getting ready for her big day...

since tonight marks L.'s final night as a 4 yr. old, she decided she ought to prepare for tomorrow. So she wrote "A list" and laid it out on top of the clothes she set out for herself, right next to her bed.
this list is actually a few fish-shaped post-it notes that she taped together in a long string. it was too long for one photo, so i had to take two. It reads from right to left, like Arabic, and it is numbered for clarity, but the numbers are all backwards, too.

1. be quwit= be quiet

5. (note the helpful image of what she would like for a snack: a cherry yogurt!)

8. = buy pinata.

(ps: birthday post to come tomorrow. please wait to post any birthday wishes)
