It is so hard to believe, but our little jellybean is now a 3 year old! She had most of her birthday fun on her "party day" but did take some cupcakes to school on Tuesday and got a few more birthday presents on her actual birthday. She spent the morning playing at Outdoors In with her best friend Carson (and Max and Landon of course). We are so proud of our silly, sweet, caring, considerate, smart and gorgeous little girl!
I'll add a few fun facts about life with the 3 year old just for the sake of documentation :-) Alia is now VERY into Thomas the Train. He has taken over the throne of favorite cartoon from Dora. She loves watching Thomas, singing the songs and playing with trains. She also loves playing pretend with just about anything, making Max play Ring Around the Rosey and dancing. She is constantly asking us to play music so that she can dance around the house. Sometimes she practices stuff from dance class and other times she just wants to do "silly moves".
Alia still really loves books. She has the most amazing memory. She can "read" (recite) us whole entire books word for word. We think its pretty amazing! Her favorite books right now are her princess book, Cat In The Hat, Pinkalicious and Miss Bindergarten Gets Ready for Kindergarten. She also still really enjoys art projects like coloring, painting, play-doh, etc. We have started really practicing the correct way to hold a pencil so that we can get ready for writing. She is starting to really experiment with writing and trying to draw actual pictures.
Today was Alia's last day in the "Hedgehogs" class at school. When we return from break, she will move up to the "Frogs" class with the rest of the 3 year old crowd. I think she is a tiny bit nervous, but mostly very excited and ready. Also, when we return from winter break, Alia's dance class will find out what their song and costume will be for their dance recital that will take place in June. Lots of excitement around here.
