Happy birthday, Rose!

We're out of the Terrible 2s and hoping for good things (although this amuses us and gives us pause: http://www.scarymommy.com/three-new-two/).

Happy birthday, Rosie!!

We asked Rosie some questions to mark the occasion:

1) Us:  Rose, what is your favorite food?

     Rose:  Banana bread and applesauce and pasta.

2a) Us:  What do you want to be when you grow up?

      Rose:  I'm growing into a Mommy! [i.e. grown-up female, to her]

2b) Us: What do grown-ups do, Rose?

      Rose:  They use the iron.

3) Us: What makes you happy?

     Rose:  Grass.  I eat grass!  I'm a tiger!

4) Us:  What is really fun to do?

     Rose:  Play hide and seek!
5) Us:  Why are you tackling Peter?
     Rose: I'm pretending he's a violin! [should we sign her up for music lessons or wrestling?] 

She wanted to eat cake for breakfast and lunch and dinner (who doesn't?).  And she requested to wear three ponytails ("because I am 3!"):

Mmm...  candles.

Mom and Dad made her a Daniel Tiger birthday cake for her and a friend's double birthday tea party.
