The L.A. Dime

…are sleeping through the night and even if you have to go up to use the rest room, you do so all by yourself (without yelling “mama, I have to pee” anymore)
…amaze us with your thought process…when I asked you last week where your money was to pay for your new shoes, you said that you didn’t have any but I had some in my wallet or when one of us leaves the house, ask immediately who is going to stay & take care of you and Clay
…love to play teacher or parent….you’ll line up all your dolls and will sing to them one by one, or take them to school one by one, etc.; you’ve even been called “little miss donna” for always volunteering to help your teacher and often helping get the other kids lined up or started in an activity
…enjoy playing with Clay – now that he can sit, you hand him toys or include him in your games of making lunch
…love to play dress-up princess and twirl around in dresses or skirts
…always ask to have your hair down (“like sleeping booty and arial”)
…outrun other kids your age every chance you get; you also enjoy kicking the soccer ball or learning how to play catch
…have really enjoyed the rain this season, asking to put on your rain boots and jumping from puddle to puddle
…ask for your favorite breakfast of “nutella with bread” daily but will settle for cereal or a waffel (with chocolate chips of course)
…still want to read a book to us first before we read it to you
…have mastered the days of the week (in order) and the alphabet (recognizing letters and knowing at least 2 words that start with that letter) and are getting familiar with recognizing numbers; you can count past 10 now too but still miss some numbers here and there
…love bath time and would stay in the tub for hours to play with your various bath toys if we’d let you

…wake up in the morning and ask what we have planned for the day
…like it when we build robots or houses with you out of Lego’s or Bristle blocks

…prefer to wear a dress or skirt over pants (but did get in a bit of trouble at school today when you decided to show everyone your underwear)

…are a happy pre-schooler who continues to ask lots of questions, loves to go on adventures and runs through life with full gusto!
