We celebrated Cassidy’s third birthday with a dinosaur princess theme (she loves both of them!) It was SO hot that day we stayed inside for presents and cupcakes, but did take the party outside for a little bit at the end. The kids enjoyed the 3 (yes 3!) power wheels Andy has found and fixed from the dump. We had so much fun with friends and family and Cassidy felt very special.

Cassidy also had her 3yr checkup last week. Height is 36.61″ (40%) and weight is 31lb (54%). She is very much three, one minute she’ll be the sweetest little girl giving you a kiss and bringing a book to read in your lap. A split second later she’s whining and screaming that Ben is sitting on HER side of the couch. My head spins! She’s very smart, counts to 10 and can count to 20 with help. Counting is her favorite (next to reading). She also enjoys “Lego girlfriends” (haha, the Lego Friends geared towards little girls), rubber duckies, sparkly shoes when she’s not barefoot and wooey dresses. She’s WAY more girly that I am, I need to learn how to do more with her hair than just a pony tail. Still adores her big brother (most of the time) and the two of them are good buddies, playing together and making up adventures.

She had been sitting in a booster/highchair we strapped to the regular kitchen chairs and I took it down to wash. I never put it back in so she’s been at the kitchen table like a big girl for a week or two. She’s a pretty good eater but is very slow so I just have to plan on giving her extra time to get through things. Her favorites are blueberries, cheese, waffles with whipped cream and cheese burgers.

She’s perfectly herself, Cassidy Joy!
