Mia woke up yesterday at 5:30 a.m. Her first words to Mike and I as we rushed into her room were, "Mommy, I throwed up." Yes, that's how our girl spent the morning of her 3rd birthday. We cleaned her up and I put her in bed with me, but not too much later she threw up in my bed as well. Fortunately a couple hours later she was fine, so her party was on.
At about 3, Mike's family and some of our friends came over to celebrate with us. It was a beautiful day so we set up the bar on the deck and the kids were able to play outside while the grown-ups watched the UK game. Not too long into the party Mia stepped on a massive splinter. It was in so deeply her skin was puckered. We debated taking her to the urgent care center, but ultimately decided to put antibacterial ointment on it and see how she did. That seemed like a great time to open presents and have cake, so she was running around again in no time!
Jimi, Jaime, Chloe (Mia's idol) and James stayed long after everyone left. The kids played so well together! At one point Mia and Chloe said they were ready to put their pjs on, so I got nightgowns for them. The next thing we knew, it got very quiet. The "big people" went back to our bedroom to find all three kids snuggled up in bed, watching a movie. It was so cute! When Chloe learned she was going to have to head home she was so sad she cried. She wanted to stay the night with Mia. We decided we'll have a sleepover very soon.
Uncle Charlie took most of the birthday pictures. I took just a few at the end of the night, as well as a few videos. I'll post what I have now and hope for more later.
