3 1/2 Years...Having fun and growing up!

I did some very big girl kind of things this month! I started using spit out toothpaste, and tried to stop sucking my thumb using a thumb guard. I had to wear it all the time and it was hard to do. Mommy and daddy found me sucking my other thumb, so they put another thumb guard on that thumb, and then I started to suck my fingers. We decided this wasn't the right time to try and quit. I had my first play date that I chose. I got to bring my friend Brynn to The Little Gym after she played at my house. We went out for lunch and ice cream after. It was so much fun, we got together that weekend at the park, and again at the spray park a couple weeks later! She's my BFF! I took swimming lessons and learned how to blow bubbles, kick and float. Miss Abby said I did great, but I didn't really like getting my face in the water.
I had several family visits too this month before mommy went back to work. Papa Ron and Nana Carol came up to visit for mommy's birthday. Mommy and I went to Washington for visits too. I swam in Papa Ron's big pool with my cousin Chase and had a fun time. I visited Grandma Kathy and got my hair cut. We also went out to Great-grandma Rose's and then out to Dairy Queen! Later that week, we got together for Aunt Lisa's birthday at Nana Arden's. I went swimming with my cousins and swam at least 5 times up and down the pool with my life jacket on! I just needed my older cousins there to show me I could. I spent one evening with Nana Arden when mommy and daddy were both at work.
When mommy tells me she loves me, I tell her, "I know. I wrote it on my heart." I can also sing "You Are My Sunshine" and mommy loves it! My favorite color changes every day now, but during the Olympics, my favorites were gold and silver, and I kept shouting, "Let's go American states!"
Mommy and daddy are both back at work now, so I am back at pre-school full time. What a great summer!
