My 3 year old

I can barely believe it myself.  Poppy is 3 years old.  And she is acting like a 3 year old too.  All sorts of new attitude and defiance and absolutely hysterical things she is saying lately.  The night before her birthday, as I was tucking her into bed I asked her if she could believe that she was going to be 3 tomorrow.  In a sad little voice she said "But I don't want to be 3!  I'm still want to be a little girl."  I re-assured her that she would have fun being a 3 year old and that she would still be a little girl.


We have her big birthday party at the zoo next weekend, so on her actual birthday we celebrated with the grandparents and my aunt and uncle, and a Korean feast.  Poppy was in her glory with all the rice and noodles she could eat...


Then it was time for the much-anticipated singing and birthday cake.  Here she is shushing everyone as she patiently awaits the festivities...



Check out the cake I made (it was much easier to make than it looks).


She got all sorts of princess and Thomas stuff for her birthday, which she couldn't have been happier with.  This morning she brought her shiny new plastic princess wand into our bed so that she could turn us into princesses and princes and then she stared at her wand and said "I got everything I ever needed for my birthday!"  Sweet girl.
