3 years old.

At midday on the 6 of April 2006 a little girl was born. Her name: Niave Megan Hutton.
She has been with us for 3 years and has certainly lived up to the meaning of her name which is "brightness". She is a real cutie but keeps us on our toes as well!!

From 0-3 in pictures from L - R.
Niave's 3rd birthday started at 1:30 a.m. when she woke up with what I suspect was croup. She had a barking cough and couldn't breathe properly. After we'd calmed her down she fell asleep on the couch where she slept for the rest of the night!When she woke up it was present time!

A pretty new dress,

the Heffalump DVD (from Abs)

and a garage from us - this little girl LOVES cars.

Then it was a mad rush to get everyone ready for Peter Rabbit at the Artscape.

No pictures allowed but it was very sweet. Mr McGregor (or Mr. Rake as Niave calls him!)was a bit scary but not too bad.

This afternoon we had to visit the doctor to check out her chest etc. and then it was back to Ouma's house for MORE presents and candles of course (we did the birthday cake on Saturday at her party but I thought we should sing to her on the day too).

She was very spoilt (again!) with a super construction set from Ouma and Oupa and a Beatrix Potter DVD and Peter Rabbit soft toy from Aunty Bev.
So, of course, poor old, faithful Beaky has been left out in the cold again and 2 Peter rabbits (Abigail's and Niave's) are tucked up warm in bed!

All in all a Happy 3rd Birthday!

Happy 3rd Bday, Niave! :) Love the gifts. How sturdy is that parking garage? Sam's one is a bit flimsy and won't last two boys, that's for sure! And, Peter Rabbit? How was that? Keen to know. Perhaps I will take the kids sometime this week.

Hi. The garage is quite a good 1, I searched and searched and to be honest they were all quite expensive (between R550 and R700)then I found this 1 at Toy Orbit for R400! It is 2006 stock and he hasn't put up the price. (There are still 2 left!!) It is quite sturdy and I know a couple of families who have had theirs for a good few years and lasted well. Peter Rabbit was fine but Mr. McGregor did frighten some kids, I just laughed at him and said to Niave he was a funny, silly man who wants to catch the bunnies, she seemed okay but didn't leave my lap! There's a lot of audience participation too which is nice. You may want to consider leaving Micah with a babysitter though because the space is quite tight, seating is mostly on the carpet, it's in the chandelier foyer, not in an actual theatre. Hope you have a good week:-)
