My Princess Turns 3

My little Lexi bug turned 3 years old! Where does the time go? She is our spoiled little princess, but  you wouldn't know it because she is so polite, caring and loving. Don't get me wrong for a second, girl can drive mommy a little crazy. However, if I can describe her in one word it would
be sensational. She is THAT child that will light up a room with her charm. For her birthday we hosted a party at a local go-cart and family fun center. We only invited a handful of guest. I had envisioned a very large blow out party but decided last minute that a small party with a handful of guest would be best so we could better budget for more important things we have in store for her this year like her dancing, swimming and her soccer classes. We baked about a million cupcakes, and the majority of them I donated to a local shelter that hosts women and children who are victims of domestic violence. I think that meant so much more to me than hosting a "big" party. I am a big fan of cake decor and fondant cakes and I was extremely disappointed in the birthday cake we purchased. I think we were overcharged and the taste was awful. Dont get me wrong, I loved the look. The barbie on top of the cake was a Latina barbie which we thought was so neat however,  If I learned anything about this party and my son's party back in September. I really want to start making my own fondant cakes.

Our Buzzy Bee

Caution, this is one of those  mommy "bragging" posts. Our little buzzy bee is now 2 and a half years old. It use to be that we kept track of her age with month-days ( like birthdays). For example, 8 months old, 15 months, 26 months. I just used my fingers and it appears that she is 30 months old. After a certain point,  you just stop counting, and that's when you know you no longer have a little baby. If could describe her in one word, it would be dazzling. She is that little girl that brightens the room when she walks in. She is extremely freindly, sociable,  and seeks out the crowd in a playground. She doesn't care how old the kids are, she wants to be your friend.  I often have to tell her to leave the older kids alone! I don't think there is a day where she doesn't make us laugh. She learns new sayings very day. Her latest saying, " do you want to play games"? I know it sounds simple to the average person, but when those little new sentences come out we are shocked with laughter. Also, she almost has the ABC's song down. Right now we are working on counting in Spanish.
And finally, she has potty training down. Not perfect of course, she has her little secret accidents, but I am proud to report the potty training challenges are almost a pain of the past! Her favorite gadget is  my Iphone. She loves it so much she wakes up with it, thanks to all the awesome toddler freindly apps. So there she goes, my little buzzy buzzy bee. In this photo she is wearing her Bee costume, she wanted to wear it to the playground, and I say, why not?
