1- I need to stop yelling "shut up" to the neighbors dog when Lucy is in bed...apparently she doesn't sleep through it...
Lucy, playing with ponies- "shut up! Rainbow dash!"
Me- "what did you just say?"
Lucy- "Rainbow dash is barking"
Me-.....awesome...."We need to say nice things when we are playing, okay?"
Lucy- "okay, but she not being nice"
2- Lucy has some how inherited both of her parents stubborn streaks...
Lucy- "Can I watch ponies? Please!"
Me- "Yes, we can watch 2 ponies after you put on your pull-up and jammies"
Lucy- "PONIES!", " I WANT PONIES!" for about an hour, naked in her room.
Me- "Put your jammies on and we will"
Over and over and over- on and off for about an hour till...
Me- "Lucy! Do you want to watch ponies?!"
Lucy- "YES! MAMO!"
Me- "Great! Put your jammies on and we will!"
Lucy- "....oh...okay... don't scream at me mamo..."
Me-......really?...
3- Lucy knows all the words to Love is spoken hear and Are you really there. Sweetest thing EVER!
4- Frank is an extremely patient dog
5- I am now called "Mamo" and Chad is "Poppie".
It was a good weekend, no complaints. I swear she grows noticeably older by the day! It's good to slow down and enjoy it. :) For the most part, it sounds funny but I felt like a real adult, I cleaned house, prepped meals, took Lucy to the park, rode bikes, colored and did puzzles, walked Frank, exercised, did some yard work and just enjoyed being around the house and Lucy. Life is good. Routines are feeling normal again.

Lucy and me
I've spent the last couple of days with Lucy. Just her and me, no outside anything. I watch her in awe. It is incredible how big she has gotten. She had strong likes and dislikes. She is independent, but likes to keep a close eye on me and what I'm doing. She is smart and quick. She keeps getting taller and growing. There is a part of me that aches for the days of cuddling her to sleep, or bathing her in the sink. The days before she could sit on Frank and pull his ears, when all she could do is watch him in wonder. Its funny the only way I can get her to wear tights or leggings under her dresses is by promising that she can take them off when she gets home. I love that she has taken an interest in helping me in the kitchen and other small house hold chores like putting away laundry or feeding Frank. Whenever I work out at home she is right there doing it with me. Her latest trick is unlocking the door when we get home. I give her the key and she runs to try and stick it in the door. I love, love, love that she tells me I'm her best friend and that she still wants to cuddle and have me hold her when shes tired or hurt. She is always so happy, no matter what is going on, other outsides stresses hold no weight when I spend a day with her. Making her ponies or barbies talk. building forts, taking pictures, reading books and playing puzzles. Slowing down and just enjoying her and where we are at is so important. I think I realize that everyday. She really is my sunshine.

January
Hello 2015!!! Let's dance.
Lucy, where to start. She is a smart little girl. She grows so fast. She is always happy and talking.
Her favorite things haven't changed much. She loves chicken nuggets and Mac n' Cheese. She still loves to color, play with stickers and draw. She loves to make tents and hide our in random places, behind the curtains. She loves Frank.
Mornings are her happiest time of day. She literally pops up once shes awake and is happy. She pets Frank and talks to him, and then turns to me and asks if Mom's awake yet? And then asks for a bar and milk, somethings don't change. But she will go potty and throw away her pull up and dress herself, I make modifications when needed like when she comes out in a summer skirt and sleeveless shirt, I make her put tights on and layer another shirt. She is rather an independent little thing. She figured out how to open the refrigerator, so I made her a drawer with yogurts, cheese and fruit (apples or grapes) Makes her pretty happy. But I can't keep her out of the fridge now.
The other morning she was in the bathroom and yells "Mom! There's poop coming out of me! LOOK!" Where does she come up with this stuff?
My favorite was the other day I gave her a snack and went to the bathroom. I could her her talking but couldn't quite make out what she was saying when she yells "mom! I'm talking to you!"
She can sit for hours and color or do puzzles. I'll sit with her and color and every once in a while she'll look over and say "oh, you color that for me?" or " wow, you color so good!".
The other day she saw a picture of me with short hair and said "why do you have Dad hair?"
She is always talking and says the funniest things. And she sings some random songs, one day it was Roomer has it and tonight it was Can anybody find me, somebody to love.My favorite was one day at the Solomon's house she was singing It's all about that bass, when her cousin Anna was like she's singing all about that bass! What can I say she has good taste in music.
She's gotten pickier about her hair styles, which kind of cracks me up. But she will specifically ask for an Elsa braid or Anna braids or a pony and sometimes she'll tell me she wants it long and pretty, like a princess.
She is a princess, Sometimes I'll ask her why she's so cute and she'll reply, "no, I'm a princess". She also always comments on what I'm wearing, I think she loves Sunday since we both wear princess dresses.
I can't believe she's going to be a sunbeam! Sometimes it seems like its time and other times I feel like she's still suppose to be my baby.
I look forward to this year and seeing where we are this time next year. So many things have changed in such a short amount of time, its hard to remember everything even with the blog. I love this little girl and am so thankful to have her. She adds so much to my life.

