3 Year Old Girl Birthday Party

Hi there. We are having a "Glamour" Birthday party for my little 3 year old Glamour Girl. She LOVES nail polish and lipstick and dressing up. Anyways, I have already purchased star studded sunglasses and boas (the feather kneck things) for the girls to dress up in while at the party, but what can I do "glamouris" for boys? The party is in two weekends so I have some time to think, but I just don't know what to get for the boys to dress up in or play with for the party. Thanks!

My 4-Year-old Constantly Wants Me to Play with Her: Advice?

Hi, Just wondering how other moms have responded to their young kids when they want you to play with them. Lately my 4-year-old daughter is constantly asking me to play with her (usually pretend-play), and gets upset when I have to do other things like housework. She seems to have lost the ability to entertain herself, and it's driving me a bit crazy. She has a younger brother (19 months), but he's too young to really play with her the way that she wants to. Any ideas on what to do?

Suggestions for 4 Year Old Birthday Party

Hi, My daughter is turning 4 on April 1st, and has decided that she wants a dog themed birthday party. She will be inviting about 6 kids. Has anyone done a party like this before? The only idea I have is to make dog-bone shaped cookies, and have those for "treats" (prizes) after the kids play games. But I don't have ideas for games, food, or a cake...any suggestions would be great--I'm open to all ideas! Thanks!

4 Year Old Behavior

I am wondering if any of you have experienced some of these characteristics with your 4 year old (I have a boy). He can't stand tags in his clothing, socks are too tight, pants are too tight (even though they are not.....), no long sleeve shirts (can't stand them!). Behaviors he has are: tantrums....screaming, yelling, and hitting the bedroom door...etc... when we are transitioning him from one thing to the next...and he is not happy about the next event. We also are hearing from others that he is bugging other kids who are next to him...

Star Wars Birthday Ideas?

Yes, I am a total Star Wars nerd, and my son has become one too! He was given a yoda t-shirt and was scared of it (yoda looks strange) until my husband said "Yoda is not scary----he's like, a sifu" (Kung Fu teacher). That did the trick, and he suddenly loved Yoda. So we started showing him the movies, and sitting there to explain things to him. He's a huge Star Wars fan now, and requested that his next birthday party be a Star Wars party. He will turn 5 at the end of October. Can you creative mamas help me out with some ideas to make this...
