We have been celebrating Ruby's 3rd birthday the whole last part of this week. Thursday night we had a family party, complete with the birthday song, cake and presents. Then, Friday night, we had a princess party. Four little princesses were here to help celebrate, all gussied up in their puffy princess dresses and accessories. Again, we had the birthday song, cupcakes and presents. I just love birthdays and all the fun and excitement that comes with them.
Ruby has been anticipating her birthday almost the whole month of August. It doesn't help that we have so many family birthdays in August. She would ask, "When is my birfday coming mommy?", and I would have to try and explain to her that she had weeks and/or days until her birthday. So hard for a 3 year old to comprehend. She would tell me about how she wanted a pink cake with pink icing, and wanted it to be a princess cake. She had such pure excitement and joy when she finally got to have cupcakes and candles all for her. She was given so many fun princess gifts. She is set for a while.
It's just so hard to believe it was 3 yrs ago that she was my sweet little baby. I loved getting to snuggle with her and give her kisses on her little fingers and toes!! The joy of motherhood, getting to reminisce about fond memories with your sweet babies. I look forward to seeing her grow up and go through life's adventures... so much to look forward to!!
