Happy Birthday Addison

Addison turned three today! She started the morning by leaving her paci in her room because three year olds don't use pacis. She did go to bed with it though, so she has not given it up forever. I am certain when we go to the dentist next week that the dentist won't be so pleased she is still using it. We did take it away for two month prior to the twins and then she just sucked her thumb like there was no tomorrow, and her teeth started shifting unevenly. At that point, we gave the paci back. At least it's soft and the suck is evenly distributed.

Anyway, her third birthday was a success. I told her she couldn't open her presents as soon as she got home from mother's day out because she had to wait for daddy. When she got home she looked for the Christmas tree and her presents. An indication that her birthday is too close to Christmas for sure! Here she is opening her presents:

Addison is showing how old she is!

Big breath in.....

...and blow! She blew them out in one breath!

Addison reports having a great birthday. Mommy had to leave before cooking dinner for a lab practice. I anticipated making her favorite: chicken, rice, with mixed vegetables. She loves baby corn so I bought a nice big can of it. At the last minute, a lab practice was scheduled, so I had to leave daddy with two crying babies and a three year old who wanted to play with her new Go Fish game. Luckily, Samantha next door was able to come and play the Go Fish with her!

Her birthday party is going to be at Jumpin' Joeys in a couple of weekends. Should be a good time!
