Can you believe it? A 3 year old Pip! This top picture is from later in the visit, but it is my favorite, so it’s at the top.

I dressed Piper Jane in her little 3 year old dress and took her to school. I am super bummed that her dress is too big. A lot too big. I ordered it on etsy from a frequent seller I buy from. Disappointing, but whatevs. She still looked edible.

I’m seriously proud that I finally learned how to frost cupcakes. Not quite billy’s, but sorta cute.

I was so happy to be able to throw Piper Jane a party at her school with all her school mates. The kids all had a great time and loved the party hats I made.  Here is Pippy making a mess with a cupcake. She doesn’t eat food, but it was still fun to see her with the cupcake and frosting.

Pip kept making sure I was still there. There was really a lot going on and she observed everything while keeping one eye on me all along.

After school we went back to Pip’s room to open presents. My sister, Jody, is in town so naturally Piper scored. Look at what my sister Erin made! It’s a felt board with felt stuff. Sorry, I don’t know what else to call these things. I guess I’ll just call it Piper’s new favorite toy. Look how interested she is! haha

Then of course the epic Dora doll. Jody could not get it out of the box fast enough. Piper Jane was falling apart to get her hands on miss Dora.

She decided to lay down (in the splits) to bond with her new dolly. Who lays down in the splits? Look close, she is literally resting her head on her own foot.

My friend Holly came along too and brought Piper this fairy doll. Holly started out being a client but has become one of my very best friends. She knows everything there is to know about Piper Jane, so I was so excited that she took the day off to meet her on her birthday. I wish I had a picture. I don’t have pictures of anything from today. Holly, all the cute kids from school (that I’m not sure would fly posting on my blob anyway), my cute goodie bags and food and a little more of the party hats. I made a million of them and had a complete ball doing it. Almost every single kid wanted to wear one, which I was surprised about.

I hung one of the party garlands that I made in Pip’s crib and she loooooved it. There was no theme to her party. Just bright colors. Just to make it easy.

To be honest, I’m exhausted. We are running a half marathon in the morning, and I hardly slept last night due to totally effing up the cupcakes and having to make an entire new batch. I am feeling guilty about not blogging a tribute to my sweetest nugget of an angel, but I am not feeling it at all right now. I’ve lost my muchness. Just know that she was the best. I love her. And she melts me more than ever. And she’s 3.

love
