3 Years Old!

3/18/12: Austyn just turned 3 and had a fun party with lots of her friends! We played games and Austyn celebrated all week long! She's growing up fast - too fast sometimes!

A few of her favorites right now include:
Food: Mac-n-cheese (or any cheese for that matter)
Colors: Pink & purple
Words/Phrases: Actually, I'm thinking, yessiree, mama...excuse me, I'm being patient, and no!
Things to do: Reading books (and picking out new books at the library), playing mommy & baby (she's always the mommy), ballet, picking out her own clothes (always skirts & dresses~ sometimes at the same time), having a "special treat" after school (a few m&m's, chocolate chips or a hershey kiss), playing on the swings

A cute story: We were at the grocery store about a week ago and I accidentally bumped into Nathan as we were paying for our groceries. Austyn said to me... mommy look at my eyes. I know you didn't mean to hurt daddy, now look at my eyes - give daddy a gently touch (and she put my hand on Nathan to touch him gently)!... She did this (very seriously) for a few minutes and we couldn't stop giggling. Her teachers do this at school when someone gets hurt. It was definitely a moment to remember!

Here are some pictures from her party...

cupcakes are yummy!
