Tegan's 3rd Birthday!

I don't know how this happened so fast, but my sweet little princess Tegan has turned 3!  Time goes too fast.  

Tegan's birthday was on the same day as her first day of pre-school!  She loved it.  The only hard part was getting Neil out of the classroom because he wanted to stay too and he doesn't start kindergarten till this week.  Tegan gave me a hug and said, "Bye mom, see you soon."  And a good report when I picked her up. =)

 Since Tegan turned three I will say 3 things about Tegan:

1. She loves girly things like Hello Kitty, the color pink, dolls, princesses, necklaces, tea parties and unlike the boys she is concerned about what she wears and needs to be included in this decision making process to avoid a meltdown.
2. Tegan loves her baby brother and always wants to hold him and help take care of him.  It is very sweet.  Of course I am always right there with my hands on the baby as when she is holding him.
3. Tegan is cute.  I love her curly blonde hair, smiles and her high pitched giggle.

It is fun to have a girl.  She is much higher maintenance at the moment than the boys and can be quite emotional.  But she is sweet and fun.  I love reading her princess stories, seeing her play girly things with friends, and I love being able to shop in the girl section!  I love seeing her excitement about little things.  She gets excited when her little brother smiles or when she sees a butterfly.  She got really excited about all her presents.
Tegan's cake this year was and angel food cake smothered in pink whipping cream and strawberries.

 Tegan's favorite birthday presents were not from me...  clothes and a little Hello Kitty doll.  She loved this little Hello Kitty fan that grandma got her and Hello Kitty backpack.

And Auntie Kristina saved me because all Tegan has been asking for about a month now was a pink dolphin for her birthday.  I couldn't find one anywhere, so Auntie ordered one online for her.  Saved the day.  The first thing she asked me when I told her it was her birthday was where is my pink dolphin?  I'll have to post a picture of her with it once I get a better picture.
