Winry is already 3!!! How did that happen!?! Honestly, I think the crazier thing was to think that she was only 2 just a week ago. I feel like children change a LOT while they are 2. When I think of a 2 year old I think more of just turning 2, so it's felt more like Winry was a 3 year old for the last while. We had a wonderful day on her birthday, and most importantly Winry had a superb day! Here we are singing happy birthday to her as the day closed out!
I decorated the house for Winry after she went to bed the night before, and she was super happy to see everything when she woke up. We put streamers around the room, put up the happy birthday banner, and put up some of the candy shaped balloons we got for her birthday last year! She was very happy when she woke up! She was even happy on Tuesday morning when everything was still up, and when she came downstairs she said "Hey! It's my birthday again!"
At breakfast Winry deftly counted to show us how old she was. Turns out when you don't go in public as much you don't remember your age as much. Brooke always had it down, but then again random people would ask Brooke her age all the time while we were at the store, etc. This past year there hasn't really been any of that, so age isn't quite as automatic for Winry right now.
After breakfast we let Winry open her presents. She loved it all! Grayson gave Winry some Frozen undies (like, the movie, not a prank. He's still only 2 months old), and I don't have any pictures cause I haven't figured out a "classy" way to get one yet, but Winry has been potty training since Tuesday and still hasn't had an accident!
Winry also got this giraffe from Brooke and absolutely LOVES it!!
I took a half day from work and we all headed to the zoo in the afternoon. The carousel was open, and since it was a special occasion we asked the kids if they wanted to go for a ride. Of course they did! We even get 2 free rides a year with our membership, so we just used those. The girls had a great time. Winry got to pick where we sat. First she wanted to be on a zebra until I mentioned that it would go up and down, and then we sat on a peacock bench instead.
Here we all are together with the Mongolian horses! I always stop to say hi and grab a picture, and this time the girls joined me!!
Monica got a picture with the girls and the giraffe. Note that Winry has her giraffe with her too.
That evening after dinner we sang happy birthday (and could be seen in the first picture) and then all had cupcakes. Winry really wanted a turtle cake which was from Brooke's princess cook book. It was basically a cupcake with a turtle made out of various candies, and Monica did her best to find candy we could use to make them. They turned out great, and were delicious too! It was chocolate cake with mint icing!
Here's everyone at bedtime!
At Winry's dance class on Wednesday, she got to try on her recital dress! How cute! I can't wait to see her dance!
On Thursday, Brooke headed to the dentist to get her cavity filled. She had to get a crown, and it was her first time heading in for more than a check up. She got to watch Moana, and she did amazing! All in all it took them about 25 minutes from the time we got there until they were done. Brooke had a great time, so that's very good.
Here you can see her crown in her mouth. Once she was done she seemed a bit out of it from the nitrous. They gave her a popsicle, and the first one just slipped out of her hand after like 5 seconds. I don't think she even realized what happened. She came back to normal pretty quickly though, and we headed to Kneaders to pick up breakfast. Brooke had to be fasting, so she was very hungry and we let her pick.
Winry (....and by Winry, he meant Jelly...but most of this fits for Winry too, so we'll just leave that!) found a squirrel on the fence yesterday. She loves to watch out the window for wildlife. A week or so back she saw the neighbors cat out back on their hot tub where it likes to sit and was meowing at it. I opened the window for her, but she wouldn't meow loud enough for the other cat to hear. Also, Jelly has a new game she loves. She'll go into the bathroom and meow, like she wants you to turn on the water so she can get a drink. When you head in she jumps around the corner as you come in the door to get you!! I like it, the girls don't....
