My little princess is 3!!!

Caroline turned 3 years old on Monday. Over the weekend we had her birthday party with some friends from her class at school. We had Cinderella come to the party and the girls LOVED it. They all arrived dressed up as their favorite princess. Anna chose Pocohantas (is she a princess???) and Caroline chose Cinderella, of course. The kids had a great time. We enjoyed having all of Caroline's grandparents at the party, including Gary's mom from South Dakota.

Suddenly, out of the clear blue, on Friday Caroline decided to be potty trained. SHe has been pretty frustrating lately choosing not to potty train but she has been completely aware of what she is doing in her pull-ups. Friday was the magic and we are THRILLED. She has even worn "big-girl" panties to school with no accidents so far.

Caroline had her 3-year check up yesterday. She was not too thrilled about being there at first because Anna kept telling her she had to get a shot. She brightened up for Dr. Larkin and told him about her party, meeting Cinderella and most importantly that she was wearing panties. She told him she had been wearing them "for a long time". So funny. She weighs 30 pounds and is 38 inches tall. This puts her square in the 50th percentile. This is an improvement over the 25th percentile which is where she was when she had her heart problems. Overall, a great check up. And, I earned mommy of the year for asking for the flu mist rather than an injection.

Caroline is a great little girl. Funny every day, sassy every day and I love her so much!!!
