Emma Grace is 3!!!

Let me start by saying I know its been way too long since we have updated the blog. The year has gotten off to a great start and we are all doing very well! Now on to the important stuff! Today is Emma Grace's 3rd Birthday! I can hardly believe my baby is 3. It just doesn't seem right! My parents always told me that time flies and your children grow up before you know it...well they were right! It seems like just yesterday that we were bringing her home from the hospital. Emma Grace has always liked sleeping in her crib and never tried to climb out of it...for that reason we have put off getting her a big girl bed. Well today is the day! She went to school this morning and we took the crib down and put her new bed and bedding up. When she came home she was very excited and said she loves it...we will see if she loves to sleep in it! For some reason the fact that she is 3 has been very emotional for me. I think it is a definate turning point when a toddler becomes a child. I stood in her room last night and cried because I knew that I wouldn't ever see her sleeping in her crib again (I'm crying right now just typing that)! However, there are advanages of having a 3 year old. She can potty by herself, wash her on hands, somewhat dress herself. All things that come in handy! We are leaving Sunday to go to the beach for a couple of days...when we return I will post pictures of her birthday party and our trip on our flickr site...Be sure to check them out!
