mila, this is three

oh mila. you really are your own little person. such a spunky personality. you are a true rascally character, who keeps us on our toes. you're silly and a joker and we LOVE you. we're learning new things about you everyday. you love to sing and dance...and it was in dance class i learned how much you enjoy being "taught." i watched you in your first lesson and thought you had grown up over night. you listened quietly to all the instruction and followed so well with wide eyes and an eager heart. the first thing you said when you woke on your birthday was "i'm a big girl now, i go to classroom." you are so excited about preschool.
you love being a younger sister and look up to evia with such affection, copying her every move (and in that same role defying her every chance you get)...aww sisters.
you are also mama's girly-girl. you love a good princess dress, princess song, princess movie and you think mama's purse is your own. choosing a lipstick color, out of my things, is like second nature to you. and if mama has a pedicure your toes must match!
adult food is what you choose. pizza, you'll eat it, but not your favorite, macaroni and cheese, your sister never says no. you do. salmon one of your favorites and when i asked you what your birthday dinner should be you suggested salad (your favorite) and nuts. you are a strange child, but we LOVE it.
a kitty is your alter ego and has been since you were two. we never did figure out how you knew so well the nuances of a feline, gesturing and meowing before you could even form sentences. your kitty cat ways continued and when i asked what you wanted the theme to be for your party, a "purple kitty-cat princess party" was your answer. since mama loves party planning, this was a fun idea to let the creative juices flow.
we love you mila-kitty-cat and we had so much fun celebrating you!!

mama made purple kitty stuffies as favors for the wee-est party guests

loved opening the front door to this scene

meow mix and princess cheddar fishies

vintage kitty stickers made perfect cupcake toppers


it rained before the party, filled it with 3 inches of water and cleaning residue...but papa to the rescue
the sun shone bright, at party time

kids had a great time in the bounce house! ayinny and isei, bouncing away




we had some serious family fun inside together.




the actual birthday started with sprinkle pancakes and a birthday song
we went to the animal shelter for some serious kitty loving. we met lots of nice kitties, but snow and lilly were especially fun - sister kitties, meeting sister kitties




her birthday present request (that she has been reminding me of for a good two months)..a pink bathing suit
requested cake, chocolate with strawberries (made my favorite zucchini chocolate chip cake with cinnamon and cloves - amazing!)
