...once upon a time...

Once upon a time, there was a little girl who wanted a sweater…that was red…

She asked her LaLa to knit one for her.

It needed special buttons.

And so her LaLa knit the little girl a sweater...that was red.  The little girl said she wanted to wear it every day.  She did, and they lived happily ever after.

The end.

...when you're little...

you love to swing,

 and slide,

look for frogs,

and climb,


hold hands,

and ride on a pig train.

 You're not crazy about having your picture taken,

 but you do love to feed goats,

slide in the hay maze,

 and laugh.

 But what you love best is sharing and hanging out with your sister.

...POW!...

What do you do when you are turning 3 and love Superheroes?  You have a Superhero Birthday party, naturally.  And naturally, you have cake...

and ice cream...

...and treat bags.

You play on the slide...

...have Superhero fights...

...with Superheroes big and small...

...and show your muscles.

But most of all, there is a city to save...

...and so you do your best to save it...

...but sometimes you need the help of your Superhero family!

Happy Birthday, Paytan!  It was a party to remember!

...1095 days...

1095 days ago, we welcomed Paytan into our world and our lives have never been the same...

Dear Paytan, 

Your super power is that no matter what you do you always seem to make us laugh.  You are definitely your own person.  Thank you for making the past 1095 day super special.  I can't wait to see what the next 1095 days will bring.  

love,

LaLa
