Happy Birthday Big girl of 3.


Dear Hazelita, 
September 8th you turned 3!  You are walking talking sweet pea.  You have a strong voice when you feel you need it but do not hesitated to tell me 500 times a day, "You're my mama! I'm your big girl (which changed the day you turned 3 from I'm your baby.)  You've yelled at people who complemented me on my pretty baby.  A firm foot stomp and a shake of a flung back head and your hands draw to your hips as you declare with a fanned out hand, "I big girl! NOT BABY! I three."  You and I spent the afternoon playing at the Wonder Lab before picking Henny up from school.   


For your birthday you requested dinner with chippies, which means Mexican food.  You opened your presents there.  We got you a precious little deer necklace, bracelet and ring ansamble, a huge tube of cupcake chapstick you smeared on so thick your lips look dipped in wax, some animal socks, big girl undies you cheered about but then tossed to the side because you'll do the potty thing sometime before college, some Hotwheels racetracks,  and then a cell phone that beeps.  

The cellphone was compliments of your big brother.  As we were standing in line buying items for the school fundraiser Henry spotted it and jabbed me in the side.  I slipped him the money to pay in another line, but as he waited he kept trying to hide it but dropped it and flipped it and was struggling to keep it secret but managed it in the end.  You were excited and have been carrying it every day since.  We came home and had your requested dragon ice cream cake.  YUM!  


During the week there were even more birthday recognition when Bahboo came over with some sweet Frozen books for you.  Then at lunch with Heather D she princessed you up with a tiara, earrings, an Olaf and a wand. 
Then birthday money from Aunt Ruthie, Grandpa Tim and Trish and Grandma Jean finished out your week.  Your first desire for your birthday money, a salad.  A week later we drove up to visit your birthmama, WW and birth grandma for lunch and lil dollar store jaunt.  You had salad again and they were shocked when you actually ate it.  


WW gave you a lil silver bracelet that said best buds and L gave you some treats from the dollar store.  You were in heaven.  So many people love you lil mama.  Happy birthday, sweet pea.
Love, Mama
