Happy Birthday Punkin, you turned 3 today! Where has the time gone? Three years ago you were this tiny little helpless infant and today you are Miss Independent.
You are talking really well now, mostly in complete sentences. You have a great memory, sometimes too good of a memory. I've tried to put old toys away and you will remember weeks later where I stored them. You can also recall the outfit that you wore to the Fresh Beat Band concert that we took you to back in May of this year. You're really good at puzzles and will concentrate and take your time until you get them put together.
You have a great personality, although sometimes a bit frustrating because of your stubborn streak. That's what makes you the person you are though and I wouldn't change a thing. You're very outgoing and rarely shy with people. You will talk to anyone and when you meet someone new, you usually will show them the stuffed animal that you are carrying at the time. You're very loving and will readily give hugs and kisses, especially to your stuffed friends and dolls. You are now saying "I love you too", vs. last year's "I be".
You love chicken nuggets and ask for them every night for dinner. You also have a love for ketchup that you MUST have when you eat nuggets, burgers, and/or fries. You like spaghetti, mac & cheese, pb&j sandwiches (which you pull apart), applesauce, fruit, yogurt, ice cream, and most of all...cupcakes! You don't really like meat that much. It's difficult to get you to eat your protein at dinner time, but you'll usually take at least one bite. You don't like vegetables, but will eat cooked carrots when they are offered.
Your favorite 'buddies' are currently Hippo and Cheetie (Cheetah). You insist on sleeping with ALL of your buddies, even though there's barely any room for you to sleep on your bed. Every morning and every night, we have to put all of your buddies in your blanket and haul them up and down the stairs so that they are with you at all times.
You LOVE to watch TV and are currently addicted to the movie "Puss in Boots". You watch it on a daily basis. You also love Micky Mouse Clubhouse, Doc McStuffins, Mike the Night, Toy Story, Tangled, and of course The Fresh Beat Band. You also love going to "My-nastics" (gymnastics). You've been going for several months now and have really increased your strength and coordination.
About a month ago, we moved you to your big girl bed and you were so excited and loved it from the beginning. We've not had any problems with you getting out of your bed. Even though you can climb in and out of it on your own, you won't until we come up and get you. Such a good girl!
We tried potty training you a few months ago with no luck, but I think you're ready now and have been using the potty at daycare sporadically. We look forward to getting you out of diapers and into big girl panties!
I've written so much down, but it still doesn't cover all of the wonderful things that we've experienced with you this last year. You have done so many amazing things this year and have learned so much. Daddy and I are so proud of you. We can't wait to see what you have in store for us in this next year.
We love you Punkin'! Happy 3rd Birthday!
Love Mommy & Daddy
