Today is Kona's 4th birthday! She's my special first baby and although she did not have a birthday party as she did when she turned one, I did bake her biscuits which I've done every year on her birthday. Mia sort of helped me. It's a really easy recipe that involves only 4 ingredients, flour, baking powder, peanut butter and milk.
Mia and I also took a trip to PetCo this morning to pick out some presents for Kona. Our PetCo has mini shopping carts and Mia loves going there to see the rodents, birds and fish. The girl would really like to have a pet mouse since they are featured so prominently in many popular children's books. There's Maisy, the mouse in Goodnight Moon, the mouse in If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, the little mouse in Goodnight Gorilla, etc. Sure they are cute, but not for me.
It was nice to watch Mia pick out toys for Kona that she found interesting. In the end, I had her narrow it down to two. We also bought her new toothpaste and some rawhide to keep her teeth clean since she recently had a tooth extracted. I told Mia to keep the presents a secret until Papa came home. She put her finger on her mouth and said, "Shh!!" when I said that. It was so cute. We gave the presents to Kona after dinner and Mia helped Kona open them. I think Kona knew it was her special day. She waited by her bed in the kitchen while the biscuits baked. Maybe she remembers the smell from last year. . .
