My daughter turns three a mere 10 days after my son turned 5. We have a busy week of birthday celebrations in an attempt give each child the attention and recognition they need for their big day. And, in the same week, Heather and I celebrate our anniversary. It's busy to say the least.
When we found out we were having a boy, we bought things that were blue and went with a sports theme for Elijah. After all, he will be a professional athlete so we should just probably get him ready early! When Heather was pregnant with Savannah I was unaware of the gender of our second baby - and that was my choice. I forced Heather and all those in the know to keep it quiet. I wanted to be surprised. So, we bought "gender neutral" colors and had a "gender neutral" theme, animals.
Now that Savannah is turning three we understand that she loves the color pink and babies, dolls, and Jessie from Toy Story. She plays dress up no more than six minutes after she wakes up in the morning and will continue to wow us with her fashion shows throughout much of the day. She will often ask me, "do I look pretty Daddy?" She is a princess.
