Happy 3rd birthday sweet girl. We love you to pieces and can't believe it has only been 3 years!! Seems like you have part of our lives for many, many more. Some days, we are convinced you know we are still not quite sure what we are doing, as each new stage brings new challenges and you seem to know how to work the system better than any 3-year-old. We love that you are so independent and constantly telling us that you are big and can do it yourself. Today, you told me you will soon be big enough to drive yourself. We love that you hang on to every detail and have taught us that if we say "maybe later" just to change the topic, it will come up again later along with a reminder of exactly how and when we said it. We love that you show us you know wrong or right by asking us if you can do the "wrong things" - "Mommy, do we put our feet on the table" and that at bedtime you will fess up, like the other night as you were getting into bed you told me, "I touched the stove today." You know what you want, what you love, and are the queen on compromising. If we say you can read one book, we know you will ask "how about 2?" You are funny, smart, sweet and have the biggest personality. We are so proud of you and know Leigh will look up to you in so many ways.
We think 3 is going to be a great year!! But, wish you weren't getting so big so fast.
Love, Mommy and Daddy
