Now we are Three

So on May 12th the girls officially turned 3 years old at 4:32 and 4:52 PM... They decided that waking me at these same times (except at the AM side of things) would be such a great thing to do.. So we started our Birthday on the early side this year.

They went to EI playgroup with a bag that had a dozen mini cupcakes in it to celebrate with their friends and teachers and then went to Grandma's house to spend the afternoon and to finally open the packages that came from their Uncles Alan and Ted and their wives Debbie and Debi. They also got to talk to their Uncle Teddy on my cell phone and got to hear him sing Happy Birthday to them and they got a small chance to chat with him too. They received clothing from Al and Debbie and swim stuff from Ted and Debi along with a nice dress each.

Later that afternoon I went to work and Lily decided that her official first act as a Three Year Old would be to throw up 4x in the space of 2 hours. I took her to the hospital right after she went for #5 and she had a small episode once we were waiting in the Pedi ER wait area to be called to see a doctor. Thankfully a Zofran was prescribed and after one lollipop, a popsicle and a sippy cup of Juice later, she was released and feeling better enough to get some sleep at Grandma's house.

Saturday we had their party and they made out like little bandits.. They got a ton of new toys to play with and a pile of clothing to wear this summer. They also got some giftcards for shopping and Mommy can't wait to take them. The cupcakes and the mini cake were a big hit and just about were gone the day of the party. I also had made Cookies and then Grandma got a fruit tray, some Pizza rolls and Party Mix. Everything was popular.. after cake and presents we let the kids loose in the backyard and everyone seemed to have a great time.

I missed having Lee with us to celebrate the day but I strongly believe that he was looking down on us and seeing it all anyway. Hopefully this year will be filled with all sorts of milestones. We are already working on learning to go Potty and have had a few successes. Anna even wore panties today for 3 hours before having an accident. We are getting used to sleeping in our Toddler beds and will be starting daycare this week.
