on this spot and have been asking to go  to the bowling alley as it has nearly been a month since our last visit.

The kids bowling scores

This  time she won hands down against her brothers with 101 points. Really remarkable as the lightest ball at 6 pounds is still much too heavy for her. Tiger girl needs to literally ROLL the ball instead of bowling it in the normal fashion to knock down the pins.

It did help that they had the gutters up for the kids when they bowled or else I’m sure their total scores would have been much lesser.

How do your kids celebrate their birthdays?
