Happy Birthday Lyla Jane...Your 3 now.

Dearest Lyla, Today you turned three and it was wonderful. You got up at about 6am and almost opened all of your presents without me and with Evelyn's help. I awoke to pure joy as you had already opened one.
 You loved your presents and got lots of Lalaloopsy stuff. Which is your absolute favorite thing right now. You got about 3 dolls worth today and you were in heaven. You got a fishing game that Evelyn has been playing lots with you, and you have shared well.
 You opened up presents at Grandma's house and Grammy came over here and gave you a wonderful tote to put all of your new toys in. You tried to hold up three fingers all day long, but really held up four it was the cutest thing ever!!
  For the past 6 months you have talked about getting earrings like Eban (Evelyn) and today you did it. You went into Claire's with me and we picked out some pretty blue flowers that you just adore and love. You were so brave and sat so still. I didn't know if you would really do it but you did. You did a soft cry for a few minutes and then you were so happy to have them. Daddy went to the car and got your last present from us. A Lalaloopsy Doll and you are sleeping with it right now you haven't put it down. You and Evelyn rode some rides at the mall.  We took you to Old McDondalds and you played in the play place. (Not my choice for dinner but it was where you wanted to go). You were too little to go up where the big kids were so you stayed down in the toddler section and loved having it all to yourself.
 We came home and you blew out your Lalaloopsy cake and had some icecream. You were just glowing :)
 When I took your clothes off for a bath I forgot about your earrings and caught your shirt on one. You were crying as you told me it was just an accident. Your so sweet and forgiving. And you are always so polite and say thank you for everything. We are so happy to have you in our family. I love you Lyla Jane.
