The Magic continues...

Sheeeee's 3! This year Corinne wanted a Halloween party for her birthday. I finally figured out that she wanted to dress up for her big day, so we planned a Tinkerbell/Peter Pan party with fairies and pirates. Sadly, it was a high of 40, so our day at the park turned into many fairies and mates running around our house on a chilly afternoon. Luckily we had the foresight to plan some outdoor activities and arranged for a fire pit outside. Oozy, gooey marsh mellows hanging off sticks over a fire was the perfect kid magnet.

She has begun the art of negotiation. My favorite is instead of a "5 minutes!" countdown, she says, "How 'bout 2 minutes, Mama?!" No problem. We'll take your suggestion. She started in the next class at daycare, the '3's. So far, so good. Corinne takes change in stride. For the first week she really hung back and watched how the clock works. Once she figures that out, she runs the clock. Or tries to.

We were so busy parenting and playing host and hostess that we didn't take any still photos. I did manage a clip of the birthday moment.
