ahhhh 3

So, she has done it. Our precious tiny little baby has grown up.... believe that I'll be saying that at every birthday!! Yesterday was filled with fun. Lots of Maeve's friends and family phoned and sang happy birthday. Auntie Erin (as always) was awesome in her video message that she sent for Maeve. Both of the girls LOVED it! When Maeve woke up she seemed surprised, then quickly informed us that it was infact her birthday! She also told us she doesn't get a soother anymore... more on that one later!!! We phoned our dear Auntie Sara and wished her a lovely birthday. She has just moved with her husband brad and baby jakers, to Montreal. They had just gotten there last week and are still unpacking.. I know the feeling! So, big birthday wishes for Sara and my admiration for another family who has a big move with a wee one. Good job jakers, come see Auntie Vashti soon, she loves you the best anyway!
So, yesterday Maeve spent most of her time in and out of her gown. She sang with her microphone/cd player, opened ALL of the stickers, read/played her princess's book over and over, carried her purse and tried on her snappy tartan blazer. She'll be wearing one of the millions of gorgeous tops she received as gifts today! So onto the sootherness. Maeve sacrificed two soothers last night and I'm hoping (michael really) we can remove the last one tonight.. She is a big girl and doesn't need it but boy does she love her soothers! But then, I think aobut how early Maeve stopped wearing diapers, kicked the bottle habit, then te sippy cup habit... and the fact that she hasn't worn a nighttime diaper since well before we came to Jolly Ole.. and think, maybe she can hang on to this one last vice... I somehow suspect that the way to kick the soothers is for the house to go cold turkey and poor poor Madigan!
