Halloween

After a month of Lucy telling me she wanted to be a princess or pinkie pie...and for the last week of telling everyone she was going to be Elsa. We went to Trunk or Treat with Lily on Thursday night as a pink princess and then we cave-maned it up with the Solomon Family the next night. I would say Lucy had a good Halloween.
Lucy quote of the night- "That's scary, I tooted"

THREE YEARS OLD!

THREE YEARS OLD...
THREE YEARS OLD...
THREE YEARS OLD...

How does this keep happening? 
Lucy is all princesses and my little ponies! Last month was a good month. We had lots of fun. We made one last trip up to Donnally to the lake for the day. It was a perfect day. The weather was great and the drive was nice. She is a trooper when it comes to traveling, I think I have it all down to a science, movie and snacks at the ready. Traveling coloring books and toys. 
Seems like she grew like a weed this month, some how she has just shot up in height. 
Her imagination is fun. I could watch and listen to her play all day. Her little head seems to always have a song in it. She is always singing. Twinkle, Twinkle is still her favorite. Though while grocery shopping she sang I am a child of God at the top of her lungs. I could have died of cuteness over load. 
Her current favorite movies are Rio and How to train your dragon. Her favorite colors are blue and green. She asked me if she could wear a green dress, so I hunted down one green dress. Which she loves. I tried to put her in pants one morning and she yelled at me "I'm a princess! Princesses wear dresses!" Well excuse me! I am now educated in princess attire! sheesh.... I need to get her some winter dresses and tights. I had kind of hoped that the dress obsession would be over after summer, since its hard to keep her properly warm in the winter with just tights. But that's what princesses wear...
She will no longer let me put her hair in pig tails. So sad, apparently princesses only wear one pony too. I miss the pig tails, and can't wait for their come back. She looks too much older with one.
Her favorite foods would be Mac n' Cheese and chicken nuggets. She also loves to snack on apples and string cheese. I guess on the bright side, main dishes might not be the healthiest but her snacks can make up for it.
I am constantly surprised by the sentences she puts together, and how clearly she speaks. I hear her everyday and then she'll be with her dad for a weekend and I'll talk to her on the phone and I think wow when did she start talking like that! 
She can count and sing her alphabet. She knows her all her my little pony names, even the fake ones we make up are now permanent. 
I love the mornings, she gets up and goes potty, throws away her pull up and puts on her big girl underwear all by herself. And no I can't help. Any time I try I normally pick out the wrong princess panties. I figure at least she knows what she wants.
She and Frank are best buddies. I love it. Some nights when we are running a little behind schedule Frank will go to bed without her in his spot on the end of her bed. She loves to walk, pet and play with him. He is almost her sibling, though I get the impression that he thinks he is protecting her. When in reality I think sometimes he needs protection from her. She sits and lays on him, pulls his ears and tries to poke him in the eye and he just sits and lets her.
She loves puzzles, painting, and playing with stickers. She is always so happy to just do anything. 
I love that I can get her to do small things like put her panties away or sometimes the kitchen towels. I gave her a few hand towels to put in the cupboard, she looked at me, got really wide eyes and said "mom, the baby blankets are all clean! Thank you" Yup... who needs kitchen towels... that's why they make paper towels right?
Her other favorite thing to do is tell me Frank pooped on something if its dirty. While driving home the other night, Frank was sitting on her lap and she says to me "Mom Frank pooping on me". I think I got whip lash from turning around so quickly to see what was really going on. No, Frank didn't poop on her, but she thought she was hilarious.
She has also started to burp and toot...fart and then laugh herself into hysteria... and here I thought it was a boy thing. Never a dull moment with this little girl around. 
















Lucy,
On your third Birthday if there is one thing I could convey it would be this. You are loved. I pray that there is never a day in your life where you question it or don't feel it. You are a special little girl and you fill my life with light and joy. You are the strength that keeps me going. Your spirit fills this house. I love to hear you sing and talk. I love to hear the music of your laughter and see your glowing smile. I can not believe how quickly three years have gone and its even crazier to think of all the changes. I can't wait to watch you grow and see all the changes to come in the future. I love you and only want whats best for you.
