Jade loves to entertain and decorate. We will often find blankets, towels or stuffed animals hanging from different places is the house by ribbons or pipe cleaners. She’s actually pretty good about cleaning up her mess afterwards (well, days after).
This week the girls have been focused on having a PARTY. I’m not sure what sparked the idea, but every night we’ve had a little party. Tonight we are going to bake a cake for “the party”.
A couple of nights ago, Jade decorated for the party in her bedroom. Then when she was ready, she had us knock on her door and there she was, sitting on her chair with a book waiting to read to us. That night, she and Ivy slept in the “party bed” and the party continued until the next morning when she had dance class.
Two years ago, Jade decorated the entry way. So when I returned home from work, this is what I was greeted with…
She really does love to decorate and throw parties for her sister. I don’t know that I love that she keeps strangling her dolls by tying “leashes” around their necks and hanging them from her bed or the entry, but there is little to no harm done and she has a blast doing it.
If she goes to college and decorates her apartment with hanging dolls, then I just might worry a bit.

There’s something about the word “party” that just makes kids giddy, I think. My 3-year-old wants to have a “toy party” almost every day these last few weeks. What does that mean? We spread out a huge blanket on the floor, set up all her toys, and play/pretend. 🙂
She may grow up to be a famous decorator …..

My girl went through a party phase too…only it was with presents. She wrapped everything she could get her hands on in blankets. Funny these things that get into their heads!

Ivy is the one in our family that wraps her toys up as presents. For my birthday, she wrapped up one of her dolls and then hid it for 2 weeks (until my birthday) then first thing in the morning she brought me in her present for me. funny kids.
