Eve's Birthday

Our little Eve turned three years old today. She's been practicing holding up three fingers all day (it's infinitely harder than holding up just two.) Even though we won't be having her party until Saturday, we tried to make her day as special as possible. As tradition in our family (begun by Grace) we started the day with bringing Eve breakfast in bed. We even put a candle in her muffin! Eve chose to wear a pink tutu all day to commemorate the day of her birth. After our usual morning at the gym, Eve and I went to a special Halloween story time at the library. Later in the afternoon we watched " It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown" and carved our own pumpkins (well actually more like I carved 3 and a half pumpkins...Grace did some of her own.) After dinner when Daddy got home we built ice cream sundaes.

I was realizing the other day that there are no longer evidences of a baby, or even a toddler in our house. No more diapers. No more booster seat at the table. No more bibs. Not even a sippy cup. The only glimpse of my baby comes at bed time when I hold her close as she sucks her thumb. I kiss her soft cheeks, and there is only a slight pudge to them now. Where did that sweet baby fat go? Well, at least she still has her curls!
