My baby girl is 3.
I’m still not sure how that number is accurate considering how tiny she is.
I guess what she lacks in size she makes up for in attitude (and bad language).
I’ve joked that she is just like her dad, but really this kid is all me (except for the clothes, I’m not quite that fancy).
Might have something to do with the fact that she spends 99.56% of her time with me.
Everyday is an adventure with this kid.
She dislikes reading most of the time but will never hesitate to sing or dance.
When she senses trouble coming she plugs her ears which of course means that we start laughing and the timeout never happens.
One shoe is always better than two.
Lipgloss is her best friend and wild hair defines her style.
To my kid, on her 3rd birthday, I say I love you.
I mustache you to continue to be who you are, so that I may continue to blog about it.
For you, my dear, are part of what makes this blog so awesome.
Bloggers…don’t miss my post this week over at Business 2 Blogger which is tips for bloggers on what to put on their contact page.

She’s on my top toddler list for sure. I love how ornery she is, and how she does it with style. Happy Birthday funny girl!
Julie recently posted..To honor and be honored
How could she not be on the top of the toddler list? Well, unless it was a list of behaved toddlers. Then she would be dead last.

Oh that one is a HANDFUL! Love love love.
And good luck momma. That’s all I’m saying.
Well, that and invest in Diageo stock (makers of Smirnoff).
I think I need a lot of their stock. And their vodka.
Happy birthday, sweetie!

marie recently posted..Original Content
That is one of my favorite pictures and I’m sure one day she will be so unhappy I took it but it’s priceless.
Perhaps for this next year you can teach her the beauty of the lip LINER
Happy 3rd birthday!!

Maybe I can fly you to Reno to teach her instead. I only know how to apply chapstick.

I love her fashion sense – looks like you have a triple threat on your hands, she’s a singer/dancer, she’s got the fashion AND the lip gloss, can’t forget the lip gloss!
Coffee Lovin’ Mom recently posted..Dijon, France – Self-Guided Walking Tour
Can never, ever forget the lipgloss.
I love watching her Shake her Groove Thing…
Especially when she got a hold of that microphone.
“Round and Round” indeed.
Happy birthday to your baby girl.
Who’s not so baby anymore.

LOVE that you have a girly girl – she will always make sure you are presentable when you are too old to care
If by presentable you mean wearing 5 different layers of unmatched clothes.
Oh, she’s so adorable!! Happy Birthday to your sweet girl!! 3!! That’s BIG!

She loves to groove. And to apply lipgloss.
She is so cute, I just want to squish her!
I love her fashion sense. She loves to sing and dance more than read? She might just be the next American Idol.
The Pepperrific Life recently posted..When Counting Sheep Doesn’t Count
She refuses to sit down and listen to a book but she never passes up dancing.
That last picture is awesome! We call our two-year-old Mason the Menace. It is the most fitting description of preschoolers, lol.
Laural Out Loud recently posted..Apparently I Have Eyeball Issues
Menace is a good nickname for toddlers.
Happy birthday, little one! She’s such a cutie. And has so MUCH personality. Which is a wonderful trait.
