Leah's 3

Actually Leah has been three for over a week now but I am just getting everything together. Leah's number one birthday request was this giant bucket of orange cheeto things. Whenever she would see them at the store and ask for them I would tell her we could get them for her birthday so a few weeks ago when she saw them and exclaimed she couldn't wait till her birthday so she could have some I knew I had to make it happen. Somehow, though, the girls don't really like them so Silas and I have taken on the challenge of eating them. We don't really mind.

 We had our parents over and had a little party for her with a unicorn theme later in the evening. The unicorn part seemed kind random but Leah claims to love unicorns and it was a welcome change from the princess scene so we went with it. The best part of the party turned out to be the glasses of pink pop rimmed with sprinkles. I almost skipped it because of time but am so glad Becky talked me into doing them real quick because the kids loved it.

 Leah requested nachos for dinner so we did that along with taco stuff for those with more adult taste. Then a unicorn piniata, cake, and presents. 

 The ONLY thing Leah wanted for her birthday was one of the light up bonky stick things (she had one that she got as a Christmas present that got broken and she has missed it ever since). We even took her to Walmart and browsed the toys asking her to point out things that she wanted but she didn't really want anything. How crazy is that?!

She really did love all the presents she got though. I wish I took more video of her opening them because she was so excited the whole time.

As a three year old, Leah is usually incredibly easy going. She gets along great most of the time with a more then slightly bossy older sister. They can usually be found playing princesses (three inch dolls), barbies, or Jake and the Never Land Pirates where Leah is Jake, Naomi is Izzy, and Silas is Cubby. When it comes to meals she is not really picky but hardly eats anything. I've started to accept that it just doesn't take much food to take her 35 pound little frame going. She gets lots and lots of nosebleeds and leg aches, is still very attached to her two hour afternoon nap, and wants to be just like her big sister.

And, finally, here she is to tell you a little bit about herself.
