MYA!! she's now 4. low key actual birthday.. she wanted a dinosaur cake (so we got her a wegman's whipped cream frosting cake and bought dinosaur cake toppers) and chick-fil-a (her birthday "tradition" 2 years in a row now). she did say specifically that she wanted to eat it at home, though i think she's also at the age where she kind of knows that birthday = party but she's also not the personality that would actually enjoy being the center of attention at a party. maybe next year!! over the weekend, we celebrated by going to the children's museum, where she had a BLAST and could probably literally spend ALL day there (if it weren't for jackson being so young and needing a nap in the middle of the day..) we also went to one of her favorite playgrounds (angel playground) after not going for like at least 2 months due to winter. it's so nice seeing her run around on her own.. such a contrast from when she first got here and always needed us to be RI
