We had a special family celebration on Emma's actual birthday. Started the day off with some yummy dunkin donuts for breakfast. Then we gave Emma her birthday presents from us- her 1st tricycle and a sand/water table! She is obsessed with the tricycle, or as she calls it, her "bike". After breakfast Jared took her out front to try it out. She kind of figured out pedaling, but still needed a little extra help from daddy. The trike has a retro style bell and streamers on it that add to the fun. If you are looking for a good, durable tricycle, I would definitely recommend this one. It is a Schwinn roadster. I read a lot of reviews of different ones before purchasing one, because we have a lot of kids and I want things to last through them all. Or at least a couple of them.
So then we all headed out to the McWane Center. This was our first time going, and I thought it would be a fun, (air-conditioned) activity for the whole family. Emma had a blast. She played with the bubbles and in the playground area. We all really loved the lower level with the fish and the sharks and sting rays that you could touch. David was pretty fascinated with the sharks. We were running out of time, so we made a quick stop by the dinosaurs and then went upstairs to let her play with some of the fun things up there- giant piano and blocks, etc. Ethan was amazing the entire time- stayed in the stroller and just chilled. Poor David (he's a mama's boy) wanted to be held for the last half. It was great fun, though.
The rest of the day we let Emma play with her sand table and watch Tinkerbell. What a fun 3rd birthday! We love our Emma so much, and I am very thankful for her. She has this joy and happiness inside her that I know must be a very special gift from God. I love her giggles and her dimples and her bright, contagious smile. She makes us laugh everyday. She makes my heart happy. :)
