We started out by reading a book about Curious George and his birthday surprise, then moved outside for a "monkey hunt" where the kids all searched for candy-stuffed "bananas."
Then we played "George Says" (red light, green light)followed by Curious George bingo.
The party wrapped up with cake and presents. Nora's friends gave her some fantastic and thoughtful gifts and she has been playing with them nonstop since then. Thank you friends, for helping make her big day so fun!
The whole day (and for many weeks before) Nora often excitedly shouted "happy birthday!" and sang the happy birthday song to herself. Surprisingly, after her birthday ended she hasn't really done that. I guess she figured out it was a one-time event. And I am very proud of her for not having any melt-downs during the party as I had been warned might happen. Way to go birthday girl!
