I can't believe my little girl is now three years old! Wow, time flies! Many exciting things have been happening with her - she has officially stopped going to day care and will be starting a preschool closer to home. She will be going 3 days a week (mornings) with kids in our neighborhood and many from our church. She is excited and has bought a new big girl back pack and is always asking when she gets to start Miss Tammy's.
I am continuing to use this for her baby book, so here's some new things about her:
- She is SOOOO creative! I love her imagination! She can make up stories, songs, words, anything. She loves to play with her babies (she calls herself a small mommy and gets mad if you tell her she is not a mommy) and will spend hours making them do circle time with them, reading them stories, dressing them, or putting diapers on them.
- She loves to ask questions. About anything and everything. She can spend a whole drive asking questions - one 45 minute car ride consisted of nonstop questions about cows, horses, heaven, golf and then swimming.
- She is a bit of a fish. We have spent a lot of this summer in pools and lakes and she has loved it. She has learned to trust her life jacket and will swim by herself with it on. We have been continuing swim lessons and she has made some huge strides.
- She has some great sayings like "my pee is sick" (when we make her try the potty and she doesn't have to go) and says twenty-ten (for thirty).
- She remembers everything....everything! Be careful what you say around her because she will bring it up (months later!).
- She is a quick learner. She can write her own name, recognize her last name, she knows all her letters and their sounds, she can count to 29, and much, much more!
- She has a love for books and could spend an entire day having you read to her. Its amazing that sometimes I have to tell her that we are only allowed to read one more story and she is not happy about it (because we have read for the last hour).
- She worries a lot....wish I could do something to help her with that. She worries about everything - at all times and for days and data. She will often call us into her room I the middle of the night because she's worried we didn't put a toy away, or that we make sure we feed brother.....anything.
- Everything is yesterday. She doesn't quite have elapsed time down. Yesterday means yesterday, days ago or a week ago.
- She is a great big sister and loves to make Liam smile and laugh. She has realized that she can now make him laugh in the car and I just hear the two of them giggling nonstop.
We had a big family party before her birthday which included an all cousin camp out in our back yard.

On her actual birthday we had a very quiet day with church and cake (can't get much better than that)!

She was so excited to make and decorate her cake - she asked about it all day!
