The Big "3"

Well, it happened. Riley turned 3. I tried to slow it down by making Sunday action packed and long, but it happened anyway. 3 just sounds so much further away from baby. She will always be my baby, but we are loving her as our big girl too.
She was so worn out from Sunday that she slept late (past 7:30 is late for her). Daddy went and got her some chocolate milk and a chocolate covered donut with sprinkles - thanks Daddy for loading her up with tons of sugar and then leaving for work. We woke her up with said donut and milk and let her eat them at her play table. Not one drop, sprinkle or sugar granule went to waste. We let her open her "on your real birthday" presents - a Boz book, gigantic Dora coloring book and a toddler Candy Land game. We received lots of phone calls from family and I made sure the bank teller and the 3 workers at Walmart that we saw knew it was her big day. She loved it.

Ummmm birthday breakfast is yummy!


Sprinkles all over....and the sugar is flowing!
