3 years old!

For your third birthday we had a frozen movie theme party. Grammy made and Elsa doll cake and a rectangular cake with Elsa and Anna on it! We had tons of friends over and served little Caesars pizza and salad. You also got to swim and play in the water at your party. We decorated with lots of frozen themed decor and a tulle frozen pretend castle and lots of turquoise and purple colors. Mommy and daddy got you a trampoline and you love it and use it almost every day.

You are just getting cuter and smarter every day and we are enjoying you so much. As if we didn't think you could be any cuter you always seem to somehow. The things you are saying are just killing us and I still love to kiss those sweet sweet cheeks over and over!😘😘😘I tell you at night that I want to kiss you all night and you want me to as well, but then we say that that would be silly because neither of us would get to sleep. You are saying some adorable things and getting smarter every day as well. You say a lot "I PROBABLY......." Using the word probably a lot! So cute. We have been going to storytime at the library often and you are loving learning and singing the songs there and you like to practice singing the seven days of the week song at home. Oh! You absolutely love love love to read! When you are not playing I mostly find you in your room on the couch or pretty much anywhere reading a book to yourself or sometimes to your baby. Sometimes you tell what you can remember of the story or you will just babble on and on about anything pertaining to read your book and it is so! You really don't play nearly as much as you like to read. And you are always asking mommy to read to you and we just could read together all day and you would be happy as a clam! You and Oden have really started to play together well and it is so fun watching you guys interact together and play. When you go down for naps and at bedtime you always want me to just lay with you and you say that over and over. It is so sweet and mommy wishes she could lay with you forever and ever but alas I have to always go and sometimes you will finally let me. I know I will look back at these days and wish that I would have laid with you forever and ever. So some nights I do try to lay with you for a while because it is just so special and I know it is fleeting! 

Just over a week ago we started trying to do some potty training by having you go naked on bottom all around the house. That seemed to really work and make everything click for you. A week and a half later you have only had a few accidents and are peeing in the big potty most of the time and you have food in it several times as well! You have done so well and we are so very very proud of you. I keep telling you that, but I just hope you know inside that I truly mean it, that I am so proud of you for getting this big milestone underway. 

Another thing that you say a lot that is so cute is when we ask you a question if you did something, you say "I did!" It is always very matter of fact sounding. We just started you in dance class for the school semester and you are already loving it. You seem to really like dance class and still teach us dance class at home and you always wear your leotard and tutu and especially your shoes all over the house all the time. 

My love!

Your cuteness is overwhelming. I seem to say that at every stage you go through. But it's so true. Right now you are really into your friends and cousins. You ask to be in Georgie's class a lot, and always wonder if we are doing things with your "cousins." It's really a blessing how you are getting to grow up with them. Some of your favorite foods are of course dessert, asparagus, pbj, cucumber, salmon, most veggies with "dip dip" i.e. Ranch, and cereal and eggs and occasional pancakes for breakfast. Daddy takes you to breakfast at least once a week. Usually to the egg and I😋You say "I probably ........" A lot. Too cute. You talk really well and can almost count perfectly to 20! Now we are starting to work with you on recognizing your letters and numbers. You love to jump on the trampoline. You are so so loving (most of the time) to Odin. You say all the time to all of us and him "I love you brother, Odin". You are getting some adorable little freckles on your nose and upper cheeks. Man you are getting more and more beautiful by the day. Sometimes I just can't stop looking at your pretty face.  Your smile is cute, you crinkle your nose. You finally have enough hair for ponies and you like one on top and two on the sides. Your have started to do a very silly "fake" hard belly laugh and it's so funny. We just got your ears pierced, and although it was traumatic you did great and you love your sparkly flower studs. You also love to paint your toes and nails and you like the same colors that mommy has on. You love to do crafts and we just did a pumpkin paper plate craft for halloween that you LOVED. You are getting awesome on your strider bike, and you are adorable when you "play dance class" and "do exercise." You pretend to do Insanity workouts like mom. You LOVE your dance class still, and the morning of you put your outfit on hours before class time. You often wear your Leo around the house just bc you love it. And your wear your ballet shoes all the time too😄You are doing awesome on your strider bike, and love to go ride the "pump track." We love every single moment with you, even your melt down moments. And I should add you still sleep awesome, and still take a great nap. I love you, my treasure. Please stop growing.💕💕💕
