Today was Eleanor's 3rd birthday!!
Right away she wanted to listen to the princesses sing her happy birthday. Thanks to Nanny and Papa for the CD on which the Disney princesses sing a happy birthday song with her name in it.
Her choice of attire for the day: Fancy Nancy shirt and the Tinkerbell necklace she got a few days early from Nanny and Papa.
Discovering the Happy Birthday plate.
Blueberry muffin breakfast
Eager to start opening cards and presents. Above, from Mimi and Papa Jimmy.
From Tim.
Checking out her card (and Snow White button!).
Noticing stickers on the package from Aunt Linda and Uncle Buck.
Opening presents.
Great timing! We just watched Tangled a week ago.
Claire didn't care how long we took opening birthday things as long as I kept grapes in front of her.
Grape-stained face.
If you're not watching her, Claire will find the wagon and (sometimes) take off with it. We haven't even practiced this together, helping her do it!
On the bus. Eleanor's wish for her birthday was to "go to Daddy's hospital." She's been talking about it for weeks.
So we went.
Watching the great ball maze in the lobby.
Claire in the cafeteria where we had lunch with Erik.
Picture with Daddy. Wearing a princess sticker she picked out from the "sticker room" at the clinic.
Waiting to catch the bus home. Claire gets cuddly, meaning we wore her out this morning.
But at the library after nap, she's all over the place, scooting away when I put her on the floor. Also, bringing me book after book from the book bin. She made a whole pile, delivered one book at a time. On one occasion, a few independent steps.
Eleanor's other request when I asked what else she wanted to do today? JP Licks. Of course, her first response had been "Go to Costco" but she thought about it for a minute and settled on ice cream instead.
Claire signs "please" for more ice cream.
Sweet face, crazy hair, chocolate mouth, princess button, tinkerbell necklace, and Fancy Nancy shirt. This is indeed Eleanor at age 3. We love you!
