our baby is no longer a baby!!!!

Alas Paris turned four! I told her the night before on her birthday whatever she wants goes! She remembered that alright, she woke up and found me in the kitchen and told me she wanted her daddy up so she was going to go wake him....



Gosh he didn't like that too much he threw her off the first attempt but she continued till he had no choice but to get up! So as all of us are now walking into the kitchen i asked her what she wanted for breakfast, "anything you want you get!" well anyone who knows Paris well enough knows she said chocolate of some sort...well i was making her birthday cake and for breakfast she wanted to lick the bowl!
BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS! K breakfast of birthdays! mmmm good!!!! After breakfast we made our way to rachels to color my moms hair and witness the 2nd failed attempt to rachels breadmakin! haha
Paris played with Gabriel in the back and with Taylor on the video games! So super cute, think she needs a sibling?...
So here is the fun crazy part of our day...we head back to get the PARTY STARTED! It was a dance party, we had dance dance revolution out, balloons and what felt like a hundred kids. Plenty of food and a cake i made, it might of been one of the saddest cakes actually used at a bday party!
some pics of the party..
dance dance off with her cousin Paige



Paris knew how to work poor little Ikey, she sat in the stroller having him chauffeur her around, he pushed her all over the house!


MY BEAUTIFUL 4 YEAR OLD!

ALRIGHT PARTY OVER! NOW THIS ONE THIS ONE IS FOR ANNIE....So you can stop threatening paris that your gonna put diapers back on her! FYI she is terrified every time she sees one now! lol

Yes Paris has been sleeping with her parents for quite some time now. Life had been way too crazy for us and quite frankly i enjoyed Paris sleeping with me. But now, now its time for her to be on her own! For the past month we have been telling paris when she turns four, after her bday party she gets to sleep in her room in her own bed all by herself! She has been agreeing to do so and seemed almost excited to. Well time of truth...we laid her down, read a book, turned on some music, talked about her exciting day and she was off to slumber land! Yeah she was a little upset she fell asleep with a sad look on her face. The trick for us, we put her to bed a little late, made sure she was good and tired so she would want to fall asleep! and yes it was the first night so i laid with her for a little while, and I cried thinking of leaving her in her room. i had a moment when i thought of all the bad things that could happen but are really really unlikely to. I tried making an excuse to justin of why maybe not tonight and try another night, but that thought wasn't even said out loud till he X'd that one! So it was done, and she was pretty good about it!
if it looks like its bright as day its because it practically was...she said she was afraid of the dark so we gave her a nite light it was brighter than her lamp! YIPPEE FOR PARIS WHAT A BIG 4 YR OLD! HAPPY BDAY PARIS!
