Practically Perfect in Every Way!

Livi may give Mary Poppins a run for her money. This little girl is practically perfect in every way and she just turned THREE!!!! We were so lucky to have Grandma Cindi and Great Grandma here to celebrate with us. We had just spent the week in Germany, so her B-day was pretty low key, but she was as happy as could be. Livi LOVES birthdays. It is her favorite game to play. She wraps presents, makes cakes, sing me happy birthday with a little cha cha cha at the end, makes me blow out pretend candles, and then claps. But my favorite is when she hands me the "presents" to open. She says "wait mom, let me get the camera ready. okay go ahead." Then she takes pictures with her toy camera while I open the presents. She is so much fun!

So for her birthday she had a few requests. The only present she really wanted was a Big lollipop. I can handle that (much better than her Christmas list...a real pony)! For Breakfast, she wanted Donuts, she wanted a tinkerbelle cake, balloons, and pink ice cream with cones. We spent the day in Cambridge. and on the way home I asked what she wanted for her birthday dinner. I was expecting her to say chicken nuggets or pizza. But she requested pink soup. pink soup? I said I couldn't make pink soup and so she decided on carrot soup instead. I have no idea where she go this from, but I couldn't disappoint the birthday girl. We got home at about 5:00pm and I quickly threw together some homemade chicken noodle soup with LOTS of carrots. I was nervous that she wouldn't like it, but it was a huge hit! She said "This is the most delicious Carrot birthday soup ever!" She now asks for carrot soup every day. :)

At 3 years old Livi is very sweet and sensitive. She adores her daddy and cries if he even looks at her cross. She loves to sing and dance. She also has a great imagination and I love to listen to her pretend play. The only food she really eats is cereal, chicken nuggets, and orange french fries (sweet potato fries).

Livi is such a joy and we are so lucky to have her in our family. We love you llittle Livi Loo!!!Happy Birthday!!!

Now that she is 3, Livi can take the toddler ballet class on base. She was so excited for weeks to start ballet. She loved her first class and did such a great job following the teacher. She was really fun to watch.
