Happy Birthday Meena!

Last Friday(January 11) my little girl turned 4 years old! We celebrated by going out to dinner at an Italian Restaurant. At this lovely Italian restaurant, my son and daughter enjoyed their favorite meal-chicken nuggets! Yes, Meena is madly in love with chicken nuggets. She will eat them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, if I allowed her. Meena loves anything to do with fairies and things that fly so I made butterfly cookies for the kids to decorate instead of a cake. Meena does not like cake, so this seemed like a good option. They had a good time decorating and eating all the candy off the cookies!

On another note, Meena is becoming more independent by the day! She wants to do what she wants, when she wants! It doesn't matter if I am in the middle of baking or cooking, when she wants a shower, she goes right upstairs and takes a shower! Such a polar opposite of my first child! On Sunday while I was in the shower, she decided she wanted to take a bath. She went into the hallway bathroom and proceeded to get in the tub and start filling up the tub! Luckily, I was getting out of the shower and realized she was missing and got her out before anything happened. Whew!!! (She definitely has a thing about being clean!!!)  Another FUN thing Meena has learned is to cut her own hair! We have a lovely "do" without any bangs now!!!! Luckily hair grows and hers grows very quickly..........

I will post pictures of our recent adventures soon. Until next time.......... Colleen
