how we spent your day

 Even though Kjella refused to believe it was her birthday (or she was anything but 2) we still wanted to make it special and do something that'd she like to do.  We headed downtown for breakfast where Kjells throughly enjoyed some freshly made mini donuts and then to the Seattle Children's Museum.
Birthday girl was in a great mood.
She had a lot of fun exploring all the different exhibits.  
 She loved the little store and filled her cart with fruits and veggies,
Wish she'd be as excited about real ones!
 The bus exhibit had a chunk missing out of the seat and when Kjella asked John what happened to it he told her that Elbo ate it.  Which made me laugh because when we were kids my brother did take a bite out of the car door on our Mom's civic right down to the metal.
 She loved the art room.  Painting and clay and coloring galore.
 Trying hard to stay in the lines.
After we'd explored all we could Kjells told us it was time to go home.  She fell asleep in the car pretty quickly.
 When it came time to blow out her candles she gave the cupcake one look, said "no, thank you" and walked away!  After a little coaxing she agreed to blow it out as long as we didn't sing.  And then wanted to do it again and again.  Around the 15th time she said it would be okay for us to sing and then went for another dozen or so rounds.  There wasn't much of the candle left when she was done.
I have a feeling we'll be doing the same thing at her party next weekend.
Such a great day, I still can't believe she's three!
