Happy Birthday Baby Girl

Okay so today my baby girl is 3!. She awoke at 7:30 this morning to a fully decked out vanity set in her room. Chris and I had to cave on it because she told basically everyone she met that she wanted a vanity set. We held firm on no makeup just a pink sparkly brush and some hello kitty lip balm. First thing out of her lips was "Oh no- I told santa to bring me this .Oh I forgot he's gonna bring presents to Nana's house so I get 2 vanity sets!" (not quite right little lady)

Well- we are so proud of our Casey Jane. We love the fact that every MDO or preschool program has labeled her as "spirited" (for those non parents readers out there that is code for pain in the booty). Chris and I (although we wrestle with it) know that UNBREAKABLE (e.g blue track suit) spirit will take you far in life. We are picturing you as a sassy tough DA or a sassy tough actress that plays a DA on Law & Order. I love the fact that you insist on wearing a skirt with your soccer jersey but still are a little spitfire on the field. We are starting to see what an empathetic little girl you are- just recently Casey was given some princess stickers but wouldn't take one until she made sure all her classmates got one. You are so popular without even caring/trying. At your brother' s dicso you had at least 3 (7 year olds) trying to dance with you- one even gave you a candy bar which you took and then said " I don't like boys." Since coming to England- you and your brother have become quite a team. You still fight but I am starting to see how close you both are to each other.
3 years has flown by but I still remember Dec 7, 2005 in a hospital In Highland Park, IL during a snowstorm (got to love chicago)you came into out lives and we are so blessed to have you !
