Madelyn: 3 Years Old

Madelyn Joy,

You are 3 years old!  How did you become so old?  We are so in love with you little goose.  You have grown up a lot in the past year.  Talking up a storm.  Surprising us with something new everyday.

Some of our favorite phrases you say are:

"Whatcha doing?" or "Whatcha watching?" or "Whatcha eating?"
"I love you."
When mommy's cooking you pull your stool from the bathroom over and say, "I'll help you cook, mommy"
Saying all your bible verses and being so very proud of them.
Repeating our prayers and then adding in your own thoughts

Here are some of your 3 year old stats:

-You weigh  30lbs. and are 35" tall

-You wear size 7 shoe, 3T tops, pants and PJ's

-Some of your favorite foods are chicken chili, pizza, mac and cheese, goldfish, cheese/crackers/pepperoni, apples, any sweets

-Still drinking just water and milk

-Potty trained during the day and very good about getting up on the potty if you need to go.  Still wearing a pull-up during most naps and at night time.  You are pretty dry during naps, but still wet at night.

-Getting in the last of your molars.  Hooray!

-Talking all the time.  It takes you forever to eat because you're normally talking the whole time.  We love listening to you little girl.

-Napping in the afternoon for around 2 hrs.  Going to bed around 7:30pm and getting up around 8am.

-Still poking and pushing your brother a little bit.  I'm sure this will continue throughout life.  You're not a fan of time-outs though!

-You started dance class last fall and absolutely love it!  You are so precious to watch and really like your teachers, Miss Megan.

-Your favorite TV shows are "Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood", "Dora" and "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse"

-You have a strong opinion on what you wear and how you do your hair.  You're finally coming around to mommy fixing your hair in something other than a headband.

Love you baby girl!

-Mommy and Daddy
