My baby is THREE YEARS OLD!!

I can not believe it. She is actually three years old. Where has the time gone? When did she get so big? Brian and I have been working with her to teach her to say that she is "three years old." She refused. She told me that she wanted to stay two. That she wanted to "keep little forever mommy." That brought tears to my eyes. I want her to stay little forever too. I'm just sad. I won't get to experience this age again. Although....right now, with the way she is acting, she will be lucky to make it to 3 1/2. Some days she is the sweetest little girl you have ever met. Then her body is taken over by something and she turns into a demon child. She did something on Thursday and she knew she was in trouble. I just looked at her and she walked into the hallways and put her nose on the wall. I never said a thing to her. About two minutes later she asked if she could come off the wall. I told her yes and she said, "I'm really sorry Mommy."

So, Miss K has pretty much been celebrating her birthday for almost the entire month! We started when my parents came into town to visit over the 4th of July weekend. Of course they brought birthday presents. Then the next weekend we went on vacation and part of our vacation was a trip to the American Girl store to get her a Bitty Baby. We get back from vacation and that weekend was her birthday party at the Monkey's Treehouse. This past Wednesday we took cupcakes to her school so they could celebrate her birthday. Today...her actual birthday we are headed to one of her favorite places...Chuck E. Cheese. She doesn't like Chuck E. himself, she likes to ride that Derby game horse. She will ride it like 10 times in a row and I usually have to make her get off. So, we are heded to CEC to have lunch some of her friends. Then her other grandparents are coming into town later today. And, through out the month presents have been arriving in the mail. She gets excited when I check the mail these days.

Okay...gotta run. I leave you with another photo from Miss K's birthday party. Photo taken by Sherri. Blog ya later.
