Our baby is THREE today. (Some were a bit confused when I posted my last post a bit early. I was going for better early than never.) So far, we have celebrated with a play group party and muffins at school. We are going to have a whirlwind of a weekend celebrating both G's big day and Halloween. Since my birthday normally falls during spring break, I have always enjoyed an extended birthday celebration and hope she does too.
She lights up any room she enters. She is funny, loving, empathetic, intelligent and independent. We thank God every day that she came into our world. I can't help but think of those who gave up so much, who made a very selfless decision, a very difficult decision, a life-altering decision three years ago. We pray every night for the special people in Ethiopia.
On a lighter note, this past week, many of my friends posted on their blogs about both a Sesame Street video and 9 year old Willow Smith's video about brown girls loving their beautiful brown hair. We have been watching the videos often, complete with singing, hip shaking and head whipping. So have the kids...(ha ha...just seeing if you are paying attention.)
Thanks to my friend, Katie, over at Happy Girl Hair for posting a bit about them. She also put up another link to an article on NPR. Check out this NPR post. You can see the videos in both spots.
