Three Years Old

Gracie Girl...

At three years old, you are quite a trip.

Always learning new things.

Always looking for trouble.

Always searching for entertainment.

You are growing like a little weed!

Your favorite foods (aside from snowballs full of pinestraw) include PB&J, "chips and dip" (Mexican), pizza, any type of fresh fruit, "monster" cheese (muenster cheese), and "shicken and shensh shies" (chicken and french fries).

I feel like I have to buy you new pants and shoes on a weekly basis.

And. while bigger pants do give you the length I so desperately desire, they generally fall right off your tiny hiney!

At three years old, one of your favorite things is going to pre-school to see your friends and teachers.

If anything exciting happens at home, you are so happy to report it back to Abigail, Ellie, Kendra, Addy, Ms. Bayne, and Miss Amanda.

You have learned so much including your letters, numbers, colors, and how to share (yay!). 

You have even become quite the technology buff and can work Mommy's iPhone better than Mommy can.



At three years old, you and your little brother are quite a pair!

You are a great big sister, and you love to play with/feed/roll around with/tickle Jack.

Watching you grow and love one another is so amazing!

While you do like to play with your brother, you also love to play on your own.

You are still fond of your kitchen (especially the new addition of a Princess Cupcake oven), you love puzzles, the Silly Faces game, dress up clothes, ponies, Moon Dough, and anything that has to do with art.

You also love to read!

Your favorites include The Gruffalo; Llama, Llama Mad at Mama; Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?; and Hiccupotamus.

With each passing day, you grow bigger, smarter, funnier, and more precious than ever.

As you grow and change, God constantly reminds us what a blessing he gave us in YOU!

At three years old, you sometimes drive us bonkers, say crazy things, and cause our hair to become a little bit gray-er.  BUT, we will always be thankful for the beautiful little girl who made us parents and turned our life upside down.

At three years old, we can't wait to see what other joys you bring!!
