She's 3-1/2!!

Molly's been milking this half birthday for all it's worth. We had lots of fun at play group on Friday. Molly had even wrapped herself two gifts and remembered them when her friends were here and opened them up. One was an old ring box with buttons in it and a note she asked me to write. The other was a wooden box with two hard candies that she's had kicking around since last summer -- candies that are a choking hazard so she's been saving them until she's old enough to be allowed to eat them. Her half birthday seemed like a good occasion to put her in a little danger so I let her go at it. It was a sticky and sugary experience and I think she had a good time.

Here's Molly on her actual half birthday, just as she chose to show up at the neighbors' house to swim in the kiddie pool.

And here are the sisters in their bunny towels after bath. (Kate actually smiles all the time now, but apparently the bunny towel just wasn't doing it for her).
