Nellie's Third Birthday

We can barely believe that Nellie is three. We are having a small party and for the first time there are actually going to be children coming and not just adults with wine glasses.

Nellie has picked out the cake she wants me to make - a butterfly. Now we have to put together party favours, order balloons, make fairy bread, buy the prizes for pass the parcel and pick out the music for freeze dance.

Nellie does not need any more toys! We are recommending DVDs, instruments, colouring books, bubble bath, hairbands, face painting kit, art supplies for her easel and cold hard cash.

She is now nappy-free and sleeping in a big girl bed and has earned a tricycle from Mummy and Daddy. All of Nellie's focus has been on these things so she has barely cared that she is about to be a big sister.

The Stroller Solution

When Nellie was a little too slow for the morning rush, we put her in her own stroller and then Mark was able to zip her along the Brooklyn streets and she could still push her own stroller too.
