Three

Audrie turned three years-old today.  Feels like yesterday and an eternity.  She is such a loving, happy, smart, funny girl.  She has her moments of temper tantrums as she learns to deal with all those emotions that toddlers have.  She loves her brother even when she is being mean to him.  She is growing and changing.  I love how her face lights up when she realizes I have come home.  I hope she never loses that sense of love and contentment being with Nana and Papa.
Today we baked her brown cake and made her green frosting.  Her original plan was no writing, no candles, no ice cream and no presents.  For some reason she did not mind when Nana put the candle on the cake and she really did not mind the ice cream.  And presents are a no brainer.  She got play doh, a puzzle, a game and her curvy board.
Open Ended Creations created a great product.  Once she got that every thing else was forgotten for the time being.  She did not want to share even with Zach.  She took right to it and started playing.  Once Connor got it he was enthralled and you could see he thinks his sister gets the coolest stuff.  I think I made a good choice in this purchase.
It was a lovely party.  Thanks Mom, Jodi and Zach for helping make a memorable day for Audrie on this day she turned three.
