So this is two months later, but September 14, 2010 McKinley turned 3!! We had a little Princess lunch with some 3 year-olds in the neighborhood - Sophie, Anna, Saphirah and Kayla. They all dressed as princesses, ate lunch, danced and played. McKinley wanted a castle cake, but after a debacle involving the use of baking mix instead of cake flour, the cake was an crown, in case you cannot tell.
McKinley is still a pretty happy girl, but she is getting old enough to instigate little arguments with Jefferson, so some days she is just not her sunny self. I can't complain, though - she skipped any sort of terrible twos or 18 month craziness and is already 3! At 3 she grudgingly gave up the binky, and now spends most nights sleeping on the boys' room floor since her comfort crutch has disappeared. McKinley is a great big sister, always including Reagan and helping her have fun being a princess, a mom, a puppy, or whatever the pretend game of the day is.
Some things McKinley loves these days include:
- Jefferson's friend Tommy
- Jewelry, shoes, purses, phones, gowns, lip gloss
- Reagan joining her in nursery
- Spaghetti and macaroni and cheese
- Running fast and showing off her muscles
- Helping Mom make dinner or dessert
- Going to Church - "Why isn't it time for Church yet!"
- Talking about who she will marry - "Since you are married to Daddy, maybe I can marry Grandpa. That would be a good idea."
