Happy Birthday Parker!
For Parker's 3rd birthday we had a small party on Friday after her birthday. Her friend Anna from Mrs. Lynne's came over for the celebration.

Parker loved her new fancy clothing. She got a princess tutu, red cowgirl boots, monogramed purse and jewelry!

Parker knew that in order to have a big girl birthday she had to give up the pacifier. We had been talking about it for quite some time and the day finally came! She was all for it and didn't get upset as you can tell from the video. Everyone has been wanting an update to see how she is doing and she is doing great. She will ask for it ever so often at bedtime but I remind she sent it to the angels. The first night she asked for it and then said that I let it go. I'm not where she gets most of what she says. In this picture, Clif gave her one last taste before it was gone forever. He wanted to make sure she understood.
After the pacifier lift off, Parker got her butterfly wings and butterfly princess doll. It is a catepillar on one side and turns into a doll on the other side. It was supposed to symbolize her becoming a big girl and she liked the idea because she knows that catepillars become butterflys or so she tells me.
She loved her wings so much she wore them to Pizza Inn for dinner. She selected her birthday meal.
The next night her birthday present arrived. Clif and I got her a bicycle. We first just gave her the helmet and pads but no bike. We asked her why she need a helmet and she said so she could ride her bike. We reminded her that she didn't have a bike. Then she looked at us and said "You're going to get me one". It was too funny!
She did pretty good and fell a few times when she hit the curb but the helmet and pads kept her safe. Unfortunately, now Bennett wants to ride so we push him around in the little cozy coupe car.
It was a wonderful birthday week! We wish y'all were here with us to celebrate!
