Corinn's 4th Birthday Party

Yesterday was Corinn's 4th birthday party and we had a great time! We had a baking themed party - everyone painted their own apron, and colored a chef's hat, then we decorated cupcakes to take home. We had a Dora pinata and lots of yummy snacks - and of course cake & ice cream! Corinn wanted more of the Dora cupcakes that I had made for her daycare on her actual birthday. She also asked, "Can you make some Diego heads too?". So that's what I did - we had lots of Dora & Diego cupcakes (enough that everyone got to take one of these home too), and I made a "cupcake" smash cake for Corinn - you know to go along with the whole baking theme. ;0) The poor thing didn't even stop long enough to eat cake at her party. She was so busy with presents and playing, that it wasn't until we got home and had eaten dinner last evening, that she said, "Can I eat my big cupcake now?". ~lol~ I had just assumed she had eaten one of the Dora/Diego heads at the party instead.

Now, I'm trying to get this 4 year old to understand why she can't immediately start school. Up until now, she's been told that she'll go to pre-k when she's 4. Well, she's 4 now - why isn't she in school yet?! ~lol~
