3 Years and 1 Month Old!

Emily is 3 years and 1 month old today!  She is growing bigger, stronger, and cuter every day.

Here's what's going on this month:

- She has picked up "but why?" at school.  Now everything is "But WHHYYYY? WHY Mommy?"  It was cute for the first couple of days... :)

- She can ride her bike and pedal and steer at the same time.

- She saw the number 2010 the other day and said, "Look Mommy....'fousand ten!"  I was floored!  Her class does calendar math every day so I guess she's picking up on it!

- She can get herself fully dressed- all clothes!

- She can zip her own jacket.

- She can cut with scissors and use liquid glue.

- She can count to 28.

- She can make a snake with Play Doh.

- She is getting so much better at cooking with me.  Paul even braved letting her stand on a chair and help with making pancakes!  I was shocked and scared but she did so well.  She is doing better with following directions when we cook together.

Overall she's had a great month.  She is acting out a little more (maybe she has realized Audrey is here to stay?) and we are working through it.  Some days I feel like she's the most irrational person in the world, haha!  My friends who have 3 year olds tell me that they're kids are doing it too so I guess it's par for the course.  When is her next birthday? ;)  Just kidding.  She is my sweet big girl and I love her more every day (even on the hard days).  Make sure you check out her pictures on the Albums page!
