Tink had
been on a countdown to her birthday for quite a while. As the amount of days
until her birthday dropped under a week, she started getting a bit stressed
about it; she wasn't seeing preparations for it, I guess. She had spotted a CD
that was supposed to be for her birthday about 2 weeks before but she hadn't
seen anything else. The day before her birthday, Sunday, I wrapped her presents
and put them in a visible, but out of the way and hard to reach, place. She
calmed down. And she didn't touch the presents that day.
So, Happy
Tinker's birthday. She told both me and her dad "Happy Birthday," I
assume she told Morg that too. We did our morning chores and where having a
little sit-down time before I got up to make her a no-bake cheesecake, which is
the only kind of "cake" she will eat. The next thing I know, Morg is
saying, "Did you know Tink has some of her presents open?" That is
what we get for turning our back for a minute. She had 3 out of 4 DVDs opened.
She decided it was her birthday and she wanted her presents. I had to go get
the remaining gifts and protect them while we got everything else ready.
I got the
cheesecake ready and we sand "Happy Birthday" which Tink can't stand.
She blew out her candles and then opened her last DVD. She wasn't as interested
in the other 3 packages because they were not the right shape for a CD or DVD
but we coaxed her into opening them. They were shirts, one with Alice in
Wonderland, one with Pocahontas, and one with Scooby Doo. She did like them and
even held them up in front of her to "model" them of sorts.
A little
while later we headed into town for a movie. We still owed Morg a movie for her
birthday but a chance for us to go did not correspond with a movie we/she
wanted. But there is a movie playing right now that Morg did want to see and
not one Tink has mentioned but she does like going to the movies. So we all
went to see the Thor movie. It was entertaining and Tink did real good. There
is a movie coming out very soon she does want to see, "Frozen" is the
name. But this time we are hitting the matinee like we usually do. I could
believe the cost for the 4 of us, and it isn't a pricey place.
We got
home after the movie and Tink immediately started her Christmas countdown
figuring her birthday was over.
Today has been a hard day for her but I am not real sure why. She seems angry. We have had some internet issues today, very slow connections and at least twice it just stopped working but came back before I could call about it. That might be the cause of the mood.
Oh, and the cow is recovering nicely.

Happy belated birthday, Tink! Glad it was good day. I heard that the movie, 'Thor' was a good one, and 'Frozen' does look funny.
Happy to hear that Lilly is doing well.
Happy Birthday!!!! It sounds like a fun day. Cranky day aside, I'm glad that everyone is happy and had a good time! We are looking forward to Frozen, too. :)
Tink doesn't count down to Turkey Day??? I know I am!
No, Turkey day/ Thanksgiving means absolutely nothing to her. We sometimes share the day by going to others or others coming to us and sometimes do it alone, but nothing that has set up a pattern in her mind, except for the big bird accompanied by certain other foods and she doesn't eat any of it. I think she sees the day as more of an inconvenience.
