Baby Girl Turns 3!

When the kids are this young, you have to admit the party is really for the parents. “Congratulations! You haven’t lost your mind!” For baby girl’s birthday, instead of hosting an extravaganza that I would ultimately be cleaning up after, we decided to have small gatherings with close friends ALL week.

We kicked off the celebration with a camping trip to Moro Bay. Unfortunately, in all the excitement baby girl gets injured in a restaurant along the way. Nothing too major, so we proceed to the ocean. Baby girl was not in the best mood…We will try again in July. (Moro Bay photos coming soon.)

Then, at school, there were birthday “dirt cups”--a concoction made to look like dirt and worms, except edible. The kids LOVED it…maybe too much. A little sugar never hurt anybody. (Don’t give me the stank eye. It was just pudding, not crack.) The look on her face when we sang happy birthday to her turned me into a puddle of mush.

And finally, we had some family over. There was pie and there was paint. Singing the birthday song again got her thinking her that her birthday was everyday.

Now we rest and try to get back on track….
