In the months leading up to her birthday, (ever since Carson's birthday back in February), and in the month since her birthday, Lizzie has been assuming every day is her big day. She sings the "Happy Birthday song" (when she can't get us to sing it to her for the umpteenth time, she simply sings it to herself). She stacks toys to create birthday cakes. Every treat and toy from her grandparents is another birthday present. So, while she does seem to "get" the concept of it all this year, I think her definition might be a bit broad. Anyhow, enjoy the pictures below! Included is a shot I wanted to share of some Pinterest/Better Homes & Gardens/IKEA-inspired fun I had in her room, adding a little library display, chalkboard, and magnet board. (Another assumed birthday gift, although it was completed a month before her day). :)

| We decked out her room when she fell asleep--when she woke up, it kept her entertained for some time before she even came out. |
 |
| It's entirely possible that I take more satisfaction out of these small changes to Lizzie's room than she does. However, as soon as I finished, she plopped down right in front of the books and started browsing old favorites that had previously been buried in a bin. Life's little pleasures, right? |
 |
| She got to watch a movie while we got ready. When we came back into the living room, this is the sight we met. Pretty sure she does, in fact, believe we're all her royal subjects. |
Happy birthday, darling girl! I'm looking forward to another year of watching you grow, and of falling more in love with you (I've stopped asking myself whether it's even possible to love you any more, because you daily defy any fathomable limits)!
