My little 3 year old


My baby is three now!  I love this kid.  I think I've been able to really enjoy her more since I have a few mom years under my belt now.  It's easier to relish the little things when you have a bigger perspective on life as these kids' mom.  I probably wanted my other kids to grow up faster and be more self-sufficient since I had another baby to care for at this point.  But I'm perfectly fine with Alice staying my "baby" for a while.  Nevertheless, she still was determined to get a little older and become an all important three year old.  She surprises me all the time with the things she picks up from her sisters.  She wants to play with big girls toys and sing weird made up songs like them.  Alice is so tolerant of the hundreds of kisses she has to endure from me every day.  I'm so glad she's mine!

We haven't had much snow this year, so Alice was VERY excited to run around in it and make footprints all over.

No breakfast in bed for this kid yet, but pancakes with whipped cream sure hit the spot!

Alice's designated present opening spot was on Daddy's lap

Sophie helped decorate for Alice's party - she made this crepe paper version of our little Alice for the window.

Alice got lots of fun things for her birthday - but Sophie seems to be taking possession of whatever suits her fancy. 

Alice is really good at blowing - but not so good at directional blowing.  It took her a while to get all of her candles out.

Alice and her little cousins (along with big cousin helpers) had fun playing Bingo during the party.
