July 14th was Ariah's third birthday! She is such a blessing and an amazing picture of strength and beauty. I can't believe that she is three... it actually makes me kind of sad. But, she will always be my baby! We started her day out right with a six hour road trip. Unfortunately there was little to no celebration in the car since between the arguments, naps and singing songs we had little time to "party!" We did however go to Build a Bear a little while after getting home. It was fun for the girls but I really think it was over priced for what it was... but we do have two very cute stuffed CATS to show for it! Ariah chose a Hello Kitty and named it Hello Kitty Cat! Danica made a pretty pink & white cat names Ashla! Such good names!
Ariah's "real" birthday party is coming up and I'm not very motivated to get anything done for it. In fact I haven't bought ONE thing yet and it is in 7 days. Guess Im just really not ready for her to be so BIG... I remember my little girl that could stand up at the age of 6 months old and that somehow got herself into a moving box. My baby that crawled into the fire place to taste the remaining soot in the middle of summer... My baby who never could seem to get enough to eat and would eat everything! But now my baby is bigger and has some very cute habits... she loves all small things and everything that is little is a "baby". She is convinced she will grow backwards and one day be a teeny tiny baby again and I will have to carry her everywhere (something she talks about daily!). Her newest habit is to beg for me to rock her to sleep and she now plays with my ear while falling asleep. Ordinarily I don't rock her to sleep but some nights when she is up way past her bedtime (as usual for her!), I do and it's so nice to know she still needs me!
