Since Cassidy's actual 3rd birthday will take place on our upcoming trip to Wisconsin, we decided to hold a little birthday party for her a couple
weeks in advance. She chose to have a Thomas the Train theme - she is a huge Thomas fan these days! We are embracing her little inner tomboy. She requested a train cake from mommy. I told her I'd give it my best shot. The idea was to make a cake with tracks, and then at party time we could gently place her little wooden trains onto the cake as the final touch. But it turns out that sounded "too yucky", so the trains just sat nicely below. We had a really fun party with her toddler friends and their parents. We made a train craft and played with
toys, opened gifts and ate cake! She is still very hesitant when it comes to birthday candles and singing (somehow the whole thing is scary), but she made it through OK and even helped blow out her candles this time. It was a really fun celebration!
