Looking back at pictures and videos from a year ago, I can't believe how much she has changed. She is 100% her own person and growing up faster than I want to admit. A year ago, she was still sort of a baby. Now she is potty trained, sleeps in a bed, can put on her own shoes, and has become a big sister. . . and has living abroad to add to her list of life experiences. She's a big girl, and wants you to know it.
Her birthday was all about her . . . which is much like most days, actually, except with less eye-rolling (on our part) and much more acquiescing. Opa and Oma (aka Grandpa and Grandma Heinrichs) were also here to help celebrate, which doubled the amount of attention showered upon her. A 3-year-old's dream.

Back to the zoo!  |
Since October, Elsa has been talking about the caterpillar birthday cake she wanted. For most of those months, she wanted it to be purple. On the morning of her birthday, she changed her mind and decided it should be black with pink stripes. I think she liked the purple one anyway.
At the end of the day, after the birthday princess was asleep and Erik and I snuck out for a very rare date (thanks R &K!), we clinked glasses and celebrated 3 years of parenthood . . . and then stumbled home out of exhaustion after an hour.
