For the last two years, October 18 was a day I dreaded, knowing that it would mark another significant milestone in Maya's life that we were missing. For her first birthday Sean and I made a little cake and I bought her the little elephant that you saw her carry around in the Haiti pictures. The second year I think we pretended it wasn't actually that day. So you can only imagine how wonderful it was to have her HERE WITH US on her third birthday last Sunday! It brought back all of the initial feelings of disbelief that she is actually here, actually ours.
We celebrated by going to her Uncle Adam and Aunt Amanda's house. They had created a dance party in their spare room, complete with streamers, twinkling lights, and rhythm instruments. She had a blast dancing the night away.
And, of course, we had cake.
