Welcome to the Jungle
Only 3 and a half years old, and already I can imitate the sounds of just about any animal you can think of. "Nay! Goes the horse!, Gobble! Goes the turkey, Whine! Goes the woosie boy!" I've matured a lot over the past few months. No more pull-ups for me - I'm an underwear girl now! I haven't had an accident in many many weeks. I'm all growed-up! I am fascinated with the act of going to the bathroom though - often getting up mid-poop to look at what's coming out. Especially the day after I've eaten two entire kiwis and my poop is a beautiful green color! "Look Dad! Green poop! Cool!"
As was expected, I have developed a love for all things "potty mouth". Pee-pee, poo-poo, and butt are my favorite words to repeat ad-infinitum...followed of course by energetic giggling.
Halloween was great fun! I was dressed as a "pumpkin fairy", and I walked around 3 blocks before deciding I'd had enough and heading home to watch kids get scared by my brother. He was sitting on the porch looking like a stuffed monster. When they got near him, he'd move and scream, and they would scream right back! For weeks before, my entire wardrobe consisted of Halloween-themed outfits. I also only watched cartoons that were about Halloween. As you can imagine, I'm moved on to the next holiday - Christmas! Now, I love to wear all my Christmas shirts and watch only Xmas cartoons! I love Santa! I might actually be willing to pose for a picture with him this year!
Speaking of people I love, I love to play a little game with my Mom now. I tell her, "I love Daddy, I love brother, I love Abuela, I love Grandma, I love Phillip (the old guy in the produce section of the grocery store), I love Annie (my best friend at daycare), I love Delilah (our dog), I love Claire (our other dog), I love Ashley (my cousin)...but I Don't love you!" She pretends to act all upset, and I just giggle and run away. Yeah. I'm a stinker.
If you thought I loved to sing before, you are in for a rude awakening. I sing ALL THE TIME now, often giving impromptu concerts with 3 or 4 songs in succession. When I'm playing alone in my play room, you can usually hear me singing to myself. It's fun!
At school, I'm involved in lots of other activities. I'm in a gymnastics class, a karate class, and soon I'll be in a dancing class too. I'm having so much fun! It's kind of hard to get me to leave the house, but once I'm at school, I'm happy.
I'm down to about 3 binkies now. All the rest have been lost or Claire has chewed them all up. I go all day at school without it, but the minute I get in the car, my binkie and juice cup better be waiting for me! Mommy says that they don't make binkies anymore, and when I lose the last one, I won't have a binkie anymore. My answer? "But I NEED my binkie!" I know I'm a big girl, and binkies are for babies. But I really really NEED my binkie! It seems that I need lots of things. I never say I "want" something, I always say I "need" it. "I need to watch Blues Clues!", or "I need a snack!", or "I need more juice!". Guess I'll turn into a needy girl, huh?
I'm turning more and more into a "Daddy's girl" now. Where usually I insist that "Mommy do it!", I'm now saying "Daddy do it!". As a result, he's the lucky one who gets to wipe me when I go potty. I like to sit next to him when he's around, with my head on his shoulder. Daddy's fun to snuggle with! If he's around, he's the only one I'll let refill my juice cup. That's his job.
I've been pretty healthy too. Except for around Halloween, when I got infantigo. (I think that's how it's spelled.) I had a bad rash and blisters all around my face. It was pretty ugly. It kept me out of school for a week - but it didn't hurt. I still have allergies, and when the winds start blowing, my head gets all stuffed up. I've learned to snort to deal with that. I just suck in with my nose and make a LOUD pig snort. It's really horrible for people to hear, but I think of it as just another "skill" I've developed.
Well, that's about it for the update I think. Now for the pictures, which I'm sure is what you greedy readers want to see!
