For the past few months I have being telling Mikayla a bedtime story about the meow family. This particular story stemmed from Mikayla’s love of all things cat - side note: I can’t believe I gave birth to such a cat lover! These stories are about our everyday activities, but instead of using our names I use Daddy Meow, Mommy Meow and Mimi Meow – another side note: Mikayla calls herself Mimi. The past month I started telling the Mimi Meow birthday story and would go through each of the activities the meow family would do to celebrate Mimi Meow’s birthday. Mikayla LOVED this story and memorized it. Along wanting to hear the story constantly, Mikayla would run around saying “Mimi birthday coming” “Mimi birthday March 5th” and she also told me she wanted an “ishe creawm cake” with “duckies” swimming on it.
So here is the story of Mimi Meow’s birthday.
Mimi meow’s birthday weekend was here and so the Meow family hopped in the car and drove to the mall to begin the celebrations! Why the mall you ask? Well Mimi Meow’s favorite place of all is the mall that has the “horseys” (carousel) “mountain” (fountain) and the “horsey apple” (applesauce she gets to eat with her lunch).
Having arrived at the mall with a big “HORRAY” from Mimi meow… the meow family headed inside and Mimi meow and Daddy meow took their first ride on the carousel.
After that ride the meow family grabbed a munchkin doughnut for Mimi meow and then headed down to the fountain. There Daddy meow and Mommy meow enjoyed a nice cup of coffee and Mimi meow ran back and forth throwing coins in the fountain. This lasted twenty minutes since mommy meow brought many pennies.
Then it was time to play in the kids area and Mimi meow learned to jump into Daddy meow’s arms… something that made mommy meow a little nervous.
Next it was time for the second carousel ride to which Mimi meow replied “HORRAY” and mommy meow got slightly ill.
By this time in our story the mall was filled by the yelps and screams of little children eating McDonalds for lunch… Mimi meow’s lunch? Rice, beans and avocado (her favorite!) and horsey apple!
Next up? A trip to Build a Bear where Mimi Meow picked out a Cat she named “meow” and an outfit.
Finally it was time to go on one more carousel ride to which Mikayla replied “all done, home” and the meow family left to go home.
Mikayla loved her day and we were so happy to experience it with her!

The next day we had a family party and Mikayla’s favorite gift was her card that saying Happy Birthday in meow.
