I wonder.....

if she is the future

Imelda Marcos

or

go-go dancer?

Lord, I really hope neither!

You have to see it....

to believe it!

One day at the pool Mary Austin looked at me and said

"Mommy, let me dive to you".

Imagine my surprise when she actually did! I just thought she was going to jump to me.

Nope and then we got in trouble with the lifeguard for her diving in the 5ft section.

Oops!

Be sure to watch all the way through so you can "see" what Jane Harris is thinking!

As you can see, unlike Mary Austin, she does not like to be the center of attention in a big group.

Last of the 3 year old parties

Being 3 still means lot of pictures much to Jane's dismay.

I get this look alot. I am looking forward to the tween and teen years.

Tripp may have to be comitted during that time!

The best thing about school is having your "tit-ta" just down the hall

Everyone waiting patiently for a cupcake

YUM!
Jane chose the cupcake combo - yellow cake and chocolate frosting.

Her favorite!

Conversation with a 3 year old

As you all know Jane Harris is now potty trained. This is great but it means that we now clean out her potty instead of her diaper. No, she will not sit on the big potty as she is scared of falling in it - even with a child size seat. This was a conversation we had after she had pooped.

Mommy: "Jane Harris come here so I can wipe you."

Jane Harris: "okay mommy"

I wipe her.

Mommy: "okay you are now all sparkly clean"

Jane Harris "Thank you, your Majesty"

Mommy: "your welcome"

And that is why it is not always good to be Queen.

Mermaids don't care about the rain

So, unfortunately Fay did not get my letter to her and her outer bands started to hit us this morning just in time for our mermaid swim party. The good news is that she was not packing any heat - no thunder and lightening means you can still swim.

Jane Harris did not care and Mae said "Mommy, Mermaids don't care about the rain".

And you know what? She was right! We had a blast!

And Jane did not have to worry about getting sunburned at her birthday party!

Main centerpiece.

Yes, I did all the centerpieces and decor. My friend La La Fabulous did the mermaid. I am not an artist just a cut, paste, paint and glitterer! I have to admit that I LOOOOOVE glitter! I mean I really really looooover glitter. This is one reason why La La Fabulous and I are such good friends. Plus, we have a bond when it comes to throwing a theme party!

Where has the time gone?

Darling Jane,

Today you turned 3. I cannot believe that you have now transitioned from a baby to a preschooler! The times seems to have flown by almost as if I put you to bed as a baby and you woke up as a big girl. You have such a sweet spirit that contrasts with your ability to be a spitfire at the drop of a hat. Daddy and I love you so much along with "tit-ta" and everyone else.

You are the miracle we were told would not happen.

Love always,

Mommy
