Moving on... Lotus' third birthday
On September 11th our little princess turned three. This year in an effort to make things easier, we decided to have a little kid birthday and a separate small dinner for a few family members.
This of course made things more difficult and twice the work, but c'est la vie.
Lotus has made some adorable friends over the past year and we really wanted to have an event all the kids could enjoy and with any luck their parents as well. Since Lotus was 18 months old she been taking gymnastics class at Acrosports. We love the place. She has the best time, is learning some stuff and just gets bolder and braver with every class. When we realized they hosted birthday parties, we booked it immediately. Our plan was to have a great party for Lotus, have the kids run around like crazy, feed them and send them home ready to pass out. I think we were pretty successful.
Lotus and the other kids had a blast. I have to say our kiddo is a pretty good party host. She greeted all her guests, made sure everyone was having fun and introduced kids that didn't know each other. She loved having the whole floor for just her and her friends.
The cutest moment was went went into the other room for pizza and cake. Seeing Lotus at the head of the table surrounded by her wonderful friends created a pretty warm and fuzzy feeling. The best was when we sang her happy birthday and she pointed at herself and sang "happy birthday, to me".
