HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALYSSA!
I can't believe my baby girl is three years old. Where has the time gone? She's changed so much in these past three years. It's hard to imagine her as that teeny tiny baby she once was.
To celebrate, we had cake and opened presents. It was just the three of us. Alyssa got all sorts of fun things - Dora dishes, a DVD, a video, clothes, pajamas, a doll with clothes and accessories, a My First Leap Pad, a View Master with disks, and her favorite - a set of percussion instruments (drum, tambourine, maracas). She loves them. She also got a neat "Butterfly Habitat" with a certificate to send off for caterpillars. I think we'll order them in the spring so we can actually release the butterflies outside.
Now that Alyssa is three, she no longer qualifies as a toddler. I've considered asking to be moved to Preschoolers Today, but I think instead I'll just give everyone the link to my blog (which I am much better at keeping up to date.) It is located at http://innkeepermommy.mindsay.com/ If you'd like to keep up with me, that's where you'll find me!
Take care and hug those babies tight.
Christy
