Pea Diary: Daddy's Girl

        I love my Daddy! I have been a very big girl lately and am sleeping in my very own bed! Mostly. Mommy has been sleeping in a different room so I don't milk until the morning but I get something even better-my Daddy! Daddies are great because they are big and warm and my Daddy hums to me while I go to sleep. All I need is my Daddy and my Barney and I am all set! I even got to have some time alone with Daddy when Mommy took Princess to a play yesterday, and it was the best! I didn't have to worry about Princess taking over and we got to play all of the games I wanted to play. We took a nap together and then we played with my collection of pennies. My favorite was when Daddy put them in between my toes. He's so silly! Sometimes when I wake up in the middle of the night I decide to cry instead of going back to sleep just so I can see him for a few minutes. Especially if he is playing softball and doesn't get home until after I go to bed. Then I make sure I wake up so he will come cuddle with me. Daddy usually comes home when Mommy is making dinner, so when I see her cooking I go to the door and knock and say, "Daaadddyyy!" so that he will know it's ok to come in. As soon as he comes inside I run to him and hug his legs and then he picks me up high in the air and gives me kisses! He has tickles on his face when he kisses me after he gets home which is funny because it doesn't tickle as much when he kisses me before he leaves. It used to be that Mommy was the only one who could make me feel better, but now that Daddy and I get to snuggle so much I know that he can make me feel better too. I can't wait until I get to cuddle with him tonight!

Princess Diary: Daddy's Birthday!

          My Daddy just had a birthday! I think I was even more excited than he was because I got to help Mommy pick out his presents and make his pie. Daddy said that he didn't want a cake this time and that he only wanted a lemon pie. Mommy was nervous because she's never made that pie before and because we're vegan it's hard to make the white stuff on top. I forget the word for it. Anyway I helped her squeeze the lemons! I was so excited to go shopping with Mommy and pick out stuff for Daddy! I told her we had to get balloons so we went to the green store and got some. I wanted to pick out a whole bunch but Mommy only let me get four. I also found a pink box that I had to get for Daddy and I tried to find something to fit in it but I couldn't find anything small enough so Mommy said we would look at the other store. I was holding onto the balloons really tight so they wouldn't fly away, but then Pea wanted to help so I got her to hold onto them with me. Because she was helping me I kind of forgot to keep holding them too, and all of sudden they were flying away! We were getting into the car so they went up into the sky! Mommy saved one but I was so sad because now Daddy's birthday was going to be ruined without balloons! There was even a pink birthday one and I know that it misses me and wanted to come home with me instead of flying around in the sky. Mommy said we coudn't go get more but that maybe we could find the kind that you blow up at the other store. Those aren't as good, but I thought about how I needed to get Daddy a present for the pink box and we went to the red store. I remembered Daddy's favorite thing when we started looking around! Transformers! And guess what? There were two little ones that would fit into the pink box perfectly! I am really good at this. Then we went to find some balloons and that's a fun place because they also have all kinds of party stuff! I picked out a pinata and as I was looking at it I realized that we needed a lot more stuff if Daddy was going to have a party!! I told Mommy that we needed a pinata, and balloons, and that she needed to make a Transformers cake so that we would have everything we needed for Daddy's birthday party with all of his friends at the bouncy house! Then, Mommy told me something about Mommies and Daddies that makes me really sad. Once you are a Mommy or a Daddy, you don't get to have birthday parties at the bouncy place. I didn't understand her at first. Then, I think I just didn't want to believe it. How can you not have a birthday party? And why would you not want to have it  at a bouncy place? And why weren't my Daddy's friends going to come??? Whenever someone asks me what I want to do when I grow up lately, I have told them I want to be a Daddy because Daddies are the best. This. Changes. Everything. I will tell you one thing-we are going to have an awesome party for my birthday! I already told Mommy that I want to have it at a pool AND  bouncy place with lots of presents and a pinata and all my friends and when she asked what theme I wanted I told her I want a bear, kitty cat, cave, pink, unicorn, star, dora, diego, wonderpets, dragon tales, princess party! I need to get it in now before it's all too late!!
        My Daddy had a great birthday. We got to get up early and I blew up two balloons all by myself and we made breakfast for him and then I helped him open his presents. After work we went to the tunnel store and got him and went and had pizza and ice cream. It was the best birthday ever! Happy Birthday Daddy!
