3 years old and an interview

It really is unbelievable how quick time is flying by and suddenly the old adage; "the years roll into one" takes on a new meaning as I look at this little girl who used to be my baby. My angelic happy baby. The baby that made me desperately want another little girl just like her because she was so lovely and calm and peaceful {muahahahaha oh how some things have changed - haha I kid. She is still my little ray of sunshine she's just simultaniously ridding that wave of toddlerhood and tantrums :) but oh how I love and adore her ;).

We had a lovely day on her 'day of days' filled with pom pom balls, kinda-gym, jelly beans and pretend cooking with real flour that lasted for over an hour (and took me almost an hour to clean up :). Usually I would give her playdoh for pretend cooking, but it was her birthday so I let her explore every creative avenue she could think of. And she loved it. Every minute. The hour long clean up was completely worth it :)


Here's a few thoughts on life from the birthday girl in the form of an interview........(black is me, and pink of course is Jamin :)

So there you have it. The world according to Jasmin at 3 years old. I really wish these answers could have captured her intonation and body language as she answered. Most of them had me laughing with the way she replied to them :)

I am blessed to be the mother of this girl and love watching her grow and seeing the person she is becoming. She is strong willed and soft and fiesty and lovely and funny and sweet and all the things a little girl should be. She absolutely loves babies (of any kind :) and generally showers her love on them and mothers them like a pro :)


Above all. She is LOVED and so very adored.

Happy birthday to my girl!!
