Wow, I can't believe you're three now...such a big, big girl.
Here are some things I don't want to forget about you at three:
1. You love your dink more than anything in the world.
2. You love playing with babies, real ones and babydolls.
3. You're extremely feisty and extraordinary, so much that you even shock your teachers at times.
4. You like to tote around a million things with you when we go places.
5. You love to pick pacific cherries every day and swing.
6. You're gaining confidence in the water...you like to go under and pick up things off the ground that sink to the bottom.
7. You eat my cultured vegetables in small amounts! (you love everything pickled, including okra)
8. BUT, you still have a sweet tooth despite my efforts to avoid it.
9. I can tell you are going to be a good climber...you have it in your blood ;)
10. You call yellow "lellow"
11. You are not intimidated by anyone or anything, and that kinda scares me.
12. You sneak into the freezer several times every day to get blueberries.
13. You're pretty mean to our cat, Horace. You think it's funny to chase him. He WILL scratch you one day.
14. You love exploring critters...toads, skinks, geckos, slugs, and snails.
15. You always end up dirty, and often naked.
16. We lay with you in your room at night until you go to sleep.
17. You can't be still.
18. You love to dance and sing and read stories.
19. You love to paint, but you are done with your masterpieces in about 2 minutes.
20. Dad has gotten you hooked on chewing gum. You want it as a reward for using the potty when you are clearly beyond that!!!
21. You just started a Montessori school, and Auntie Mary looks very tired when we pick you up.
22. You know how to express yourself well.
23. You're very clever.
24. You talk about the big bad, bad wolf too much. He's always lurking around the corner, or cutting the grass.
25. You just flew your first kite all by yourself!
26. You have already had lice two times. and so have I.
27. You are loved.
Love, Mama and Dad
Fern wanted a baby sister for her birthday as well as a 'blue' birthday. No sister was in the plan, but I tried to incorporate blue in her birthday party day. Here is a tiny video of her on her actual birthday when she woke up in the morning and found her surprise. She also had a little party at her school to celebrate her birthday and her last day of school. We had a bigger birthday party the day after, but those pictures will come later. I thought the family would enjoy this one. It starts with her at 2. She has grown so much as you will see.

Oh my that was so cute :) Emily thinks your family lives in a tree house. Anna was shouting at the computer "Pern, Pern in there!".
