Our little girl turned three today! These three years have been some of the sweetest, most challenging, energy-filled, fun, tiring, lovely, precious years of my life. Miss Springer is unlike any other-all cuddles and kisses one minute and crazy wild-eyed chaos the next. She's full of laughter, amazingly imaginative friends, contradictions, opinions, thoughts, questions and energy (that's a reoccurring word, isn't it?)...just when we think we have a handle on her, she switches lanes and is off and running in the other direction (sometimes quite literally). She makes me smile and laugh daily-and brings me to tears at moments as well. I recently read a wonderful book about raising and loving 'strong willed children'; the author said, "These children will change the world, because there's no way the world's going to change them." I have no doubt that the next 3 years and the next and the next will be utterly delightful and full of new adventures-for each of us!
Springer inspects her gift from Carver-her first My Little Pony-a huge hit!
The nursery set is a great addition to her doll house.
An early morning hug with Kane and Tutu.
and more snuggles with Kane.
All dressed up and ready for her party!
Mae and Springer wait for the party to get started.
Springer's party was held at a 'paint your own pottery' studio...the girls loved painting heart shaped boxes, plates, ice cream sundae dishes and ballet slippers. Carver picked out a very cool skate board. I think everyone had a terrific time.
Making a wish...
Taking a break from all of the new toys to read with Tutu.
After picking out her birthday gift from Kane and Tutu Springer could not wait to try it out...we had to pull her off her new big girl bike when it was time to head to bed. Here's to tomorrow!
