Addalyn has asked me more times than I can count when Poochie's birthday is. I always tell her that it's right before Macey's birthday (for those who don't know where she came from...a few weeks before Macey was due, my dad took me to the hospital because I was having lots of contractions. Addalyn was only a year and a half old at the time so dad walked her around the hospital to keep her entertained. They went into the gift shop and Addy picked Poochie up and wouldn't put her down, despite Papa's efforts to guide her towards a cheaper stuffed animal--haha!) Anyway, over the past few weeks, I can't seem to talk to Macey about her upcoming birthday party without Addalyn reminding me that Poochie's birthday is first. Sooooooo...yesterday we celebrated Poochie's 3rd birthday! Addalyn put bows in her hair, brought all of her stuffed animal friends out and took SO many pictures (over 30!). We ate pizza, made cookies and sang happy birthday. Pretty silly, huh? The funny thing is, I did everything I could to make Addalyn (and Poochie) feel special on this big day and Addalyn loved it...up until she apparently got concerned and felt the need to remind me that Poochie is NOT a real dog, but just a stuffed animal. Hahahaha!
*side note--this is actually Poochie the 2nd. The original Poochie started falling apart a few months ago so Gigi somehow found her twin online and ordered it and told Addy that she took Poochie to the groomer and they made her like new! We saved the original to show her when she's a little older.
Sheesh...this is a really long post about a stuffed animal! Sorry!
