Birthday Girl!

My baby girl turns 3 years old on Monday, January 21, 2008. I can't believe it! To celebrate, we are going to Hong Kong Disney. She is so excited about seeing Mickey Mouse. I really hope this birthday is just as wonderful to her as she is to us.

Here's a little walk down memory lane. The first picture is from her actual birth day.



These pictures were taken on her 1st birthday. I couldn't choose one to put on the blog.




This picture is from her 2nd birthday.



And, next week I'll have pictures from her 3rd birthday.

Now, I have a question for you. Danae wants to be a big girl and wear fingernail polish and lip gloss. There is no way she'll have any of it any time soon. But, I was wondering, ladies, when did you start wearing nail polish? If you have daughters, when did you let them wear it or when will you? I don't remember when I first used nail polish. I remember that I could only have pale colors.

I was such a tomboy when I was little that I don't remember fingernail polish at all. But if I had a daughter and she was avid about having her nails painted and glossy lips I would probably let her wear a pale nail polish and strawberry chap stick for her 3rd birthday party. Then back to reality no make up until your 15! ,l;l

I have very girly-girl and I have allowed her to wear polish and lip gloss(light colors) since she was about 3. She got a mani/pedi set this Christmas, something for us to do together and it contains very light colors that come off in the shower or peels off. Oh ya it keeps her out of my stuff. I hope Danae has a wonderful birthday.

Happy Birthday Danae. Bridget I don't remember when my parents let me wear finger nail polish or lip gloss, but I can promise you it was not at 3 years old. I would let her wear some cherry chapstick and your friend's suggestion of the nail polish that comes off in the shower sounds good.

Well I hope you all enjoy your trip to Disney World and Danae enjoys her birthday.

I do not remember when I wore polish but I do let my goddaughter wear it. She is only 5.

I don't remember being able to wear anything until I was in the double digits. I use to sneak and wear makeup in the 5th grade because my little hispanic friend wore everything. I still remember her name. HAPPY B-DAY DANAE. Sorry so late : )

Happy belated birthday Danae. I don't remember being able to wear any polish or lip gloss except clear and knowing my mom I was probably 16.

With my daughter, who is 2, I let her use the fruit smelling chapping stick (no color) and I do not plan on allowing her to wear anything but clear when she is probably in her late teens.

From what I remember reading some time ago, most fingernail polishes have a chemical in it that is harmful. I don't remember which polishes but I am sure you can google the info.

Motherhood

Yesterday, I had something to do so the kids went to their old sitter's house for a few hours. We got home later than intended so I knew I would be rushing to prepare dinner, get them bathed, and settled for the night. Here's what really happened. As soon as we entered the house, Brayden started running around saying "Mommy, I have to pee". So we rush into the bathroom and as soon as his pants are unbuttoned, he starts peeing on himself. I clean him up and decide they can play in the tub while I start preparing dinner. As soon as we get to the kitchen, Danica throws up all over me, herself, and the floor. So, I take her to our bathroom and bathe her. Before I can get her pj's buttoned up, Brayden starts screaming "I have to pee!" Because he just went all over the bathroom floor, I'm a little perplexed. I run to their bathroom anyway only to find out he didn't have to pee, he had to poop and had already dropped two bombs in the bathtub where his s...

In Memory...

Staff Sergeant Javares Washington was killed in Kuwait. He was my cousin. My cousin died yesterday...in Kuwait...and I'm so very sad. I feel like I can't breathe. My heart is broken. We grew up like siblings. His mom had him at a very young age. She wasn't ready to take care of him. So, he lived with us for years. He was like my brother. And now, I'm in shock. I'm going to miss him so much. The military has only said he was in a government vehicle on patrol and it flipped over. We don't know what caused the flip or anything. I want to go home. He was married and had two children. His son, Jayden, is 6 years old and looks just like him. His daughter, Tristin, is 9 months old. My heart is broken.

Love at First Sight

I am absolutely in love with this little girl. Danica was born with a heart murmur but we found out today it's no longer there. We are so happy with this little perfect being and can't wait to get to know her more.
