Bailey's a pretty gifted little girl and I'm not sure if that it's ever been argued otherwise. Among her many talents, she also is a bit on the spoiled side, but I personally wouldn't use that word to describe her. I would tend to lean to the "she has everything she needs," side and leave it at that. Some may argue with that. No matter how you want to look at it, this past almost four years has been a marvelous gift.
However, this isn't about that. This is about all of you or those who keep asking me what Miss Bailey would like for her big day. I've been rather vague (a gift of my own), but I meant it when I said she's into art, science, and dress-up clothes and anything having to do with ballet.
She's absolutely fascinated right now with ballet. She dresses up every single day. She writes on any piece of paper she can and her imagination devours any art kit available. Our frog habitat is our best tool. And we can spend hours putting a big floor puzzle together just to take it apart again and repeat the whole process. (The puzzle isn't what takes for hours, it's putting it together, taking it apart, putting it together again and again.)
And the only gift she's currently asking for is this board game called, "Don't Wake Hulk," and she'll clearly tell you the name of it. It's like the old board game, "Don't Wake Daddy," but with a green muscled monster, instead of a skinny drab chap. That's it. That's what she wants. And since she revealed this after we'd announced we'd completed our shopping, she's not getting it from us. (Although we've both agreed we'd probably let her purchase it with birthday money afterwards.) Her former gift request was "the swim baby" which was a doll who swims. It was an odd choice since she doesn't play with dolls much. She still mentions the doll from time to time when seeing it at Target, but only mentions The Hulk when talking about birthday presents.
Other suggestions? She likes anything with WALL*E on it, and they have a new WALL*E Leapster game and some little bird told me she might have a need for Leapster games soon. She plays with Barbies only on occasion. She doesn't need any tiny toys for Fudge to chew up. She still loves shoes and I'm buying a size 9 currently, even though she's still in an 8. (She has so many shoes, so that's only if you insist.) She would like the books, Olivia and Olivia Forms a Band. She needs no new summer clothes. And the only clothing she really could use would be ballerina leotards and/or tutus which would need to be in a size 2/3 or 3/4. A 4/5 will not work. XXXS or XXS is the way to go. I have a hard time finding ballerina garb.
If you recall, last year when asked what she wanted for her birthday, Bailey would just tell you about the many things she required for her birthday party, like balloons. She's still doing that this year. It makes it all the more apparent, you're not going to disappoint this child unless you tell her her party's canceled. And well, we know the truth to that.
