Kayson and I were able to spend the day with Cora - we hung out this morning, got K's hair cut, then went to my work and had lunch with a few of my work friends. Cora did pretty well throughout all of it, a few meltdowns, but nothing surprising! Cora took a nice nap, then we had a good evening together. I reminded her it was her birthday about every hour. :) I even painted her toes and finger nails. She loves them!
Our 3 year old - our beautiful daughter -- I love her so damn much.
Some of the major things going on right now are:
- Counts to 35... misses some numbers, but is getting the jist of it.
- Recognizes nearly all the letters of the alphabet. Daycare teachers say "she's a smart little girl."
- TALKS ALL THE TIME. and I think she's a great little talker, we understand her all the time.
- Potty training is going ok. She was doing really well about a month ago, then Quincy passed away, and she started to revert. But I can say over the past week, she's finally starting to show interest for us at home. At daycare, she does really well - they are on 'it' all the time - every 45 minutes pretty much. Regardless, she's doing well... just gotta keep at it.
- Loves her baby dolls - specifically Baby Annie and changing her diaper. Baby Annie poops a lot!
Basic information:
- Clothes - mostly 4T, tops we can do 5T or big girl 4. Again - longer torso, so we need the longer shirts, not the wide ones! I've figured out brands pretty well!
- Shoes - size 7 or 8, depending on brand.
- Diapers - size 5
- Showing some interest in movies a little more... and some cartoons. She likes Dora, but won't really watch it for much longer than 4 minutes! She still likes 'Frozen'.
- Loves to do art - coloring, markers, paint, stickers, etc.
- She likes to sing still - we have some favorites, including some church songs, which melts my heart. Loves music in general - loves to sing in the car, and gets hooked on certain songs.
- Loves books.
- She's attached to her 'softie' - needs it when she's tired/bedtime.
- Finally showing interest in brushing teeth... she wants to do it, but also lets me finally!
- Eating is still a rollercoaster. Sometimes she eats every last drop, sometimes not a bite! And still won't eat vegetables.
- Still a great sleeper. Bed around 7:30, have to wake her at 6:30 on weekdays. Weekends - she'll sleep til 8ish sometimes, but mostly up around 7:30. She's specific about her blankets - wants at least one of the soft ones layed on her pillow.
