'Raffe Cake

Ladybug turns THREE on Monday. She's getting old. All she wanted for her birthday was a 'raffe cake and a baby swing. "I get baby swing. I say Thank You." "I eat 'raffe cake my birthday party." We are so fortunate to know the family that Ladybug used to live with. We are more fortunate that they were willing to make the trek from their non-Austin home to ours in south Austin. And we are always fortunate to have Auntie Shannon in our lives.

So a wading pool, sandbox, and slip and slide later, we managed to celebrate being three in style. Bug ate her pizza only as a means to the end: Giraffe Cake. She wouldn't blow out her own candles, but certainly had no problems eating the cake.

Just before bed, she loved playing with the baby swing. And yes, she did say thank you.
