The 3 Year Old
October 24th, 2011 by stacey
As of October 8, Lily is now 3 years old. She is growing so quickly! Here are some quick/fun facts about Lily:
- She is obsessed with dresses. And, the dresses must “spin.” If she puts on a dress that doesn’t have a good twirl to it, she gets teary-eyed and says “That’s not a dress, that is just clothes!”
- She has started calling Nana “Your mom” when speaking to Andy or calling my parent’s “Your mom” or “Your dad” when speaking to me. She is exploring all of the relationships.
- She now sleeps in a Full Size “Big Girl Bed” that my mom bought her for her birthday. Her bed is just as high off of the ground, if not higher, than mine! She is such a big girl, and has Hello Kitty Sheets, which she loves.
- We bought some wall decals and decorated her room (and did a little re-arranging), super cute, I think.
- She is about 50 pounds, 40.5 inches (doctor said she was average weight for an 8 year old and average height for a 5 year old).
- She is completely anti- pooping in the toilet. *Sigh*
- She has a great bedtime routine which she loves to do by herself, and with help as needed: potty in the toilet, wash hands, brush teeth, wash face.
- She likes to pretend that she is Donkey, I am Fiona, and Andy is Shrek.
- Lily LOVES building with legos. We build parks, weddings, stores, libraries, you name it.
- She likes to ask if people are girls, boys, ladies or men (distinguishing sex and age).
- She knows my phone number and our house address.
- Andy made her a mixed CD for her birthday, which include her favorite songs: DJ Got Us Falling In-Love Again (Usher), Rhythm of Love (Plain White T’s), Move Like Jagger (Maroon 5), Forget You (Ceelo Green) Pumped Up Kicks (Foster the People), Just the Way You Are (Bruno Mars) and Rolling in the Deep (Adele)
Some photos, more to come:
Getting Winter and Shauna from the airport late at night. They are both so tired, but happy to see each other!
Matching PJs:
Lily and her baby have matching dresses too:
Lily’s cupcake: Vanilla with sprinkles, gummy bears and coconut (her favorite snacks). The cake in the background is for my Aunt Dianne’s 60th bday, for which we had a mini family reunion! Very fun!
