we played musical ho... |
and Jordan got and I gave him his favorite color for girls is purple.
mhm.
and we gave him a purple one.
oh cool.
and there you can um size them big and small.
oh.
the rings?
yeah the rings.
oh.
so they're adjustable huh?
mhm.
cool.
yeah.
that sounds like a wonderful birthday.
and mom made this cake and it was so cool... |
I won't tell him because I probably won't ever see him.
and don't tell my mom.
I won't.
so did what happened?
was he just looking for his bracelet and it was gone?
no.
he forgot all about that birthday party.
and I just chowed it.
I ate it all gone.
and the hard part was to get the one that was tied together.
uhhuh.
bu... |
and all the girls ate them.
and Jordan did not.
mhm.
and all the girls I said come on let's eat some of those candies.
mhm.

wow.
so tell me about the cake your mom made.
what did it what was it like?
um well it was kind of like a castle.
wow.
it had these little turr... |
there was one in the middle I think.

because if you were five you would need five candles right?
mhm.
wow.
that's pretty cool.
that sounds like a lot of fun.
so what do you think you'll do this year for your birthday?
what kind of party do you want this year?

mhm.
it's name whisper.
and it's a Mexican pony kind of.
mhm.
and it has a coat and that's the only coat we have so they share.
well that's a good idea.
you could also maybe ... |
it's a part...
it's different?
yeah.
one is kind of like cut down velvet um I would say once.
mhm.
twice or something like that.
and that would be like the pony.
for the regular house.
and the other one is just like plastic.
okay.
gotcha.
but when you spread out his legs it makes noise.
mhm.
it like [child demonstr... |
and then a tan like a brown saddle.
and for comfort instead of just having the saddle hurting on the back.
mhm.
uh there's a red blanket.
oh.
and Jordan's is kind of like a Mexican.
on Jordan's plastic one it's kind of like a Mexican so type one.
mhm.
