Yep. She's three!
Three is great for birthdays because it's usually the first birthday where the kids actually get what's going on. At one and two, kids just don't really understand the reason for lighting cake on fire and holding it in their faces.
But that all changes at three.
Daisy talked about her birthday every day for at least three months. She also sang "Happy Birthday" to herself very loudly for weeks, and everywhere we went, she would point out things she wanted for her birthday.
(My favorite was one day at Target about two months ago when she totally changed her clothes in the middle of the store. I looked away for one minute and when I looked back, she was dressed in Target merchandise and announced, "I'm buying these clothes for my birthday party!" She even went so far as to pull the tags off. Sorry, Target!)
For her birthday, we gave her a dress-up gown with sparkly shoes, new sheets for her bed, a few containers of Play-Doh (in girl colors), a sleeping bag, and some hair elastics.
On the night of her birthday, her grandparents came over for cake and ice cream.
Daisy was looking forward to blowing out her "own" candles. I got ready with the camera to capture the moment, and this happened:
We had to have a do-over.
But fortunately she wasn't too traumatized!
Happy Birthday
to our sweet and stubborn little girl!
Happy Birthday sweet girl!
