Madeleine turned 3 on June 21st. We didn't do anything huge for it. I brought some treats and some toys to the park with some friends. Cory and I took her to the beach, which is something she asks for everyday now. "Beach?" is repeated over and over all day. For presents we bought her a trike, it has a handle that comes out of the back of it so I can push her and she doesn't have to pedal if she doesn't want to. I actually enjoy it more than the stroller as the handle is actually tall enough for me. With money from both grandparents we got her a train track and set it up on the little table in the family room. This is a great gift for me cause she loves to play with it and I can actually get dinner done on some nights.
I also gave Madeleine her second hair cut ever, she didn't sit very well but at least I don't have to pin her down and brush out the tangles every morning and night.
We are just staying in El Segundo for the 4th. Cory will most likely have to work (as 2 of the key holders were let go recently). So Madeleine and I will go to the block party where she can ride her new trike in the street with the other kids and have water fights and play in the bounce house. Cory will be home in time for fireworks, so we'll watch those all together. So over all it should be a quiet holiday.
