Three Years Old!
Our 'baby' turned 3 yesterday! This is the first year she knew what it meant to have a birthday and wanted to wear her birthday hat. She knew she was going to be 3 and knew her birthday was in February. She really wanted..... ... a 'bue buttefly' birthday cake! We celebrated on the 16th rather than the 17th as Colin wasn't going to be home yesterday. He didn't get to see her until 10:00 pm when he came home and was able to give her a kiss on the cheek while she slept. We made our Wednesday coffee day into a little party for her and she had such a good time there was no time to nap.

More to come on Saturday when Aunt Lynne and Uncle Jim come to celebrate with us if she can hold out for 'bue buttefly' cake a bit longer. Happy Birth...
Back on track after almost 3 years!
It's been too long since my last post but by now I'm sure everybody who reads this blog has caught on that I'm just not as diligent in posting as I have been in the past. There have been a number of 'YAY' moments since December: 1. Isla is fully toilet trained; 2. Colin has a full time job; and 3. He has "officially" become a Permanent Resident (PR) as he now has his PR card! Isla ~~ Well, what can I say about the madam. She's the boss lady of the house ;-) She'll be 3 next week! Yes, THREE years old. Where has my baby gone? She is now fully toilet trained although we still have the odd accident but they are few and far between. She usually goes on her own but I like to 'assist' her just so I know she's fully cleaned up, if you know what I mean. Also, if she gets a bit preoccupied with what she is doing, I may need to remind her but overall she's done excellent. Thanks to Oma! Even at night time, no prob...
