Happy Birthday to Shaye!

Well my baby isn't a baby anymore!  She's the big 3--hit preschool and already seems like she may want to start dropping the nap.  I am curious to see if that means an later wake up time (praying for it).  We celebrated this weekend with a large crowd at the house, which seemed like a whirlwind of cooking and cleaning for me.  But fun none the less.

So at three years old Shaye weighs 39 lbs and is just under 40 inches tall.  She's in the 95-97 percentile for her age.  She loves purple and red, arts and crafts, playing babies, barbies, cars and now trains (her birthday gift from mommy and daddy was a new train set).  She doesn't seem to like sports, but loves yoga--just the mention of it sends her into a downward facing dog.

I'm Free!

I have the whole day to myself!!  And I feel almost frozen trying to decide what to do first.  Shopping, bath, pedicure or what it will really turn into mopping the floors, making dinner, doing laundry.

Here are some recent pics:  Shaye and her buddy Dean for Halloween and at Great Wolf Lodge and Shaye and Riley in a swing on a playdate.

Some October Fun and exhaustion

How is it almost November???  Its been a busy month with fun activities and play dates.  I have been quite tired lately and think it has to do with all we are doing, but who can say no to all the fun?

Happy Birthday to me!

Happy Birthday to me!  And Victor :)

So after a Sunday morning and afternoon of relaxing with the family hitting 34 doesn't feel so bad.  Earlier in the week I definitely had a what happened to the young me moment.  But an easy weekend and that pedicure I've been longing for for weeks have made it all better.  So...Happy Birthday to me.

You know it was fun when even your panties got dirty!

Shaye went to the park sleepy but ended up digging in the ball field with her friend and boy did they get dirty.  But often really dirty means really fun!

So as my daughter gets bigger; I have come to realize that my social life has become hers.  We spent the weekend meeting up with her friends (and she's not even 3!)  Thank god all the kids are great kids with wonderful families and its been fun!  So we spent 2 1/2 hours at the park with her friends from daycare, lunch with Riley and her family, afternoon at the Shrine's Country Festival with cousin Olivia, and dinner with Dean and his family on Sunday, concert at the library today with Olivia too.  There's also a cute picture from when the fire truck visited the preschool.
