• Erika turns three years old! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MY DARLING ERIKA!


• On her birthday, we went to the beach, and her favorite playground. She rode the slide and the swings, and climbed the rock wall in flip-flops.


• We allowed Erika to pick a restaurant/cuisine for her birthday dinner, and she picked an all-you-can-eat sushi restaurant.


• On Saturday, we had a small intimate Hello Kitty themed birthday party. Erika invited her Ah Yi [aunt] and Ross [Ah Yi's boyfriend], and three friends: Isla, Teagan, and Keya. That was how she wanted it, as she self-described it: "I want them to come to my house for a playdate, but with birthday cake at the end."


• Erika loves running, and she's now so fast I can't even fake walking fast anymore, I have to actually run to catch her. See her fly!
