3!!!

Sienna,
How did you get to be 3 already? It sounds so old and you act every bit of it. I read a blog where they called it "threeanger." Every time we have to wake you up in the morning as you moan for us to turn the lights off and yell that you don't want to get up, I picture you (and myself) as a teenager. You still have a very sweet and empathetic personality with a bit a sass thrown in. And you are the ultimate charmer. You charm the pants off everyone we meet from the cashier at Target to the pastor at Kensi's baptism. Your charming skills also brings on lots of negotiating. Your Daddy is convinced you will be in sales someday. If you don't like our answer, you will think of another way to get what you want. You are extremely articulate for your age and I love the things that come out of your month. One of  my favorites, "Mommy, I have a GREAT idea!!" and then you either repeat something I just suggested or come up with a new idea and giggle afterwards. My other favorite is whenever you want to cuddle you ask us to, "Nuggle" with you. You are such a cuddler too. I love it.

You also love to sing. It started with "I like to move it, move it" from Madagascar. Then it turned into normal kids songs like ABCs, Ring Around the Rosey, and now you sing about everything and anything. The other day you sang, "Look both ways when you cross the street! Take an adults hand." over and over and over again.

Some of your other favorite things to do:
Dancing and watching your dance recital video, while dancing to all the songs.
Playing dress up
Riding your trike
Reading books - you are especially into your Tinkerbell and Friends books set
Wearing dresses and skirts

Becoming 3 also means big changes. We took the railings off your bed and made it into a princess tent. You were pretty hesitant to take those sides off, convinced that you would fall out of bed. We had to talk it up for a few weeks before you turned 3. It also means you are starting preschool! You are leaving Bita's and going to a full time preschool. You are very very excited to go to school, although a little disappointed that you don't get to take the bus there. You start in a couple weeks and I'm sure that will be a post in and of itself. You are fully potty trained now and only wear pull ups at night and sometime for nap.

As much as Daddy as tried to stop this, your teething toothbrush has become one of your favorite loveys. Before you go to sleep every night you line up all of your friends in their certain spots. If anyone is missing we have to go searching to find where Conner relocated them. Daddy and I have both tried to remove toothbrush from your bed but no such luck. You spot that he's (yes toothbrush is a he) missing right away.
