Maggie’s 3rd
Oct 15th, 2009 by Bethany
Maggie had her 3rd birthday a couple weeks back. It was a transition of a few days for her.
She had a family party (she got her requested mac&cheese, olives, and broccoli) two days in advance,
then spent the day of in her car seat on our roadtrip to Utah,
and proceeded to spend several days insisting that she was still two. I’d say “You’re three now, you already had your birthday.” She’d reply “NO! Nuhnuhnuhnuh no. Not yet. I had a party and SOON I’ll be three.” We tried to sing Happy Birthday to her and she screamed “Not YET!” We had cupcakes for her and she said “just a little longer.” My parents called on the evening of her birthday and she cried and screamed and wouldn’t be consoled when they started to sing to her.
Finally, about a week later, we got a second set of cupcakes and she consented to finally let us sing to her and she blew out the candles and reconciled herself (mostly) to the idea of being three. Now she agrees that she’s three most days.
I love Maggie. I’m grateful for her every day.
Is it just me, or does Maggie look a lot like Tina, especially in that first picture?
Congrats. Love you all.
Wait. As in ME?! Rachel are you saying Maggie looks like ME?! If it is, Thank you! That is the nicest thing. 1.) You were thinking of me and 2.) I love Maggie! She is the coolest kid.
