SHE wakes up happy just about everyday and almost always asks where Tyler is right away.
SHE has made such progress with her swimming. She moved up to Eel with Tyler and can now jump in the water without holding a hand...from the big blocks!! In Florida a couple weeks ago, she even learned to swim underwater and loved it!!
SHE really likes skirts and dresses...I really need to put them on her more...I tend to dress her in jeans and a shirt because it is easy (especially for school).
SHE loves to change back into her pj's in the afternoon but now that she naps the new rule is NO changing!! we had clothes ALL over the house from her changing!!
SHE loves imaginative play... that is based in reality. She plays the mommy or the teacher to her babies and stuffed animals. She will care for them, clean them, feed them, give them naps, talk on the phone etc. She does everything out loud and sometimes doesn't even want you to hear it. She will ask me to close the door if I surprise her in her room. Every time I hear her creating a conversation my heart feels good.
SHE is taking after her mother and older brother in the friendly department...She enjoys saying hello to everyone as we walk around the grocery store or Target!
SHE cracks up at stuff. She finds lots of things funny and laughs with her whole body. I absolutely love that giggle and always think back to her seriousness as a baby...she has changed so much since then!
SHE picks up behaviors and imitates them. They are not necessarily things we want her to be adopting – upset noises and facial expressions of disappointment and frustration seem to be common ones lately. She loves to imitate exactly what I am doing and I am finding frustration happens more often than I would like! She stands behind me and copies the motion of putting cream on my face, hand gestures while I am on the phone and uses my exact wording when caring for her babies (super cute!).
SHE likes books (not as much as Tyler though). She is doing better listening at night and has even started to fill-in-the-blank, when I leave repetetive words out. At school, she learned to “read” Brown Bear, Brown Bear. It is amazing to hear her "read" it to me, and she is SO proud!
SHE says “mine” a lot. She has found her independence and fight in her to battle against her brother. She stands her ground, can be a BIG instigator, and screams and cries if he takes what she thinks is hers.
SHE no longer says "spetti-ghetti" but I think we will always remember it and call it that often!
SHE talks A LOT. She has more and more to say everyday and her memory is getting better! She can retell dreams, shows and books now!
SHE talks A LOT with her hands!! Just the other day at breakfast, Douglas said, "Look at her...she is just like you!"...Even though I had noticed it, I never made the connection that it is something I do! I just don't even think about it!!
SHE is an awesome little three-year-old (well 3.9 year old).
