Sarah Turns Three

Sarah trying to work out how many fingers to hold up :)

Another milestone was reached this week with Sarah turning 3. It's hard to believe she has only been 2 all this time! I think the change that happens between two and three years old is a big one - from a baby to a child, and I have certainly enjoyed watching Sarah become a little girl. This little girl is different to her older sister - where Abigail loves pretty dresses and shoes, Sarah is my leggings and gumboots girl. My bugs and worms and geckos girl. My cheeky moody girl.

As for our birthday 'traditions', the day started with her opening presents. We then had playgroup, and as it was the last for the year it was a party (great timing!). A free Subway was enjoyed for lunch (members get a free meal on their birthday; it's free to sign up); both girls love Subway. After all the morning's party food they didn't eat much though! After a short afternoon rest we went to the park and then to the shops for ice creams. A swim in the pool with her new floatie backpack was next before doing the birthday cake and having our special dinner (I usually cook something European for special occasions as that's not our usual fare, so we had roast beef, roast sweet potato and zucchini, steamed parsnip and broccoli, and coleslaw), followed of course by eating of the cake. It was a lovely day and it all went well. Very thankful that Sarah is part of our family.
