On Tuesday Johanna turned 3 years old. She has grown so much this year and is regularly thought to be her older sister's twin...though they are 3 years and 3 months apart in age!
Unfortunately, we were not able to spend much of the day with her, but instead she was thoroughly entertained at Granny Seely's house. Mommy and Daddy took big sister Adria to the chilren's hospital and hour and a half away for appointments that took most the day.
Still, we did get to spend time together in the evening and sing Happy Birthday...and of course open a present. It was Ariel and Eric dolls from The Little Mermaid, which she had picked out at the store a week ago and has been asking for since. For now, Ariel is by far her favorite Disney princess.
I did feel somewhat guilty that I could not be with her more today. Especially since I had a little Ariel party planned for her last weekend but put it off twice - once for my Grandma's funeral and a second time because Johanna was very sick.
I know she still feels loved and had a special day with Granny. Plus, she really enjoyed the special treat of fresh raspberries that I brought home for her tonight.
- Last year, I shared this post about our ADVENTUROUS LITTLE GIRL on her birthday.
- We had success at POTTY TRAINING this year.
- Jo-Jo almost knocked out her sister's tooth with JUST A LITTLE DRAMA
- We briefly thought Johanna would NEED SURGERY
- There were many precious moments that I WANT TO REMEMBER
For now, I'd like to take some time to share some of favorite photo memories of Johanna over this past year. One of the prominent memories I will hold this year is our little girl wearing Princess Anna's dress from Frozen...basically every day until it's now pretty tattered. Of course older sister is Elsa.
