a pink cake and party hats

3!

the morning after party, while i had a cupcake for breakfast.

olive had a birthday!

when i asked her what she wanted for her birthday she said, "a pink cake and party hats"
when i asked her what she wanted to do for her birthday she said "get a BIG pretzel ( a girl after my own heart) and go to the play place with lucy".
and so, that's what we did. when she's 16, i'd like to look back and remember how easily pleased she was at 3.


olive is such a fun and spirited kid. she's becoming a real, little, person and her ever growing vocabulary keeps us laughing.


her dark curly hair continues to grow (yay! i'm happy to report that the boy comments have slowed down drastically), her lips are naturally rosy and she has her mother's pasty complexion (you can't win them all). she towers over most kids her age and constantly scares surprises me at her coordination and abilities. (the kid can climb anything).

she loves to pick on harrison, and he adores her. she loves to dance, and sing and play her guitar, and she's 100% committed to curious george right now; there is no one else for her.

she's sweet and affectionate and fiery. oh how i love her. 

a tell tale sign that the birthday was a success. we spent most of the next day recreating it for timmy. hooray!
