Leah turned three about two weeks ago, and over Thanksgiving we had a little birthday celebration for her since we had the benefit of out-of-town family being around. We celebrated at the toddler-revered chocolate cafe, which has a giant play structure in the theme of a cocoa tree and, of course, a great deal of chocolate. And, at Leah's request, there was a dragon cake. A PURPLE dragon cake.
It was fun to watch Leah play the hostess; we read this birthday book a bazillion times before the big day, and the book highlights birthday manners. ("Oh, thank you for this gift, let me put it at the present table and we can go play." Rather than, "Mine, mine! All these presents are MINE!") Speaking of presents, she got all kinds of new dress-up clothes, which she changes into every afternoon the minute we get home.
Someone ELSE had a special birthday recently too...tune in next time for the special "Ryan is thirty" post! :)
