What have you been up to little girl? Growing up and TURNING THREE!!!
First trip to the dentist - How many parents take their children OUT of the dentist kicking and screaming? This one! Parker didn't want to leave - I wouldn't either! It was an indoor play haven for kids - fish tank, buckets of toys, iPads, and movies playing, with a little dentist check-up thrown in. Crocodile tears and screaming "I WANNA STAY" was how we made our grand exit.
First haircut - Just a little trim to keep the baby curls. She was a trooper even though cautious. I think she was a little disappointed that our stylist "Kitty Kat" (Parker's name for Kayleigh the first time she met her, and must have forgotten) was actually a human and not, well a cat!
Happy third birthday Princess Parker! As with most birthdays, Parker got more of a birthday week!
Treats and celebration at day care - In true princess fashion, Parker got to wear her handmade birthday crown while her friends serenaded her with the birthday song. Then it was princess treats all around!
Celebration with Grammie and Papa - Grammie and Papa made the trip west to SPOIL this three year old! Starting with a trip to the toy store...
Then a trip to the coast. Rogue Brewery for a quick PBJ and on to the Oregon Coast Aquarium. Despite a sandal issue (someone didn't like the rocks in her feet - guess who got to carry her...a lot?) she loved seeing, oohing and aahing all that the aquarium had to offer, especially the seal who loved getting a pet through the glass. Her favorite...the sharks, and "fishing" with papa.
Then another trip to the coast. Playing in the sand with her new sand pail, running from the waves, and chasing seagulls. Her favorite...drinking juice while watching and talking to the sea lions in the bay.
Celebration at her Princess birthday party - Party at the carousel! Eight little princesses, knights and parents came to help celebrate turning three. Lots of running, giggles, and "horsey rides" were in store for these sweet kiddos. Her favorite...everything!
Screaming and running between two dad's!
(Disclaimer: she was showing us her chipped nail...NOT what she thought of the party!)
Following the party was another get together with family and friends at home. MORE princess fun and hot dogs on a stick.
A few of our favorite things:
Hobbies: Dressing up as a "beautiful princess", bubbles, drawing, playing pretend shopping, dressing up, iPad games, watching movies, oh and dressing up.
Food: hot dogs on a stick (not a corn dog...no no. Just a hot dog.), strawberries, PBJ's, applesauce in a pouch, cantaloupe
Songs: Pea Pod Press, Rockabilly Hop, Let it Go (from Frozen...I now understand what it feels like with Frozen overload!!), Old McDonald, B.I.N.G.O.
Parker-ism's
"Let's blow this popsicle stand."
"I need to rest. I'm downloading."
"I love the monkey" (whispered every time after washing her hands in hon0r of the monkey hanging on the towel bar. Yes, it's a little creepy.)
Parker Poses (that's right, in front of the fridge)
Just being Parker
One More Warner is three years old!
