SE is 6!

We went to 1u after elections in the morning.  The day started off well enough. 

She wanted to wear the "koala shirt".  Aww.  Seriously, this is the ONLY matching clothing I have with the kids.  I bought mine in Oz while working there, and saw someone selling the small version some years later.  SE is already outgrowing hers so it's nice she wanted to match Mummy on her birthday.

SE knew she wanted a Barbie doll and quickly made her choice.

I like THIS one

After some time she remembered JE had picked a bunch of presents. Her Barbie wasn't that expensive so I suggested getting something small in Smiggle.

Hmm then things started to unravel.  JE, despite having picked 3 presents earlier from ToysRus, hadn't been too happy with her choices.  So I told her she could pick something small from Smiggle too.  Unfortunately SE ended up picking ONE thing and JE picked TWO things.  At which SE was extremely upset... why should Jo Ern get TWO things when it's MY birthday?!!  And started screaming and throwing a tantrum.

So we went to Hamleys and she was interested in a few things... which I didn't let her buy.  Toys are  expensive and I didn't want her getting things likely to end up underused.  Hubby bought her something small.  Which she didn't like much, so...

Next was Home's Harmony and she picked a cat soft toy.  Phew, luckily that did it.  By that time we'd spent quite some time in the various shops and I was ready to leave.  Then at the last minute, remembered that we hadn't gotten a birthday cake.  Haha... it was way back to the other end of the big mall for it.

With my family!

Happy birthday to Su Ern!

Note to self:  Next time only the birthday girl gets to choose presents.  And only from ONE place.  Ok maximum of two places.
