Emily,
It's hard to believe you're three years old today! The time has flown by as everyone told us it would. You are so spunky and fun and you're trying to figure out the world more and more every day. Some things to remember about you on your 3rd birthday:
- You're still using your binky (mostly at night and during car rides) although we told you that when you turned 3- and were finally a "big girl"- that the binky would go away. You were game up until yesterday, we'll see how you feel about it tonight :)
- You're a great sleeper. You go to sleep easy, you sleep well and you really seem to enjoy your sleep. Maybe you can talk to Soren about that?
- You're a little entertainer. Lately you love to sing and dance and say "watch me" before you put on a show
- You've definitely got a little attitude. You are stubborn like your sister and like to assert yourself when you don't get what you want. Hopefully some day we can turn that into true leadership potential.
- You're not necessarily a picky eater but sometimes you just don't want to eat. You'll just not eat dinner and then the next night you'll eat 2 or 3 helpings. You just walk to your own drum.
- You are Soren are starting to act a lot like Reese and Asher. You love each other and play together so nicely and then, 2 minutes later, you're fighting and both of you are crying and running to tell us how terrible the other one is. I'm sure your relationship will ebb and flow throughout your life but I like to think that you will always be thankful to have a sibling so close in age.
- You're getting close to being potty trained. I'd say you're at a 75% success rate.
- You don't really like having your hair up or pulled back. You'll tolerate a half ponytail once in awhile but usually you prefer to just run around "free and uninhibited" which usually results in most of your hair matted and in your face by the end of the day. You do, however, tolerate wearing your glasses, which continues to impress me.
- You are a HUGE fan of milk. You would probably drink a gallon a day if we let you. You've also convinced Soren it's the greatest thing ever so thank you for that.
It is a lot of fun watching you grow. You at a tough age where you challenge us every day but you also bring us some of the best moments of parenting and we are so thankful for that. Happy Birthday munchkin. We love you.
Love,
Mommy & Daddy
