| Isn't she lovely? |
My beautiful princess has just turned three! *applause* She has long told me her wish list for her birthday. Despite her trademark fickle-mindedness, she ultimately still reverted back to her original idea after a few changes of mind. She wanted to celebrate her birthday at Fidgets, having three cupcakes instead of a birthday cake (cos she's 3 years old) and eating the cookie with the colorful sprinkles. I bought her a new set of princess accessories and she totally adored them.

| Jayna: "This is my house!" |
Even though, it is still very tough to be Jayna's main-caregiver, I celebrate the little areas of growth that I see in her. She is now able to play by herself even without Joash's company half the time! Hallelujah! Her willingness to be by herself is not something I'll ever take for granted since it's so difficult for her to reach this stage.
Her sense of direction is still pretty poor though, getting lost at one point and needing a staff to carry her back to me. (I was watching over Jaide cos Joshua had to do his marking and was not free to help out with the kids.)
Needless to say, Joash "disappeared" to play with the other kids right from the start and we only saw him when he was hungry/thirsty or needed the toilet as the tap was too high up for him to reach. As for Jaide, I was very happy that she could explore the baby area by herself as long as I was within sight. (More about her in the next post.)
Below is a video of Jayna happily going down the slide with her foil balloon in hand. Not the safest thing to do, but I'd decided not to nag at her on the day of her birthday celebration as long as she didn't hurt herself or other kids.
