Today is my niece's 3rd birthday. This fact is astonishing for many reasons but mostly because it seems like a minute ago that my sister and I were talking about our someday mom dream lives. We would meet at the park while our litter of kids played and we would drink fancy coffee drinks and gossip, giggle and get lost in deep conversations (at least that is how I pictured it anyway). This hasn't happened yet but we try our hardest to get together when we can. This Saturday we got together to celebrate the first Johnson sister baby, Miss Clementine.
There were lots of fun things to play with while there. But the favorite had to be the balloons. Clementine and Nolan were completely content just prancing around the house with them bopping behind. Every so often I could get them to hold still for a photo. Here's Miss Clem looking like a big girl.
And Nolan looking like a stand up comic.
Seriously, can't you just hear him saying, "Have you heard the one about the chicken?"
There was a pinata filled with some of Clementine's favorite things, playdoh, lollipops, silly glasses and plastic dinosaurs. That was a big hit!
And when it came time to blow out the candle, this girl knew just what to do. I mean she has done this birthday thing twice before...she's a pro!
And finally, the best birthday gift of all. Nolan's first PDA, caught on film and everything!
That's right I blurred the edges, it's a moment here! It's really the best gift he could give since it's usually only reserved for Pat or I. I'm so glad he did it, Clementine loves Nolan and I've been told she talks about him all the time. I think if Nolan could talk he would do the same, and this hug shows how much he loves his cousin too.
Happy Birthday Clementine, and thank you Emily for carving the path on this motherhood thing!
