The day we've been talking about in our home for months now. I think it actually first came up after Bella's birthday (March) and hasn't stopped since then. She has been so excited for this day to come, literally she has asked about it daily. So she woke up this morning glassy eyed as if nothing were different. I sang to her, gave her loves, and celebrated her day, but it seemed I was celebrating on my own. Somehow we went from being very open and ecstatic about a birthday to very shy almost casual as if she didn't care. What?!? She's doing the same silly thing Tess does on her birthday, craving attention, but can't handle it at the same time. A mystery!
So I went with the punches. We had breakfast and then started decorating her birthday cake, which I must say she was thrilled about and told me it was the "beth cake ever!". Can't tell you what that did to my self-esteem...i love that girl. My mom called to wish her a happy birthday and she wouldn't talked to her only listen. Again WHAT?! That's all this girl does is talk, but apparently not on her day. Her Dad called, same treatment. The whole thing is too funny for me.
I'm not sure what I can share about this delightful girl that I have not already shared. She is certainly one of a kind. A little girl who can have me crying and laughing in the same breath.
- She does say "I love you" on a regular basis, but every now and then she will say, "I like you". I will always come back with "I love you Megan" and her response, "I like you a lot." Cracks me up every time.
- She changes her cloths all the time and when I ask her about it she says, "I just changed my mind."
- We trade off between swimming suits and ballerina outfits daily.
- One afternoon she got out a sucker and asked if she could eat it. I said "no" because there wasn't enough for everyone. She stopped and said, "I don't want one for everyone."

She's a doll. :D Happy Birthday to her!! :D That cake looked absolutely fantastic! I bet it tasted delicious.
You know, I think she is brilliant! She has already distinguished the subtle yet very poignant difference between love and like.
Yes, I have to and do love my children, husband, parents, etc but I also really like them and LIKING them is NOT a commandment :P
Some of my favorite posts ever of Jill's are the recent ones she did on Megan! What a personality - this girl will do great in life! I love her spunk!!
I was so glad to get to meet Miss Megan of 3 now!! What a mind in this little one--loved the glimpse into it today.
Happy Birthday Megan! We love you and miss you
She's all kinds of cute. I can totally relate to having birthday shyness, so I understand where she's coming from.
she is just adorable, and you have a gift to capture it. happy birthday
This certainly melts my heart, especially since one of mine is turning four soon, and it seems like yesterday he was turning three! Happy Birthday M!!!
happy birthday miss megan!!! she is so fun. a fireball of energy! i love the photos amy. the catch light is amazing! where did you take these? i'm so drawn to the third one. i love the light in her eyes and i just love the whole feel of the photo. almost as though you can tell that today (well yesterday) she really is three. you can see it. her expression looks a little more grown up.
i meant the last one not the third one...
"I don't want one for everyone". I love that. Truly. What a cute girl. My oldest (4) does that same getting worked up, then 100% shy and awkward. Must be a typical part of growing up.
These photos really capture something great. How strange to think that she could be 3 already...
