Happy 3rd Birthday
Today Elliana turns 3 years old! Yesterday she had her whole day planned out. First, the zoo to ride the carousel and train, then at 3:00 have friends over for cake, finally, steak for dinner. However, this morning she woke up and I asked her if she still wanted to go to the zoo. She said she wanted to go to the mall, not the zoo. So after repeatedly asking her, she kept saying the mall was the place for a birthday girl to have some real fun. So to the mall we headed. It is not the shopping that is the big draw, but the rides. Yes, we played on the rides and then she actually got to see that if you put money in, they move. She chose three to ride for real. Next we headed to the pretzel shop to have a little snack. Elliana was very sad to leave the mall, but nap time was calling her home. Elliana and Andy are both napping now. Elliana is looking forward to her cake with orange writing, orange is the girls favorite color.
Andy is one and half now too. He loves to do whatever Elliana is doing and tries very hard to keep up. They both have their check-ups on Sept. 1, so look for an update then.
