This letter is a little late, as we were in WALT DISNEY WORLD on your 3rd birthday!!! There was no better way to spend your 3rd
birthday than getting a princess-ed up in the Bibbidi Bobbidi
Boutique. Aunt Carrie and Uncle Alan treated you to this special
occasion, and after much debate, you decided to be “Rapunzel.” You
picked out a Rapunzel dress and the Rapunzel hair (i.e. poofy, long,
blonde hairpiece). You loved getting your nails painted, your makeup
done, and glitter sprinkled all over. Once you were finished, you
waltzed around the park on your way to lunch at “Be Our Guest”
restaurant. There, you celebrated with a special PINK (of course)
cupcake. You really enjoyed everyone singing “Happy Birthday” to you.
Although you may not remember this monumental occasion, it will be
well-documented in pictures! To celebrate your birthday at home, we had
a little “Pink Princess Part” at our house, including a Princess cake,
pink lemonade, and pink ice cream.
Over
the past 6 months, we’ve moved to Oklahoma City, and we are pretty much
all settled in! Even though we’ve been here for several months, you
still refer to our house as “our new house.” You have a new room with a
white toddler bed, and TONS of girly toys. You love to play with your
baby dolls, princesses, hair accessories, jewelry, and any other little
trinkets. Your favorite color is still pink, so there is a lot of pink
in your room. It’s obvious that you’re a girly girl because you only
want to wear dresses, princess nightgowns, and you always want your hair
“braided like Elsa.”
You love your groceries! At your recent doctor’s appointment, they said you were 90th percentile in weight and around 65th
percentile in height. You are finally growing taller! I knew that you
would eventually catch up. You love mac and cheese, Spaghettios,
cheeseburgers, French fries, chicken nuggets, goldfish, graham crackers,
yogurt, and anything sweet!! Ever since we’ve moved, you have been
getting up really early in the morning….generally between 5:30 and 6am.
This has been hard on mommy! Also, you frequently come and wake us up
in the middle of the night so we can “come lay with [you].” You love
your blankie, your pillow, and your baby dolls. Each morning, if we’re
lucky, you will peacefully go “watch a movie” (i.e. TV show) and have
“choc milk and a nack.” On other mornings, you will display quite the
protest about getting up.
Since
September, you have attended Little Bronco’s Kids Club in Mustang. It
seemed to take a while to warm up to the staff, especially since you
were used to Miss Lori, but now you really like Ms. Ashley, Ms.
Stephanie, and Ms. Mel. You are learning a lot at “school” because you
come home and sing songs, tell stories, and tell us some of the things
you talked about that day. We also started dance lessons at Dance
Authority (called “First Steps” class). You were an adorable ballerina
and loved the idea of taking dance, but once you realized that mommy
couldn’t stay with you in the class, you started not wanting to go.
After 2-3 months, we let you stop for a while. Maybe you will want to
do it again in the future! You keep talking about taking gymnastics, so
maybe we will try that next.
You
love spending time with your family. “Bubba” is your best
friend…sometimes…in fact, you will let EVERYONE know if he/she is your
best friend, or not. Generally, it depends on the circumstances. Most
frequently, your best friends are Bubba, Daddy, Mommy, Grandma Donna,
Nana, and Nanny. One of your favorite activities is coloring, drawing,
and looking at books. You also love to play outside, and you could
swing for hours! That is definitely your favorite activity when
outside. You had your first trip to a beach while in Florida, and you
loved running around in your swimsuit and playing in the sand. You also
enjoyed exploring at Lake Texoma over Thanksgiving.
Nearly
every day, someone comments on how absolutely BEAUTIFUL you are! Mommy
and daddy couldn’t agree more. We pray for your heart to be filled
with kindness, gratitude, and love.
Love,
Mommy and Daddy
