Happy 3rd birthday!



I can't believe it - my baby's 3!!!! Yesterday was Emma's 3rd birthday. I tried to make her day special by letting her pick the places to eat. She chose to eat lunch at Chick-fil-A and supper at Red Robin (her original choice was McDonald's until we mentioned Red Robin). At supper, they had someone dressed up in a big red robin costume that came around to each table. At first, the kids weren't too sure about it, but before we left I think they each had given her a hug at least 2-3 times. I'm hoping the 3s prove to be the terrific three's and not just a continuation (or worse) of the terrible two's. Here are her stats and a few of her favorite things:

39 inches, 32 pounds

1. ride the train and Duck ride at Stone Mountain
2. eat at Chick-fil-A
3. scrambled eggs for breakfast, and sometimes sausage
4 . play at the "playpark" (this is just her word for any playground)
5. run and jump (anywhere and off of just about anything)
6. eat "ice crame" (we don't know where she ever heard ice cream pronounced this way)
7. whine, scream and/or pitch a fit (this probably should've been #1 on the list)
8. never go to sleep (for a nap or at bedtime) - this makes for wonderful afternoons and evenings when she's so tired and cranky and makes sure everyone else is at least as miserable as she is
9. wear her "cute, pink" flip flops, if any shoes at all
10. color - crayons, pencils, markers, chalk

We're celebrating both kids' birthdays this weekend with a party at My Gym (another one of Emma's favorites). I'll post pictures after the party.
