Celebrating Kylie Continues

I wanted Kylie to have a great birthday, so that we did! She usually has OT on Fridays, but her OT could not be there, so we made a full day of celebrating Kylie :)

First off, we went to IHOP for breakfast, who doesn't love chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast. She insisted on getting fruit and sausage too...I know a ton of food for such a little girl...she only had a few bites of each and was done.

Did you know that they give you a scoop of ice cream at IHOP on your birthday! Even early in the morning too :) Once it started to melt, I told Kylie to just use her straw to drink it...like a milkshake. She thought this was a great idea!

I'm not sure why, but I didn't take pics when we met Matt for lunch at ChickFila...and yes, more ice cream there too!

We had planned to have Kylie give up the paci when she turned 3. We tried the week before, and let's just say it was not good...oh, not good at all. A friend suggested taking her to Build A Bear, and letting her pick out a friend to make and putting the paci inside. So she gets a new friend to take to bed, and her paci is still close by.

She loved it...not so much the attention and one on one with the sales associate, but was very excited to pick out some clothes and what animal she wanted to make.

Hmm...decisions, decisions.

There you have it...a cat, just like one that Grandma Nancy has, and his name is Dudley...remember that for later in the post.

Not so sure about stepping on the pedal to get him stuffed, so Dadda helped.

Getting her cat all ready to get his bath...she even stepped on the pedal too...much more fun when no one is watching.

Getting a birth certificate for her cat...

All done and ready to leave the mall

Kylie said she wanted to go to Cheddars for dinner, so she could get some worms...aka onion rings. She loves them! Just look at the giant stack they give you!

And of course, more ice cream!

At home getting ready for bed, and so excited to have her new cat!

Aww...getting him all set up to hang out for just a bit before bedtime.

So blogger keeps making my pic go sideways, and I can not get it straight..boo. Anyhow, it is the birth certificate for her cat from Build a Bear. His name is Dugley...remember, her granmda has a cat named Dudley...but when she first started saying his name..it always sounded like Dug-ley. So there you have it!

Yep, reading books in her closet with Dadda and Dugley.

Just a day after her birthday, we got to see Yo Gabba Gabba Live! I entered a pic of Kylie in her halloween costume, and we were one of two lucky winners...amazing, I know! She missed her nap to go, and I will add that it was quite loud at the show...like crazy loud for a kid's show, and she was not so happy with all the noise. By the time the show was nearly over...she was enjoying it more. Here is a pic of her in a shirt I made for her to wear...such a cute little pic of her...almost looks like she was posing :)

Playing with the toys she picked out at Toys r Us with the gift card her Aunt Jen sent her. Loves the shopping cart and cash register!

Here is a little video of Kylie at school on her special Day where we got to celebrate her birthday. It was snack time and everyone sang happy birthday to her. She is just so cute, and more so with her crown being a bit big on her too. Love you Kylie...3 yrs, wow!
