You are three-years-old today!
(this morning after breakfast)
You are so full of personality and you are always making us laugh. You have a great imagination and you love to play pretend with dolls, toys, and dress-up. Your favorite things to do are play with Mickey Mouse toys, play dress-up, play outside, swing on swings, build things with blocks, do art projects, and anything that your sister is doing. You love to swim and you are happy to float around the pool with a water gun in your hand all afternoon.
You love to eat Mexican food (your birthday dinner was a burrito bowl from Moe's) and almost any kind of crunchy snack. You will have a bite or two of sweets but you don't care too much for them. You love popsicles you are always trying to talk us into giving you one. You love to drink milk but have developed a taste for "ice water like sissy".
You still take a two-hour-nap most days but you can also go without a nap if need be. You are happy to go try new things and travel to new places as long as you are entertained along the way (for example- watching movies while on road trips).
You have started to remember events and people this past year and constantly ask about your friends that live far away (Kylie, Nico, Emmie, Ellie, Ruthie, JP, Annalise, and Baby Sam). You talk about things you did with them and ask when you are going to see them again. You love your Grandparents and Aunts and Uncles and ask about them constantly- where are they? what are they doing? when are they coming back to visit?
You and Elizabeth started sharing a room last October and you love staying in the same room together! We created a playroom for you and your sister at the same time and the two of you love to play down there with all of your toys. Now that Elizabeth is in kindergarten you are happy to play down there by yourself.
You wear a size 4T shirt, pants, and dresses and a size 9 shoe. You are around 36-37 inches tall and I have no idea how much you weigh- I'm guessing between 36-40 pounds (we will find out next week).
Your favorite TV shows are: Super Why, Little Einsteins, Puppy Dog Pals, and Mickey and the Roadster Racers. You love the Trolls Movie, The Incredibles, and Frozen. You love to read books and I am constantly finding the bookcase completely empty and you sitting in a pile of books.
You have taken a few trips this past year:
In November we went to Harpers Ferry, West Virginia for Mommy's birthday.
In December we went to Deep Creek, Maryland for a snow-trip New Years holiday with Jared, Kelly, Scot, Kylie, and our family.
In January we went to Pennsylvania to visit Nana and Pap Pap during the Inauguration.
In April we took a Spring Break trip through the South. You, Elizabeth, and I went to South Carolina for four days to visit Stacy's family and then we drove to Georgia. Daddy flew down to Georgia to meet up with us and we spent four days celebrating the end of spring break, Easter, and Annalise's birthday.
Also in April we drove up to Pennsylvania to visit Nana, Pap Pap, and celebrate Baby Sam's birthday.
