Happy Birthday, Little Beans

My baby turned three yesterday. She had a lovely two day celebration, and there are still more presents to open. Yesterday started with presents in the morning, then a party at school featuring mom-made muffins, home for pizza and Nemo. Today 10 of her friends came over to celebrate. The party reminded me of the old "Thursday morning playgroup" get togethers we used to have when Sam was little. I got to meet all her school chums and their parents. Many of the kids were attending their first real birthday party. It was a lot of fun for everyone. No tantrums, all the parents were nice and sociable, Athena played nice -- all good.

We've been talking a lot lately about the day she came out of mommy's tummy (Sam said when he came out he was thinking he wished he was still swimming around in there -- I'm sure he's right). Here is my recollection of it at the time.
