Another six months have come and gone and as much as I don't want to accept it, you are turning three and a half today. You are growing up so quickly and there are so many times that I look at you and am sad that you are no longer a baby (although you will always be my baby!). Here are a few things I want to remember about you as you turn 3 1/2:
- You are still very tall for your age and are the tallest one in your preschool class. You weigh about 41 pounds and wear size 5/6 clothes. You only weigh a few pounds less than Eden and the two of you can often share clothes.
- You are a good eater and will usually try almost anything I offer. Some of your favorites are all types of fruit, nuts, peanut butter and honey sandwiches, broccoli, salad, and anything sweet.
- You are doing a GREAT job wearing your glasses! You often put them on in the morning without any reminders and rarely take them off during the day.
- Now that you have glasses and can see clearly, you are finally starting to learn your letters/sounds and have started trying to write your name. You can count to twelve and can recognize several numbers.
- Another thing that you like to do now that you have glasses is watch TV/movies. Before you got your glasses, you would only watch about 5 minutes of a movie before you lost interest. Now you ask to watch a video during rest time every day. A few of your favorites right now are Team Umizoomi, Little Einsteins, and Little Bear. You also love the movie Frozen.
- You love to read books and have started asking to "read" your books to me at bedtime. You also enjoy coloring and drawing.
- You love playing with your baby dolls and are such a good mommy to them. You love to feed them, rock them, and put them to bed in their crib.
- Playing outside is one of your favorite things to do. You especially love swinging on the swing set.
- Your strong willed personality keeps us on our toes! You are definitely in the terrible three's but it seems to be getting a little better the closer you get to turning four. You can go from crying to laughing and then back to crying in a matter of seconds! But in the end, you always make me laugh with the funny things you say and your over exaggerated, animated facial expressions!
- You love playing with your brother and sister but you also love to drive them crazy! You have also gotten very close to Aubrey this year and look forward to seeing her every morning at breakfast.
- Around Thanksgiving you started having some bladder issues. For almost two months, you asked to go to the bathroom about every 20-30 minutes during the day and were up 2-6 times at night. We took you to Dr. Morrow and then were referred to Dr. Pinto, a pediatric urologist. Even after several tests and x-rays, they were never able to give us a definite reason on why you were having this frequency in urination. Thankfully, you have finally outgrown the problem during the day and are only getting up once a night to go to the bathroom.
You are such a happy, funny, bright little girl and I am so proud to call you mine! I love being you mommy and enjoy spending my days with you! You can always put a smile on my face and I look forward to your hugs and kisses! Even though it seems like time is moving way too fast, it is fun to watch you as you grow and become more and more independent. I can't wait to see how you change over the next six months. I love you to the moon and back, Mommy
