Cait turned 4 this year… We didn’t have any party for her, nothing fancy even Daddy wasn’t here on her birthday. I felt really rotten for not planning anything for her… I really couldn’t manage and it was just poor timing on my part. So in the end we thought we’ll save it up and have a little something for her at school with her friends instead when Daddy comes back.

On the day itself… I took her out with Emme and we just did girly things..  First stop was to Toys R Us to pick out her gift. She bout not just 1 but 2 items, a Barbie ‘laptop and a Barbie mermaid Merliah doll. **insert roll eyes here** Then we have lunch at TForty2 and after I took her for a manicure.

She kept asking me about having a party and when is her friend gonna come… I really felt so sorry for her and was absolutely dying inside. I gently told her there’s no party today… but we’ll have one when Daddy comes back at your school. She wasn’t very happy but she still held it in tho.. But she still kept her hopes up and still was expecting a ‘surprise’ to come her way..

So I quickly called my parents to arrange something that evening when they came over. So when my Dad came that evening she was really expecting and my dad pulled a fast one on her and said that there is no cake and no party.. Nothing is happening… She nearly broke down. Tears was already forming in the corners of her eyes.. So kung kung quickly said to her,” Oklah… Nevermind, lets just go and watch some tv!” and went into the tv room where Po Po and Aiden was already waiting with a cake and presents!!

When she opened the door… the look on her face was pure surprise and (maybe) relief. She was so touched… and was repeatedly saying ” OMG! OMG! OMG!!!” And she went around showering everyone with hugs and kisses…

I think that should make up for the day…

And then when Daddy came back, we had a small little party for her at the school with all her friends… Although belated but we had it.. She was having a great time giving out cupcakes and party packs to all her schoolmates.. They sang songs and she wore a Princess tiara the whole day..
