Clara turned 3 this week! In her mind, she has been 3 for four months, but the actual birthday finally arrived. There was much celebration. In the morning, several of her good friends (and their moms) came over for the kid party. I took a long lunch to see the 2nd half of the festivities.
Jill made this yummy cake and cupcake spread. She also made chocolate chip cookies and oatmeal cookies which were shared with friends and neighbors at the evening open house party. And Jill's Mom and Dad did a story and games for the kid party, plus they did a ton of cleaning and served food at the open house. We'd have been crazy to attempt the 2-party day without them.
I am already starting to feel like Steve Martin in Father of the Bride. It's so hard to experience the kids' big events and document/prepare for them also. I like the enthralled looks on all the kids faces for this photo.
Turning 3 was no ordinary milestone for Clara. It also meant that she could join a preschool class (that has been in session for 2 weeks already). Her monkey backpack has 3 bottles of glue for upcoming crafts.
Mommy and Janny accompanied Clara for the 3 block hike to school. Clara was so excited that she ate even less breakfast than normal. Somehow she doesn't starve.
The verdict for preschool: Clara loves it. And what is not to love? There are lots of other kids, toys, and even tricycles. Her teacher's comment was that Clara is not shy.
