She had requested MM pancakes so we had that and orange julius for her Birthday dinner. She also asked for a strawberry cake with sparkle frosting. After blowing out the candle, we opened her presents. She had a fun time and kind of understands what it means to have a birthday so she was excited to actually celebrate this evening.
Her long awaited Princess crown!
So proud!
Ooops! Exposed.
What it means to be three when you're Lexi Riddle:
You love your babies.
You love to swing outside and can swing by yourself.
You tell your mom no less than 3 times a day "You need to listen to me with your ears!"
You say "Thank you mom" without prompting and at the most appropriate times.
You tell anyone who will listen: "I'm wexis!"
"Mommy, you need to be nice to Daddy. Daddy, you be nice to Mommy. Mommy, be nice to Mia. Don't talk to Dadis like that. Mom, you need to talk nice to me. Stop talking like that!" are some of your favorite phrases.
You make up songs about everything in life from eating to walking around the house and happily sing them as you go about your daily tasks.
You know numbers 1-10 by sight.
You know all the letters of the alphabet by sight.
Some of your favorite songs are: The Wheels on the Bus, Albuquerque Turkey, Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam, The Bird Song (starts: whenever I hear the song of a bird), Itsy Bitsy Spider, Wise Man, Book of Mormon Stories, Old McDonald, and Popcorn Popping (that may not really be the title, but it starts: I looked out the window and what did I see...)
You can't live without your pink blanket, tools, stool or juice cup.
You often tell us, "That's baby Addie. She's a baby. Awww, cute."
We, of course, find all of this completely endearing!

What an adorable 3 year old! Her celebration looks like it was fun! We love the Princess Crown, the cake, the MM pancakes, the balloons and the "list". Here's to a happy year for a much-missed, growing up granddaughter!
