Our daughter Emma turned eight years old today. Here's a picture of her with one of her gifts, a panda from
Build-a-Bear Workshop. Notice the fairy costume and shoes she picked out for "Pandy". Emma's new favorite color is light blue (as shown by the top she's wearing) but she also likes pink and purple - and she makes sure to update us as these change positions for her. Oh, the importance of color in her life!
Also notice the importance of
Barbie. The party had a Barbie theme with cups, plates, napkins and favors all having Barbie's picture. I've been pleasantly surprised at some of the Barbie videos Emma has received as gifts over the years. They usually take a classic story like
Swan Lake,
The Prince and the Pauper and
The Twelve Dancing Princesses and use Barbie in one of the starring roles and add some nice music. She's learned a lot of good stories that way. As well as our being introduced to the classics by first seeing it in a Barbie video. For instance, another of Emma's gifts was the original book for
The Twelve Dancing Princesses as you can see in the picture at the left.
