What an exciting week! Lillee Grace has turned three approximately three or four times. Let's see, we started the festivities with her class party at the Methodist church. Next, we had an intimate affair at home on her actual birthday (Tues.) with leftover frozen cupcakes. That was the big day we went to the aquarium. The final shabang was today at Megamaze in the Griff. We only had a few friends come: Bo, Katelin, Ben, Abby, Caroline and Elizabeth was out of town. Very small gathering but considering the pills I would have had to consume for more children to be there. What a great place. You can take your kids' shoes off, throw them in the ball pit and let them run! My parents were here and that was a big help considering the father of my children was busy getting his cake and ice cream while I was trying to juggle the video camera and the other one too. You can tell Scott and my dad had a great time racing. Still on a high from Daytona. Melissa was up from St. Simons visiting a "friend" so she came down this a.m. too. That was a great treat!
Our little princess was showered with gifts. The strawberry shortcake theme was a hit. There was some intrinsic reward for me when Scott said how much the bakery liked my designed cake. Still having control issues. It can't be just any cake! She got lots more princess dresses and tutus. Everything in excess - that's the theme around here. It's hard to believe that three years ago we were holding her like she would break. I think we still do that. She's so growny. Sometimes she acts just like her father with her quirkiness and the peculiarity. However, it is times where she is anticipating Baxter getting slobber on her magic wand and already thinking about getting the Chlorox wipes that she is totally my child. She definitely tolerates her brother better now and is getting along with him. Everything is done in her own time which gets under my skin at times because I must keep the family on their schedules. She does not understand the fact that we will "BE LATE IF YOU DO NOT TAKE THE TRAILER PARK CLOTHES OFF NOW!" Overall, I think we've got a keeper that can be super duper sweet if you'll just hang out with her for a few months!
