My baby is 3--How could this happen?


I decided to take Allyson and her little friends (and their moms) to Chuckie Cheese on her birthday. Grandmother's surprise party was that night, so we went for lunch, also that is when all the rides are free! She ran around hopping on all the rides, but kept coming back for more pizza in between. By nighttime she had a pretty bad stomach ache--I think she ate about 4 pieces of pizza and a cupcake! I told the friends not to make a big deal about presents since Dollar store items are still exciting to her. I told my friend Mandi to get her Capri Suns and she would be the hit of the party. (She asked Santa for that and screamed with delight when he actually brought it!) I was right! She kissed and hugged those Capri Suns! She was even shaking at one point as she tried to open the next present--it was just too much excitement. Later that night we went to Grandmother's party and then to Nana's to have cake and open presents. She screamed and hugged each present and immediately put on the dress-up and started playing with her Dora scooter. She was so funny and cute all day--I think it was a success!

Oh, I miss you guys so much. I can't stand that she hardley knows me. That first picture of her looks a little like Melody as a toddler. Maybe she'll look like a Graham finally.

Oh man, she's cute. That's funny that 4 pieces of pizza and a cupcake make her sick. That's Ethan pretty much regular diet. Sounds like a fun day.

Man, she is hilarious. She is the age Jillian was when Jonny first met you and the kids. (I just know they won him over for me - especially Jillian singing "Doe, a Dear" for him!)

That Allyson is a caution, yes she is. And I remember thinking the same thing about you growing up. What happened to that little Amber that was so funny? Grew up to be mommy Amber that is so funny! Take the pictures, shoot the videos, write down the gems. Because our memories are not very long for details.
