Emilia’s big “third birthday” present finally arrived and was set up this week. I thought it was going to be a nightmare to keep her out of the backyard but all I had to say was that there were some men doing some work in the yard (we’ve had people working back there all summer long it seems, hence our lack of any discernable grass) and she couldn’t have cared less.

Yes, we finally caved and got her a playset between us, her 4 grandparents and Tio Equis (Eric, Marcus’ bro). We figured with three kids that it would be best in terms of our own sanity. To say she loves it would be an understatement – she just kind of can’t believe it’s all hers (at least for the time being – until the hermanitos are big enough to share with as she keeps pointing out). The great thing about this set is that it’s movable – in other words, since this is not our ‘forever home’ we can have the installers un-anchor (de-anchor?) it from the ground and break it down enough to where it could be transported.

“comforting” baby jesus after her slide (we’ve been talking about how to hold a baby – note that we’re carefully supporting the head! :)
Our baby girl is 35 months and in a few short weeks turns 3. It’s going to be a huge year for her – the ‘end of the reinado’ as being an only child, welcoming her hermanitos, school, ballet, soccer… it’s kind of exhausting (and overwhelming) to think of it all.
