That's how it felt around here the past few days as we prepared for and cleaned up from the Pink Poodle Party. The day was quite a success with 10 little girls (2 5-year-olds, 2 4-year-olds and 6 3-year olds) running around our house. It is amazing to me how different the party was with 10 little girls from Ryan's party
with 7 boys. Anyone who tries to say that boys and girls can be the same just hasn't been paying much attention. They are fundamentally different creatures!
Little girls will sit quietly and color their placemats quite happily for as long as you let them. (Boys will color for a little bit, but then they will soon start
making a lot of noise and running around!)
Little girls will walk up stairs in a nice neat line without being prompted to do so. (Boys will push and shove and race each other up those same stairs, also without prompting).
Little girls will happily find their square to sit on, and will stay quietly
on that square without any reminding while each child takes a turn playing the various organized games. (Boys won't. 'nuff said.)
Anyway, the party was a success. And apparently I was pretty worn out because I fell asleep in Ryan's bed some time before 8 pm...

different indeed. Have you seen the video of our friends David & Laura's little boy climbing their doors??!! I was so sorry to miss the great *pink poodle party*. I can't wait to see you.
oh my, now that's an interesting thought! I don't think even Ryan has ever tried climbing our doors...
