3 Years, 1 month...I just keep getting bigger and bigger!

I really enjoyed my Dora birthday party. I was surrounded by people I love and who love me! I think I was a little overwhelmed by everyone and all the gifts! My play is getting more sophisticated now. I like to pretend that I am a mommy, which means I wear jewelry and shoes and walk around the house. I also like to make lemon cake and coffee with marshmallows for mommy and daddy. They say it is delicious! I'm learning so much at pre-school. We learned about Dr. Seuss (and I really want to see "The Worax", that is The Lorax), about my heart, about brushing my teeth, and all about leprechauns! I know they are tiny and green and will pinch you if you don't wear green, so I am making sure to tell everyone to wear green! I got sick with a fever a couple of times this month, and one lasted 4 1/2 days! Mommy and daddy took turns staying home with me, and I even spent a day with Nana Arden. It was nice to be with them, but I felt really miserable! Glad I feel better now! Mommy was gone a lot to meetings this month, so I got to spend lots of time with daddy. We all went to mommy's hometown to visit my grandparents last weekend too. We had so much fun! I got to cut flowers and even got to decorate a vase with stickers! Not just anyone would let me do that! When we were driving there, I saw a church without a roof and wanted to know "Where is that building's lid?" The weather has been so beautiful lately, and I was able to go to the park. Mommy and daddy were so proud-I was polite, waited patiently, took turns, and followed diretions. This was a couple days after I said, "stupid mommy" when I was upset. I learned that isn't a very nice thing to say. Other than that, I am really learning how to control myself and ask for what I want. Birthday girl with her Dora cake Cousins sharing a moment Great game!
