Our Family: Mya's 3rd Birthday!

Our baby girl turned three this week on August 3rd. It is her golden birthday. I didn't even know what a golden birthday was until a friend at a pool party informed me. Should we have bought gold instead of presents?

Mya specifically requested a princess fairy party and a princess fairy party is what she got. Our house is still covered with tinkerbell fairy decorations and purple balloons for her enjoyment. To her delight she received numerous crowns, tutus and dress up shoes.

This morning she was a princess dinosaur. Don't you just love it when your little tutu princess spends the whole morning trying to eat you?

I swear in the few days following her third birthday she has grown up so much. She now wants an explanation for everything. Today she asked me why a friend of hers at the pool stubbed his toe while playing. I answered the best way I could but nope, not good enough. She asked me the same question again 17 times. "Why, why why......"

I love it that she is so curious about others and her surrounding world. Mya is a pure delight.

She is also showing off her independence at full speed ahead. Best of all, her creativity is wild with imagination. There are plenty of laughable moments during the day. One of my recent favs is when she pretended to be blowing water out of her whale blow hole. She'd run to us and pretend to spray us with water by rubbing her back against our legs while making a blowing noise.
