Oh, bouncy bounce, how I talked and talked about you NON stop over the past month or so.  As soon as the parental units let me know that I would be getting you for my birthday, I could think of nothing else except for you, bouncy bounce, my love!  Every waking moment was spent thinking about you.  And every wonderful, incredible dream that I had at night was about you, oh bouncy bounce.  Then, oh joy of joys, the day came that you and I would be together forever!  I could barely contain my excitement and I stood by the window all morning waiting for you to come to me.  I was so impatient, waiting with bated breath, for you.  Then, finally, the bouncy bounce man came and set you up in my very own backyard and you and I could finally be together.  Nothing would keep us apart now!  I wouldn't need to take a boring old nap or eat stupid lunch now that you were mine. 

We spent at least ten wonderful minutes together that morning bouncing our little hearts out.  Then, as you know, being three years old took over and my attention was diverted to my BFF, Sand Box.  You see, Sand Box and I have been together a LONG time.  Practically my WHOLE life.  And Sand Box knows me like no other.  He knows what toys I like to play with and knows exactly how much sand I like in my socks.  Sand Box is truly my BFF.

It's not to say that you and I wouldn't play again, oh bouncy bounce.  I played with you a couple of times that wonderful day whenever my attention span came back your way.  I'm sorry I didn't spend as much time with you as I promised, but, well, again, I'm three years old and I don't play with ANYTHING for very long, you see.  You must understand that I'm only going to be three for ONE YEAR and I must play with as many things as I possibly can, because when I'm four years old, I'm going to be old like my brother and then I have to get a job or something!

Of course I was sad when you left me.  Don't you remember me coming out late that night and saying goodbye to you when the bouncy bounce man came to take you back to bouncy bounce land?  I blew you a kiss and told you how much fun I had with you and told you to come back soon.

And next time, I promise to play with you more.....oh, wait, is that a lizard over there?  I'll see you later, oh buncy bounce.  I have to go and check this out....

With love,

Princess K
