She's been into Pirates...so we had a Pirate Birthday Party! ARRGH!
We had friends, pizza, pirate ships, pirate hats, pirate...moustaches?
A Puzzle Treasure Hunt! The kids helped put together a map, leading to the ultimate treasure of Birthday Cupcakes!
The map
The kids paraded together as they went on the treasure hunt. Some things are different, obviously, when E moves in a group. She is guarded when it comes to how she interacts in a large, moving group. E tends to hang back--mainly b/c she doesn't want to get knocked over and hurt. This is good news, I think...she does succeed in what the group does, just more slowly. Both E and Viv were knocked over in a stampede once they found the X that marked the spot--BUT--they were up and running after that. Overall, the kids are very conscious of E's differences and are very accepting--but I guess some considerations are forgotten in the heat of the moment. Reality checks sometimes suck--but I can only hope that everyone had a good time at the party.

After that, yard playtime

Thank you to all our family and friends for helping us enjoy ringing in Viv's third year!

She seems so grown up for a 3 year old, I guess I never paid attention to her age, because I would have pegged her for 4 or so. But, I think E seems older too.
Maybe it's that whole time standing still thing.
Looks like a great party & that the girls had a blast.
Happy 3rd birthday Vivian!!
Happy Birthday Vivian!
