Mia Isabelle: 3 Year Update

Dear Mia,
How can you possibly be 3 years old? Wasn't it just yesterday you were this tiny little bundle of squishy love/screams? All of a sudden you've become my most favorite person to hang out with. So curious, kind, energetic & loving, with a true zest for life.
Lately when you think you're in trouble you'll ask, "Daddy, are you happy?" You started taking ballet classes & appear to be as much of a natural as a 3 year old can be.  You love hunting for "spines & cones'"aka & pine cones. You got a little pink Vespa tricycle for your bday that we have just started practicing on this spring.  You keep asking to have a chicken party for your next birthday. You got your 1st board games at your bday too!! We've been playing The Squirrel Game & Doc McStuffins Operation almost every nite. You also love play
doh & sidewalk chalk.

I thought the transition from crib to bed would be atrocious but you handled it like a champion. Its actually more of a battle to put you to bed than when you were in the crib. At least for now. You watched your 1st movie, Frozen, with mom on Easter Sunday. You love singing Let It Go but I think you're starting to like Do You Want To Build A Snowman even better. Now I'm all excited to have you watch all my favorite Disney movies!! Today you watched Toy Story 2 wearing your Buzz Lightyear jammies. I've been excited to share these moments with you since before you were born Mia baby!!!!
All of a sudden in the last couple months you're a HORRIBLE eater!!! Sometimes you eat so little throughout the day I don't know how you have any energy.  The only things you'll eat on a regular basis are waffles w peanut butter, oatmeal, berries & mac & cheese. Oh and cake anytime, anywhere. Like mother like daughter.

You are super articulate & we have he cutest conversations. Just the other morning while driving to Nana's before  work you asked,  Mom? Am I growing bigger? Will I walk on stilts? Do I have to join the circus? One of the only verbal concepts you've haven't mastered is the concept of tomorrow or yesterday. You always say last morning. "Mom, I don't want to to take a bath, I took one last morning. Hahaha We read books every nite before bed but I am not sure that you have one specific favorite. In the top 5 would definitely be Little Critter My Trip to the Hospital by Mercer Mayer, King Jack & The Dragon by Peter Bently , any Fancy Nancy & One Fish, Two Fish.

You have always been petite & are still on the tiny side. Weighing 26 lbs you're only in the 5% for weight. At 36.5 in tall you're in the 11%for height. You wear mostly 3T & a size 7 shoe. You're very capable of being pee potty trained but still have no interest in anything else. Lucky for me you still let me pick out your clothes, although if it was up to you, you would wear your bird dress everyday.  When you're stubborn streak comes out I point the finger at daddy & grandma. When your contrary streak comes out I point my finger in the mirror & at grandpa!!!!!

We love watching you grow & are so lucky to be on the receiving end of your endless hugs & kisses. Choose happy my sweet baby girl.
