Mia turned three yesterday. As I look back over the last three years it amazes me how long three years can be, as well as how quickly they can fly by. I don't feel like it has been that long since I left the workforce to stay home. Yet, some days seem to take every ounce of patience and creativity I can possibly muster and can seem to last a week.
I'm reminded of the song "Sunrise, Sunset". My mom used to sing that around the house, now I know what she was feeling as she sang it. Some mothers of older children would probably think it was too soon to look back in this manner, but a three year old is now really truly no longer a baby. Mia dresses herself, feeds herself, uses the bathroom (mostly - sometimes she prefers to use "nature"), and pretty much wants to do everything "BY MYSELF, MOMMY!" It's wonderful in SO many ways.
Happy Birthday, Mia Bug!

Happy Birthday Sweet Girl!! She looks so happy in all the pictures Laura, I can't imagine why you would ever use up all your patience ;) Our babies aren't babies anymore.
Happy Birthday Mia! Being a SAHM is hard work! Those little ones grow up fast, don't they?
