My Littlest is 3

 March 4, 2010 Brand new to the world. I feel so blessed to have 3 happy healthy little ones. I never imagined myself with 3 kids but all the work is so worth it. This third little girl has added an amazing dynamic to our family. I'm not sure how to describe it at this point but my heart just wants to burst when these 3 girls play together.

 March 2011- celebrating being one year old!

 March 2012- had to cancel her 2nd birthday party b/c she was sick.

 March 3, 2013- this is Cassidy in her first outfit of her 3rd birthday. And it was also before she got bonked in the face with the baby gate  (by accident) by one of her sisters.

This is her second out fit at her third birthday party. (There's a big red welt on the left side of her face.)

Bye bye baby stage. She's been done with diapers for over a year now and she doesn't want to wear pullups at naptime anymore. She still naps but when she doesn't it's not a huge deal. I can register her in a swim class and she can go in the water BY HERSELF!!!! In April she starts a gymnastics class that is NOT parent participation. And we've registered her in preschool for September.
I have to say 2 (the age) was exhausting. I felt too old to do it this third time. It literally felt like it was going to kill me some days! I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I know it's not going to get easier but there's something "easier" when your kids get more independent. I'm looking forward to a time when all 3 can do everything in the bathroom on their own, or when I can go into the bathroom and shut the door! (That happens right?) I'm looking forward to the removal of baby gates and electrical covers. The thought of getting rid of all our sippy cups and valves makes me all giddy!!! I hate washing those suckers, especially after you've found one hidden under something that's been rotting away for a few days. Gross. But at the same time I'm savouring these days where someone climbs into my lap to read, and loving the little arms thrown around me when I come home. Looking forward to happy happy days. (and planning some Disney fun in the future sometime...)
