Our daughter was born three years ago today, July 24th, and she has thrilled us every moment since.

Fresh fruit: About 3 days old

And yes, we got rid of the pacifier last week after she had become quite capable of elaborate arguments and negotiating the terms and hours of the day she was allowed to use it.

    I think I’ve been in denial…

    Happy Birthday cutie! My how you’ve grown. I remember getting the call from your dad the day you were born. He sounded so happy. I still have that message on my machine. You have provided both your parents with so much joy, laughter, and love. I was so delighted to get to meet you last summer (I’m that lady who is having way too much fun at the reunion). I hope I don’t have to wait too much longer before I see you again. Clearly you are growing up quickly. I don’t want to find that you are the one meeting me at the airport! Ack! Give your parents a big hug for me and enjoy being 3. That is a wonderful age. :)

    Love,
    Ellen

    Same birthday as my husband’s! Leos are great :-)

    And I’m relieved to know that I can put off the paci battle a while longer… negotiations are simply not possible with a 23-month old…
