We had a fun morning and got to play a bit before we left for school. I ate my breakfast, drank my milk, got dressed, brushed my hair and teeth and we packed up for school. Because it was my birthday, we got to take a treat to share with my friends. I told mom I wanted ice cream, so we took Vanilla ice cream - my favorite! I wore a cute dress and the necklace that Ruthie gave me at Marie's baby shower on Saturday. I got lots of compliments and got a kick out of showing people how old I was by holding up my fingers. Touching my pinkie and thumb to hold up three fingers was kind of tricky, so I figured out that it's easier to touch my pointer to my thumb and that still shows three!
Birthday girl at breakfast:
Mom picked me up a little early so we could spend some time together. I told her on the way home that I wanted to check to see if the red Mustang was in the driveway because if it was, that meant that daddy was home :) Sure enough, when we pulled into the driveway, daddy was walking back from the mailbox, so I knew he was home! Mom got me out of the car and I ran to meet daddy at the door. There were a TON of packages on the front porch! You'd think it was someone's birthday or something... several were for me and a few were for mommy.
I got a package from Grandma and Grandpa Coble - THREE new books that I'm very excited to read. We got to read one of them at bedtime, but didn't have time for the other two. Tomorrow, maybe! The other one for me was from my Great Grandma Jean! I was a little shy opening the presents, but you can see how much I loved them!
Awesome PJ's that say "I Love my Mom and Dad!"
And my favorite, a quilt that Great Grandma made for me that has Eeyore on it!!! I took it to bed with me tonight and I really love it. I'm so lucky to know THREE of my great grandparents!!!
While mom and dad got changed to go out to dinner, they let me open the rest of the presents from them! Mom didn't have her camera for the first two - a new fleece coat that has my initial on it! I love it and wore it to open the rest of my gifts :) Next was something called Tangoes! It's kind of like a puzzle where I have to put blocks on the paper to make the shapes. May be a bit beyond my age, but mom thinks I can at least try it!
The next gift was a US Map puzzle! I love puzzles and mom and dad put up a big map on the wall before we went to Seattle so I could tell where people live. It really helps when daddy's traveling and I can also pretty much point to places on the map where my friends live, like Seattle, Portland, and Raleigh. Mom keeps meaning to print out pictures of people and put them on the map so I know where everyone is - one of these days when things aren't so hectic!
This is a play sushi set! How cool is that??? I have all the "regular" foods like apples and a ton of veggies for my kitchen, but now I can make sushi too :)
Last, but certainly not least, my new Nook! It's like mommy's iPod, but bigger, and all mine (though daddy might want to use it from time to time)! I got to use Starfall on it and now I can navigate my own letters all by myself. How cool! I can even play Angry Birds on it :)
After we opened everything, we headed out to dinner. We decided to go to Dogfish - mom and dad really like it there and I love the mac and cheese :) I had a great dinner and got a brownie sundae when I was done! Dad says I ate a whole pound of brownie - no wonder I had a hard time going to bed tonight!
Yum! I got into my PJ's pretty well, but stalled big time when it came to going to sleep. I've already done my nightly cry (happens at least once a night and I'm not usually fully awake, but can't get back to sleep until mom or dad actually wake me up). I guess I just wanted to experience more of my birthday!
Can't wait for my party on Saturday to celebrate with even more of my friends and family!!!
Hugs to all and Happy Birthday to Me!!!

Happy Birthday! We have that puzzle and Caleb really likes putting it together and pointing out where people we know live. I am sure Sydney will love doing the same. They also love Starfall and Angry Birds! How fun to be able to be able to play/learn on her own Nook. Very cool. Looks like she had a great bday!
