Today is Matilda's 3rd birthday! When thinking of birthday themes I like to focus on two things, what does my child love right now and what lesson do I want them to take from the year. So this year's theme of Be Curious was born - not only because Matilda loves Curious George, but because I want her to hold onto her own curiosity as she grows.
We invited a few friends over and played with Play-Doh, read Curious George books, did a science experiment, guessed how many pieces of candy were in different sized jars, tossed balloons in the air with a parachute, and ate ice cream cake! It was simple, fun, and everyone took home a Curious George book.
Best of all, I feel like this is the beginning of a very normal childhood for Matilda where she is allowed to explore her world with curiosity the way a little one should. Her beginning was difficult, but her life will always be extraordinary.

- Letter and Number balloons from Northstar Balloons - they gave them to me to use for this party, but I would have purchased from them either way. I also used them for Parker's Hi Five party.
