Jillian turned three last week. She was very excited, even though it was a low key birthday. Her teacher emailed me to say that they do a celebration first thing in the morning and that I was to bring in a COLLAGE OF PICTURES OF J. Seriously? A craft project?! Work has been busy and I do not have time for crafts. But I bucked the eff up and went to get craft supplies - poster board and a sharpie. Except there was only black poster board at the local CVS so I had to get glitter pens. $15 later I was armed to make the damn collage. And I did make it, at the very last minute.
It was worth it I suppose. J was very excited to see the collage and tell her classmates about the pictures. She told them that every picture of her when she was "boring." (She meant born, even though they were pictures of her "through the ages" as I was instructed to use). Then we ate munchkins. Good times all around.
Later, when we were home, we had some ice cream cones. She asked me if I like "messy faces" or "clean faces." I said clean faces (duh) and then she said "then don't look at me" and dug into the ice cream cone.
Fish update - I didn't buy the new fish. Instead, I told her that one fish got sick and was gone. She took it well. I didn't ask if it was "Mommy" or "Jillian." A week or so later, she informed me that the fish in the bowl was "Jillian." I guess that means "Mommy" bit it.
I am totally boring lately, but wanted to post some pictures of J's birthday.

Um, hello, cutest pictures ever.
SO F-IN CUTE!!!
That's hilarious about the "messy face." And I love that you had to make a collage to bring to school. Your own homework. That's fun - I bet she'll always remember it! I want cake now.
I don't just want cake, I want PINK cake. So ridiculously cute. J's gotten so big. Give that little one a huge birthday hug and kiss from me.
Dude, I had been waiting with bated breath for the fish update, so thanks for posting that. I'm glad she took it OK, and it probably shows some sort of good self-preservation instinct that she decided the Jillian fish lived.
I too have been dying for an update on the fish. Now I want pictures of the collage!!
