This is the week of your 6th birthday. This is also the week I've been frantically speed-walking through every Target, K-Mart, and Walmart in the state looking for a very specific 'My Little Pony'. The white one, with the pink mane & glittery butt. You were very clear about which pony you liked the best and I even bought a lot of 12 vintage 1984 ponies off of Ebay in hopes that one of them will be white with a glittery butt. Since it hasn't yet arrived, I'm seriously considering going back to the place where your friend had her party and begging them to sell the white pony to me. Otherwise, my birthday present to you this year will be: searing disappointment. It's a valuable lesson, and the younger you learn how to cope with it, the better off you'll be. Kind of like last Christmas when you wanted a puppy, but instead what you got was a new baby sister. Sorry about that. But, learning to deal with being let down is "good for you" AKA, "the worst words a kid can hear".
To ease the pony let down, while I was looking around Ebay, I came across a My Little Pony stable carrying case also from 1984.
I had this when I was a little girl, and remember how much fun it was to put the little ponies in their stalls. I am aware that the excitement of it all is almost too much to handle. But, I thought you may enjoy it also, until I noticed the price: "Buy it Now for $29. Plus $8 shipping." Are you kidding me? It's a piece of toxic-laden plastic from the 80's. Disappointment is a lot cheaper, and a lot better for you than Bisphenol-A, phthalates, and melamine.
Besides disappointment, Daddy and I decided to give you a birthday party at the local paint your own pottery store, which for some reason you think is a restaurant. I made sure there was a wide selection of butterflies and kitties to choose from for you to paint, because I love not hearing you have two meltdowns in one day you so much.
That's where my battery runs out. And, crap. And off I go to find fake fruits to feed your dollhouse...
Luckily for me, your birthday falls in December, so we still have Christmas and Hanukkah to make it up to you. I love you, sweet girl.
Love,
Mommy

So you're telling me that this lucky kid gets a birthday, Christmas and Hanukkah all in one month? That's awesome! She is so cute with her shy act in the video... and Connor's Spiderman outfit rocks!
So I just emailed you a few min ago then realized I sent it from a different account so don't delete it. Now you know my real identity. I'm skeered.
Happy Birthday Sayde! I hope you find that sparkly flower butted pony for her...
I had that pony barn too!!!!!!!!
Hope that the birthday goes swimmingly.
I will be on the look out for the blonde My Little Pony with the flower in it's back. Remember the purple and white barn we had too? With the little fences?

Shes adorable. We have a Clayground here and our kids absolutely love it! Have fun...at the restaurant!
Awww! Happy birthday to her!
I'll have my Mom check our attic for that specific My Little Pony. I was a My Little Pony freak back in the day!
Have a great time at the "restaurant"
Hey!!! Never any pressure on the tags girlfriend. The worst feeling is pressure from some dumb ass blogger bugging you to write about something you're just not feeling.... or worse yet, taking pictures of your fucking purse contents! I don't make em, I just pass em on and since I don't have much of an audience, you're usually so lucky to be tagged by me!! No worries, swear!
Soooooo cute! I can't believe Sayde is already 6. AND I can't believe that you (and/or Mrs. Nolan) didn't save the My Little Ponies from our own 6-year-old-hood. You could have passed them on to Sayde... or to some desperate mother on EBay.
