Happy 3rd Birthday, Sophie!

On August 23rd, our big girl turned 3! 

It is SO hard to believe that she is so big and 3 already!  She is changing so much physically and developmentally.  I know I told y'all a while back how she could say anything she wanted, but now that comes in complete sentences and much clearer.  We have many of the words that you expect from 3K, both good and bad, but we are taking it in stride.

 We started out with a birthday party at 3K with all of the kids. 

Baba, who is quickly becoming known as "Daddy",

 and I took muffins, fruit, and Capri Suns to school for everyone. 

All of the kids sang "Happy Birthday" to Sophie, and then

Mrs. Cindy got a big birthday hug before everyone went back to the class.

 

There, Sophie's class sang to her again,

Mrs. Cindy gave Sophie birthday "licks",

and Sophie got to sit in Mrs. Cindy's chair and

open the birthday gift of her choice.

She had a great time, and all of the kids were so sweet!

After a birthday dinner of Sophie's favorites,

fried chicken, corn on the cob, rice, and butter beans,

Sophie opened the rest of her gifts.

She loves music, so she was very excited about the

keyboard that Nana and Pawpaw gave her.

She also loves to play in the water and sand, so

this water/sand table was a big hit too!

We wound up the birthday celebrations with a Kai Lan

pool party with friends and family.  Everyone had a great time,

and we appreciate everyone making this birthday such a special one!
