today is taylor's 3rd birthday. wow. can't believe she's a let you know what she thinks- remembering trival info like mine and jonathan's favorite colors-communicating/internalizing feelings-retaining people's names she just met-fully potty trained-package of THREE. i let her open one present after breakfast (above)...it was from uncle stacy and aunty jenny. perfect. she's *totally* into everything princess (it'll be a nice segway to the ballerina thing). aunty anna and uncle kona also got tay a ballerina inspired gift: a pink leotard and tutu with birthday confetti between the layers of tulle. cute!
after "lazing" around this morning (by my mental schedule, we have about 30 minutes left), we're going to get dressed and head out to have our annual birthday pictures taken, aunty meredith's taking us out to lunch (like she has since tay's been born-she's awesome about working in some "mommy-had-to-birth-you" appreciation on tay's birthday like that!) and we'll get our birthday cupcake and desserts-daddy's chocolate mousse and mommy's creme brulee-for tonight's little family celebration (tay's real bday party has always been a few days later on the weekend). tay's birthday party with friends will actually be next weekend at the neighborhood splash park...she's looking forward to it. keeps asking for chocolate birthday cake and purple presents. don't know where the purple present thing came from, but she's so eloquently articulated her desires, it's hard not to oblige! and, for those of you who know my daughter well, she's requested a dora theme AGAIN. when i proposed other cartoon characters or themes, she unwaveringly stated: "no mama, i like *dora*." =)
