Bailey Turned 3 Today!

My little girl turned 3 years old today. Wow, I do not know where the time went at all. Bailey is 3 going on 10 sometimes. What I mean by that is....she says the darnest things and acts sometimes so much bigger than what she is and what she comprehends amazes Jon and I. Her birthday started out with cinnamon rolls with birthday candles on a Princess plate and streamers on the chair and a Princess tin purse that she wanted with $3 inside. She was so excited this morning when she woke up to her birthday breakfast. Bailey is having a princess party with her little girlfriends this weekend. Bailey's grandma and papa are also visiting from Nebraska to see her and her new baby brother.

I kept a surprise from Bailey since Saturday. If any of you know me, I don't keep surprises very well. I have to tell someone about the surprise. Bailey is totally into firefighters, fire trucks, what kind of equipment firefighters use to fight fires, etc. I have a friend who works at the Bothell Fire Department, thank you Lisa who gave Bailey a tour of one of her most favorite things right now, the fire house where the firefighters hang out. Bailey's facination came from watching Fireproof with Daddy and Mommy. She only saw parts of this movie when Kirk Cameron fights the fires and started asking questions and would not stop. The Bothell Fire Department was so kind to Bailey. Bailey got a fire hat, coloring book, and a little Easter Bunny from Firefighter Mr. Kirk Robinson. Bailey told Kirk all about her Princess party she will be having this weekend and some. Firefighter Kirk made Bailey feel right at home at the fire department with letting her sit in a firetruck with him to showing her the lights on the truck and his firefighter gear, totally cool!

It was a lot to take in for a 3 year old, but she will be talking about this one for awhile. Thanks again to Bothell Fire Department. Bailey wants to be a firefighter when she grows up, is what she tells mommy and daddy. We would be more than proud of her if this is what she wants to do. Bailey knows about fire extinguishers, fire alarms in our house, and what to do in case of a fire. She crashed on the way home this evening due to no nap because the birthday day continued with dinner at her great grandma's house, opening presents, and eating cupcakes! I am attempting a Princess castle cake this weekend, stay tuned for pictures.
