HAPPY 3RD BIRTHDAY LADYBUG!!!

YOU ARE SUCH AN AMAZING LITTLE GIRL

WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!

Where did the last 3 years go little bug? You are such a spunky, sweet and sassy little lady! You know what you want and are very, VERY independent!! Everyday we notice that you have learned something new…either good or not so much! Preston has been an amazing teacher to you. You idolize him and often think you are 4 rather than just turning 3! The sky is the limit for you and there is nothing that you can’t do, and you remind us of that daily!

Some of your favorites…Jessie from Toy Story, Ariel, dressing up, playing tea party, doing girly things like nail painting, putting on make up with Mommy, pretending to be your favorite characters (especially Penny from BOLT), singing (we just love your “princess eyes”, playing with your big bro (you love to keep up with him and the 2 of you use your imaginations to the fullest!), you love to talk in a silly voice to your baby sis and get her to smile and laugh. You can draw people (using a circle, 2 stick arms, 2 stick legs, eyes, nose, and mouth in the appropriate place) and love to include glasses when needed! You recently became interested in writing your name. You use one stick for each letter of your name. You have been able to spell your name since you were 2 by singing it with a little song. We have been practicing your colors for what seems like forever. But just as you turned 3, you decided that you would humor us and all of a sudden you knew all of your colors! You have been able to spell your colors since you were 2 ½, but couldn’t tell us what color was what until 3!  You love to color and have been able to be entertained by it for about 30-45 minutes at a time.

You have changed SO much in the past year…we are anxious to see how you change over the next 365 days!!
