Better Late Than Never

At least that's what I'm telling myself to make me feel better!

My darling daughter, you turned 3 years old on February 22, 2014.  I really can't call you a baby anymore since there is nothing baby about you.

It was an eventful year with you being potty trained and getting weaned completely from breast feeding.  You have gained a lot of independence and love to be "helpful" around the house.  That usually translates to you sweeping piles of dust that I just swept or putting the laundry away where you think it should go.  It's the thought that counts though.

However, you are still very attached to your mommy and I am looking forward to sending you to preschool so you can have some fun away from me.

Reading is still your favorite thing to do.  You will read anything with pages, even a blank notebook!  You will have something to say for each and every page.

You have an incredible imagination and you love to pretend to be characters from your favorite shows and movies.  That usually means you are Izzie or Jake from Jake and the Neverland Pirates or some sort of Disney Princess.  You also assign the rest of the family roles, including your cats.

I love your stories, songs, and your imagination is amazing!  You are such a great little girl and it is a pleasure to watch you grow.  Your life is an adventure and I am glad to be along for the ride.

We had an ice cream party for your birthday and celebrated with all your aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents.  Then on your actual birthday, we went to the zoo with your best friend Jonas and his family.  Everyone had a wonderful time.
At the ice cream party. Yum!

Kiss Kiss



I look forward to seeing what changes this year will bring.  I love you so very much!
