I'm Treeeeeeee!!!!

Yes, that’s right. Just a couple of days ago I celebrated my birthday. If you ask me how old I am, I will gladly tell you, “I’m treeeeee!” I am still working on getting the hang of holding three fingers up. It is hard to keep two of them down.

Mommy, daddy and I had a celebration for my birthday. We all gathered in the kitchen and made muffins. I put the puck-cake (that’s how I say cupcake) liners in and stirred the batter. I also put the edible Tom and Jerry stickers on the top after they were done. After dinner, which included some of my favorite foods, I got to open more presents. First Christmas, and now my birthday; I can really get use to receiving all of these presents. What holiday is next? :)

For my birthday I got a LeapFrog Word Whammer, two blue bouncy balls (just like the one Boots plays with in Dora the Explorer), some finger paints, and bubbles. I also got lots of e-cards and birthday wishes from my friends all over the world. Oh, and guess what? Daddy found out I share my birthday with people like Sir Isaac Newton and Louis Braille. Pretty good company, huh?

Celebrations

Happy New Year! Hard to believe that it is already 2007 and in just a couple of days I will be turning 3 ! ! ! ! We have had a week and a half full of celebrations. On Christmas Eve our family went around and gave out cookies and gifts to our neighbors. Christmas Day we had a wonderful time together as a family. I now have a new favorite word, “PRESENT”! Everything thing that is in a box I now refer to as a present. I enjoy getting and giving them, so it is fun.

Yesterday we were out in the village for their celebration of Tabaski. They slaughter sheep, prepare big meals and everyone gets dressed up. Here is a picture of me and a friend of mine all dressed up for the day. I thought about putting a picture of the sheep on my blog, but I was not sure if everyone would like to see four slaughtered sheep. It was a busy and eventful day, so at the end of the day daddy and I decided it was time to lay back for a little rest.
