Three Year Check-Up
Lillian had her three year check-up this week. She weighs in at 30.4 lbs and is 37 inches tall. She is still plotting right along her growth curve.
At this appointment, Lillian had her vision checked, stood on the big kid scale and got her blood pressure taken with a tiny blood pressure cuff.

Third birthday party
Lillian had her third birthday party over the weekend. The theme was gumballs. Lillian's grandparents, cousins and even a couple of friends were able to join her this year. All the food had to be round to go with the gumball theme: pineapple and teriyaki meatballs, fresh mozzarella balls, grapes, blueberries, cantaloupe and watermelon balls, olives, macadamia nuts and root vegetable chips.
We had been to her cousin's second birthday party at the beginning of the month and her friend's third birthday party the weekend before so by the time Lillian's party rollearound, she was ready. Leading up to her party if you asked her what she wanted, all Lillian would say was that she wanted cake. But when she saw the presents piled up, she announced to everyone, "I want to open presents now!" We told her to go round everyone up and while she did that, her friend Lily decided to help with the unwrapping! Lillian got some really neat stuff. After the presents, it was time for cake and ice cream. I made the cake and Joe made the ice cream - bubble gum flavor.
Once all the kids had a sugar rush, it was time for the pinata. I was not going to get her a pinata but I found some on clearance and decided to try it. I am happy to report that no one was injured, other than the poor fish pinata. Lillian took a few swings at it but mostly her two older cousins handled that part. The pinata did not want to break so some cutting had to be done and then all the stuffing came out - super bouncy balls, packs of candy-coated kisses and lots and lots of confetti.
I believe a fun time was had by the children and adults alike. Happy Birthday Lillian!
Here is Lillian looking out the window as the first guests arrive:
Wearing her Super Lillian cape I made her:

Surrounded by all her presents:

Birthday Girl
was woken up with a bed full of balloons:
and then got to unwrap her presents from mommy & daddy - (well not really unwrap as we do not use wrapping paper anymore): purple princess dress-up clothes, a children's encyclopedia, pom poms, wooden dress up dolls and a wooden birthday cake set.

The last night as a two year-old
Lillian did several big girl things today - she swung on the rope swing over the foam pit, walked across the plank on the balance beam and apologized to a little girl for snatching a ball during gym class, played with the big kids (at least 6 years old) at the local jumping place, went to her room to calm down when she was angry, turned off her science computer when told it was time for nap and got herself her own drink of water when she was thirsty. Of course all this was mixed in with her usual stubborn and controlling personality but overall she behaved like a big girl.
On her last day as a two year-old, Lillian got treated to a mini toddler spa trip. It was just a regular bath and hair washing but with the added twist of her own pink hair towel and ballet class as she got her pajamas on.

Pink Walls
Pink is Lillian's favorite color. The other day she asked me why her bedroom walls are green. I told her that we did not know if she was going to be a boy or girl and thought that a light green would be a good color for the walls. She then said to me, "I don't like the green walls. I want pink paint." I don't know where she learned that you can change the wall color - we have not done any painting since she was born and have not talked about painting anything.
