![[ February 4 ]](tricycle.thumb.jpg) | |
A tricycle for my third birthday! And it only took a couple of trips 'round the driveway to figure out how to pedal and get about all by myself. Aren't I cute? |
![[ January 27 ]](http://lightfantastic.org/gallery/albums/200101/28cake.thumb.jpg) | |
"Happy birthday to you!" I love that song. Even though it was my third birthday, I wished a happy birthday to everyone I met. |
![[ January 27 ]](http://lightfantastic.org/gallery/albums/200101/28cake2.thumb.jpg) | |
"I did it, I did it!" The first birthday candles I've blown out on my own. I even made a wish, but of course, I can't tell you what it was. |
![[ January 27 ]](http://lightfantastic.org/gallery/albums/200101/28unwrap.thumb.jpg) | |
You know, unwrapping presents is getting kind of old. Now I can do it with only one hand. |
![[ January 27 ]](http://lightfantastic.org/gallery/albums/200101/28kitchen.thumb.jpg) | |
Nothing's more delicious than an imaginary breakfast cooked up on your very own Fisher Price stove. |
![[ January 23 ]](http://lightfantastic.org/gallery/albums/200101/23pooh.thumb.jpg) | |
On the cusp of my third birthday, I finally settle on my first "lovie," a plush Winnie the Pooh puppet. Now I can't sleep without him! |
![[ January 21 ]](http://lightfantastic.org/gallery/albums/200101/21beach2.thumb.jpg) | |
Our first day at the beach in some time, and I spent most of it in the sand. Sand castles are great. |
