It's Amelie's third birthday! Any normal child would have been awake since 4am and excited to the point of hysteria, but it's now 8:25 and she's still asleep. She's so like her mother. It's handy though, because half the balloons Lisa blew up yesterday evening seem to have deflated overnight, so I think we still have some work to do.

Anyway, despite her sleeping through it, it's obviously a momentous day. Turning three brings with it a new level of maturity, wisdom and intelligence, meaning that Amelie now has the ability to "think, to ask questions and to understand", thereby allowing her to indulge in the intellectual pursuit of modern art appreciation.

Unfortunately I showed her the picture last night when she was still two...


I think it was the six-pack that gave it away.
