my favorites from a very special wedding...

'you say it's your birthday??'

... It's my birthday too, yeah!!! 

Yep, that's right. The big double 3 is finally here & I can't believe it. Nate took the day off and did EVERYTHING I normally do. (driving kids to and from school, arranging playdates, he baked a mighty fine cake, etc...) He was exhausted by early afternoon... I had to laugh.

RE-POST.....

I think she finally gets it?!?!?!

Oh gosh I can't believe I'm actually writing about this. My feelings are all over the place, but I'm happy that this time it might actually work. (my fingers are permanently crossed!)

Here's the story:

Maci has been a thumbsucker since..... forever! I admit, I didn't mind it at first... I assumed she'd stop on her own. After all, Kira sucked her thumb for a short time when she was a baby and she stopped on her own, so I was convinced Maci would do the same. Boy was I wrong! We've tried so many different things to try to get her to stop, but nothing has worked. Maci is now 4 and a half years old and her teeth are really suffering. So this morning I googled thumb sucking and came to this site. I didn't have to read her a thing!!! Maci took one look at the picture on the front page and she was cured! 

So I feel like crap for scaring her to make her stop, although it wasn't my intention.... ok, maybe a little. I'm also sad as this means she's officially a big girl. And I feel sort of bad, but I can't stop laughing at her reaction to the picture.  :)))))

Here's what she saw:

Here's the reaction:

Poor little baby..... am I a jerk?!
