I still may have trouble holding up three fingers and remembering how old I am, but there is no doubt about it - I AM 3! The great part about being born near a holiday is that your birthday can sometimes span an entire weekend, which it did! We had a relaxing Memorial Day holiday (when I got dressed in the morning, I shuffled through my T-shirt drawer looking specifically for my American flag shirt, unprovoked) and because Daddy was off from work we celebrated my birthday. My real birthday is today, Tuesday but it was nice that we could gather in the afternoon and I could open my presents and play with them a day before my birthday. I was so excited for my presents this year, I kept gasping with excitement. When I came out onto the screened porch I was overjoyed to see my very own lawnmower. Then, everything was "cool" upon unveiling the wrapping paper - I got a parking garage, sunglasses and a book (I did not find that cool, in fact I liked it so much after I unwrapped it I tossed it on the floor behind me). I got my very own computer to use now from Grammie and Gramps, plus Grammie made me my birthday shirt. Good luck getting me to take a decent posed picture in it though. When I saw Mimi and Papa today on the phone they told me that a gift for me was on it's way after they sang me happy birthday. It's kind of fun to spread out the gift fun!
After Memorial Day dinner, I got to see the birthday cake that Mommy made for me! And wow, was it cool! It was a fast airplane cake, just like the airplanes we saw at the airshow! Daddy pretended like he was starting the engines when he lit the candles and I had a great time blowing them out after Mommy, Daddy and Cora sang to me! I had a great birthday, and I was so excited that now I get to have my own toy in my room - my parking garage!!!
