Keeping up with the Kiddos: THREEnager

She is a force.
Loves her family {{{especially her mama}}}
Loves ALL non-girly things and some girly things too.
Loves dinosaurs, trains, construction trucks, Transformers, action figures, the sandbox at school (...), playing hide-and-seek, BounceU, ponies, Halloween and tutus.
Has more enthusiasm for school than any kid I know.
Asks to do her "homework" and eat yogurt.
Cries LOUDLY when she's been "wronged".
Stands up for herself.
Gives the best hugs.
Her face is my face as a kid. So weird to see my kid-face when I look at her.
Has the cutest, squeakiest little voice and a face with so much expression. Knows how to work the eye brows.
She will tell anyone and everyone, "We don't say 'Damn it'. That's a bad word. We say 'Oh darn!'."
So, so, so silly. Puts a smile on my face every day.
Takes at least 10 toys to bed with her, even though big sisters are still not aloud to have toys in their rooms.
Says "I sorry mama, but I still love you" when she's gotten in trouble. And just like that she's not in trouble anymore.
Asks me to go lay in my bed so we can snuggle after big sisters go to school. Can't say no to that.
Calls her feet her "fuddies". My favorite word.
Loves to be tickled. Says "Tickle me mama!" Then says, "Okay mama that's ENOUGH!"
Loves to be carried, especially piggy-back.
Swings HIGH on the big kid swings. Holds on tight. Smokes the drop.
Asks me, "Mama, are you happy?" when I'm having a bad day. Always cheers me up.
Loves lollipops.
Loves running errands with mama.
Knows all the stores that hand out lollipops to kids.
So excitable. Says, "Mom, c'mere! Check it out! This is so awesome!"
Has the best hair.
Loves the color black.
Dada is THE man in her life.
Loves her big sisters.
Nana's and Papa's are her fave.
Loves her cousins, "Unca Cwis" and "Aunt Cwistina"
Some of her common phrases:
"Please I show you?"
"Please you carry me?"
"Whoopies!" which means oops!
"Deeeeeee-licious!"
"That's alarious!" which means hilarious

I love her so much my heart hurts. How is she three already???
