Caitlin the preschool princess turned three yesterday. Initially, she was not wonderfully enthused about turning three; after all, it's quite a bit harder to make the three sign with one's fingers than it is to make the two sign. And, as she has often been reminded, three-year-olds need to use the potty, even though as Caitie says, "I like my diapers," and "Going pee-pee on the floor is fun."
But in the end, when reminded of the birthday party and accompanying birthday presents, Caitlin decided that perhaps turning three would not be so bad. For her party, she requested a pink cake with pink ice cream and pink milk. To this was added strawberries with pink fruit dip and pink frosted cookies. Presents were wrapped in pink paper, and a vase of pink tulips completed the not-so-understated theme.
The guests were Caitie's favorite grown-ups, Tyronza and Dr. Scot, and Susan and Mr. Scott. Everyone enjoyed the cake and ice cream, and especially the strawberry milk. Jacob gave Caitlin a Big Sister Dora doll, complete with baby brother and sister. He's more than ready to turn six in a few weeks.
It was the first time that we have had guests in our new house. Now it's really beginning to feel like home.
