Well, it happened. Olivia turned 3 without her mother killing her. Terrible Twos? Oh yeah! Olivia just continues to assert her independence with great phrases, like "I don't want to," "Wait a minute," and the classic 'I'll just ignore you and pretend you didn't tell me to do something.'
So, she springs out of all that in the third year, right? She did have quite the enjoyable birthday party. The yard has become "Playground Central" with a plastic fort, a swing set, a play house, a kid-sized picnic table, a small pool, and a little sandbox. And, for the birthday party, we added -- a Slip-N-Slide!
We started around 10 in the morning, and the little ones began trickling in. The slide into the pool was a big hit. The Slip-N-Slide was actually a gift from us, so she opened it and had a blast playing on it (especially once we coated it with baby oil). We BBQ'd hotdogs and hamburgers, and we had cake and cupcakes. Although it was a "No Gifts" party, our friends are all deaf and didn't hear that part. Thus, Olivia got a lot of cute gifts.

Then the *fearsome* 4s..when taking the slide off the bunkbed doesnt seem near as fun as jumping lol...finally the *fabulous* 5s..but I think that is just because they are finally in school and not underfoot all day lol...Anyway....looks like a great party...Give all big hugs from me!!