Christmas
Christmas was a success! I gave into commercialized gifts for Miss. Lucy. I think almost everything she received was Disney Princess or My Little Ponies. But what can you do, she was thrilled.
Santa made a special quick appearance around bed time, I think it encouraged her to go to sleep.
Lucy got a Frozen princess dress up box and an Elsa night gown. Every I turned around it was time for a wardrobe change. She loved her ponies. I think she was pretty spoiled.
My favorite, was she ripped one corner of a present open and saw blue fabric and yells "It's an Elsa dress!"
So thankful for the Solomon's willingness to take us in and spoiling us. Merry Christmas and Thank you to everyone that thought of us!

December!
The end of the year is here! Lucy is very happy to have the Christmas tree up. This morning she asked me to plug it in and then says never mind mom, I can do it myself.
After Thanksgiving I brought in her little pumpkin from outside, I put it on the counter trying to decide what to do with it. And there was a tiny skinny worm that was maybe 3 inches long. When Lucy saw it she screams, "a snake!" and runs to her room. She poked her head out a few minutes later and says to me " that was scary". Not sure what she will do if she ever come into contact with an actual snake or heaven forbid a larger worm.
Lucy continues to be the happiest content little girl around. She loves dress up, my little ponies and all things sparkly.
She will point at women with dresses on and ask me of they are princesses. I love working out with her, she mimicks everything I do and asks what we are doing.
She knows how to spell her name and has been obsessed with last names. If she hears someones first name she asks what their last name is.
Lucy and Frank are truly buddies, wherever she goes he is there with her.
We had a crazy big snow storm, When Lucy saw the snow she says "its Christmas!?" We had fun playing in it all day. She loved it.
Lucy has started telling me either, "we're not friends anymore", or "You're my best friend" depending on the situation. I enjoy the best friend, but not sure how to get her to lose the we're not friends anymore line.
Favorite movies are still Frozen and How to train your dragon.
She loves to sing. I think the most requested are Twinkle, Twinkle and You are my sunshine.
We stopped by the mall and visited Santa. She was pretty stoked about it. He asked her what she wanted, she told him presents. So he asked her what kind of presents she wants and she said "um the kind you can open". Too funny, he gave her a Christmas book and she was very happy about it.
Grandma Kim gave her a advent calender, and she has caught on very quickly that she gets a chocolate every day.
Its crazy how much she remembers, knows and learns from those around her. She is such a little sponge, I've learned it only takes once and she catches on, especially if its something I don't want her to learn!

November!
I think I say this every month so to keep with tradition...HOLY COW how does the time pass by so fast?
I look at Lucy and see a little girl- no more toddler, and no more baby. How did those days slip by so fast? I like to think that I enjoyed them to the fullest, cuddled her and played with her as much as I could. I look at pictures of her now and think how did she grow so fast? Her legs and arms are long and skinny. And even her sweet little face has matured just a little. Sigh...
Well 3 is here to stay, and its like most people say. Terrific two's, terrible three's.... Its almost like a switch! I know I can't complain, she is such an easy going, happy little girl.
While doing Lucy's hair, I was happy to put in pig tails! I had missed those SO much! Well it took two seconds and she says "no! ONE! One band, or you wont be my friend!" In my head I was like what did you just say to me! and out Loud I said, "Say please, one band" How did she already learn the your not my friend line? sigh...
Listening to Lucy sing herself and Frank to sleep is one of my favorite things about bed time. She will sing for at least a good 15 minutes, anything from our regular bed time songs to all songs Disney and princess.
Lucy is always a princess, no matter the game we are playing. She was crawling around the floor with a blanket on her back and I asked "are you a turtle?" And she said "Yeah, A princess turtle" Well duh how could I have missed the crown and pink blanket-
This little girl seems to know what she wants. She clearly asks for specific foods toys and books. And heaven help me when I have no idea what she is asking for. While helping her look for bear I asked her if she looked in the toy box and she pointedly looked at me and said "yes, I already looked in there!"
She has memorized movies and it's pretty funny to hear her quote movies as she plays with barbies and ponies.
There is currently a ad running about kids, and it shows s class room of kid shaped sponges- they nailed it! She is a sponge and picks up everything, its crazy how fast she learns a song or repeats my phrases.
Taking her to the park is so fun now! For a long time it involved me climbing and going down all the slides with her and buffering her from the other kids...yeah I know I'm "that" mom. But recently she had become brave on her own and will run around and climb and yell "look at me mom!" I LOVE it! Every now and again she hangs and swings off things that make my heart stop for a minute but I think its great that she is adventurous and energetic.
Little miss was sick for a week or so. Poor kid was throwing up and just sad and restless. Hate seeing her miserable...also hate cleaning up puke...around 2am she came in and snuggled next to me and threw up, nothing makes you move faster than the thoughts of throw up soaking through everything on your bed. I jumped up turned on the lamp and Frank was eating it off of her...at that moment I was some what grateful he was helping clean it up...also very grossed out- I had to take her to work the next morning for a couple of clients and she was so good sitting and playing with her ponies when randomly she says "my mom screams at me". My client laughed and said "tell me all about it Lucy". So Lucy then tells her how I screamed at her because she puked on her dress and cried. Awesome...when am I getting my mother of the year award? I did some yelling mostly AHHH NO! stay right there! and Don't put your hands in it, yuck!
The joys of mother hood hehehe wouldn't trade it for anything.

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"
