In early August, it was Karina's birthday! She is our last summer birthday and loves presents.
She asked for and got a desk organizer for the pens, paper tablets and trinkets that she keeps on her desk.
And she asked for and got a new dog bed for Lucky. Even though it's for Lucky, the bed is also pink! It came super compressed in a plastic bag and her and Gabriel had fun unwrapping it.
She also got a new pair of headphones--in pink of course. She plugs them into an old iPhone and listens to books on tape. She has the stamina to listen for hours and hours if we let her.
Lucky seems to realize that it's his bed. Even though it's quite ginormous compared to him!
But Lucky will have competition for this bed!
And also for Lucky, Karina asked for some dog scarves. Lucky tolerated it fairly well when she tried it on him.
Now she can create a little nest for herself on the couch, while she listens to a book on tape and stares off into space.
And also, our wonderful neighbors dropped off a gift bag for Karina, filled with treats, coloring pens, and other things.
As far as singing Happy Birthday, Karina does not like cake. So instead she opted to go to Cold Stone and get three different types of ice cream. The flavors she chose were vanilla with raspberry, lemon sorbet, and cotton candy with gummy bear mix-ins--which is a very blue-looking ice cream but the kids love it.
The candles went on top of the ice cream!
And, one last "present" that Karina got was that we let Lucky go upstairs and into the girls' room. So far, he's been confined to only the first floor of the house while the kids have been begging us to let him come upstairs. We finally relented and now he can go into the girls' room. Also, he is not a good sleeper at night and so our thinking is that this may help him stay calm at night better.
