Peyton is 3!

And does she know it! Three weeks after she turned two she became a big sister and she has grown up so much since then. She loves to take care of her babies, read books, sing, make picnics and we are continually amazed at her imagination. Since starting her sports class at school she is getting really good at throwing and kicking. She is also becoming a master negotiator for everything from "one more book" before bed or "how about we do this instead and do that later". For her birthday we brought in a treat to school on Friday and they made her a birthday crown. Saturday some of her friends came over and we had a Dora party. It has been raining FOREVER so we were stuck inside. It worked out, though. We glued faces on their backpacks, played musical stars, pin the tail on swiper and went on a Star Adventure. For the adventure they had to find something in the bag to wake up a sleeping bear, go through a tunnel, past the grumpy old troll (Greg) to make it to the pinata. Luckily our 8 year old neighbor came and lent her strength to get that pinata open. We ate mexican and had cupcakes. The kids also did a lot of running and screeching. It was fun! She got lots of great gifts including hair bows, a Dora doll, Lite Brite, coloring books and a Dora bat and ball. Her present from us was her big bed and new flower sheets and wall decals. Pics to come of her in her princess and a pea bed, as I like to call it. You'll see why!
