3 1/2 Years

My first baby is 3 1/2 years old.  She is a far cry from that little baby she once was.

She is hilarious.  She is at that stage of "kids say the darndest things" and it cracks us up.  She can still make her sister laugh like no one else.

She loves being outside and has no problem getting dirty.  Every chance she gets, she is digging in the dirt.

She enjoys going to gymnastics class, even though she doesn't always pay attention and stay with her class.  She's certainly not the most coordinated kid out there, but she has so much fun and that's all that really matters at this point.

She is still a free spirit and does whatever she pleases.  Sometimes this is frustrating, but it shows me she's not afraid.

She loves school.  She enjoys being with her friends and has a great teacher.  I hope that she continues to enjoy it.

She can read for hours and is a total bookworm.  This makes me so happy.

She is really into pretend right now.  In the mornings she is usually a puppy, a horse, or some other animal.  I can never keep up.  She makes up stories all the time and they usually involve a dragon at some point.

She's not a crafty girl.  She doesn't have much of a desire to sit around and draw pretty pictures.  She would much rather be doing anything else.

She is my first born and always my baby girl. 

She has taught me so much about being a momma and I am so thankful to have her.
