Amara celebrates her 3rd Birthday!

My baby turned 3.  She's officially what the parenting magazines refer to as a "preschooler."  That's just crazy.  

I decided to interview my very talkative Amara, and here are some of her responses.

Favorites:

Color- pink

food- Japanese food

thing- an animal

animal- giraffe

dinosaur- long neck

book- dinosaur sticker book (thanks Aunt Doralee!)

Tell me a joke:

Knock knock.

Whos there?

Ummm, Japanese food.

Japanese food who?

Japanese food in a flower.

Dislikes:

food- onion

Amara is an absolute joy to have in our family!  She gives us so many reasons to smile.  She's still a thumb-sucker and she is very attached to her ratty old blue blanky she's embraced since birth.  Steve noticed how big Amara's "sucked-on" thumb is compared to her other one.  Instead of discouraging her from thumb-sucking, he encourages her to suck the other thumb.  Amara's birthday fell on a Sunday this year.  She had a little celebration here at home and one later when we visited family in Utah Valley.  She is so very loved.  

Below is a smilebox collage I made of her on her birthday.
