Happy 3rd Birthday Paige!

The year was filled with adventures too numerous to recall,
Outings and trips suited for a person still small,
So as another year has passed and 3 is her age,
We remember this past year of a girl living on Page.

After Paige turned 2, Mommy and Daddy went on a cruise,
Up to Alaska with James and with Booze,
Grandma and Grandpa took Paige to the cottage hoping for sun,
it rained the whole week, but Paige still had fun.

Sometime last summer Paige gave up on the nap,
Instead opting for the odd mishap,
Playing by a sharp table she cut her head during a fall,
Resulting in a scar and ambulance ride after a 911 call.

Paige was finished with diapers after she turned 2,
She'd had enough of sitting in pee and in poo,
The whole concept she learned quite quick,
Because of stickers on a chart which she would stick.

In August we learned there was a baby in Mommy's tummy,
A fact that struck Paige as quite odd and quite funny.
We found this out before a trip to the zoo,
And while we were there we learned that Booze had one too.

In September we made another trip to Edmonton by plane,
And went to the Valley Zoo and rode on a train,
Paige was also a flower girl in a wedding,
And was absolutely perfect, there was no need for fretting.

During the year she discovered the computer and video game,
Clearly we all know we have Daddy to blame,
With great mastery and skill I learned when I was a teen
She can use a laptop like nothing you have ever seen.

Paige moved into a big girl bed and new room,
Because her sister would need the crib soon,
We painted her room and decorated with great care,
But without bars to restrain her at bedtime, run and scream she did in there.

In April her baby sister Rose joined our family to make 4,
Paige welcomed her with open arms (and kisses, pokes, prods, and more),
She loves to help and will do anything for Rose with no refusal,
She can't wait to one day play with her "little baby Woozle".

So the year is complete,
And cake we will eat,
There'll be presents galore,
Till they cover the floor,

Here's to a new age,
To a brand new stage,
Happy Birthday to a little sweetheart living on Page.
