Oh, Miss Meghan. How you became three years old in the blink of an eye. You are quite the independent one. Sometimes. Mostly happy. Adorable and, very obviously, much aware of this fact.
One of the ones you have wrapped around your finger is (Great) Uncle Barry. We went over to visit Melinda who was in town, and, I'm sorry to say, Melinda's Daddy forgot about her at the delight of entertaining you the whole time. Including playing dress up to play the "piando".
Mostly an obedient child. We do have our battles at times and no mild battles for you. If you are staging war, it's a full out battle. And you know when you've been good. Very proud to report that you didn't bite or didn't "knock the shelf off"... working on teaching obedience at every turn but, thankfully, those lessons don't seem to be that often.
You love to read. And we have a complete melt down at night time when we don't read. You are learning your letters and like to practice tracing them at school. You know about 10 letters and their sounds. Always easier when it's related back to white baby, sissy, Meggie, Bubba, Dora, Nanny... "What something else starts with?" - you like to practice. And you can pick out some letters in our books. Current favorite book would be"Go Dog, Go" which you like to quote and "read". You do have an amazing ability to recall stories and lines in books. And to learn it so fast.
This house is in full out dress up mode. And you have plenty of princess outfits, purses, clackies (dress up shoes), hats, necklaces... There was a one week interval not too long ago in which you wore the Snow White outfit pretty much on a daily basis.
Super content to entertain yourself especially for the opportunity of craft time. Our days are so structured that really the only time for such sit down busy time is on the weekend. We head out the door at 720-730 during the week after a quick get ready and, sometimes, small snack. Daddy usually takes and picks you kids up - and you are super excited when I do it. We usually get home between 6 and 630 for a way-too-often-rushed supper, clean up, playtime, bath, books, and bed. Seems like we never see you which makes us eat you up when we do!
You new songs to request in the car is on your VeggieTales CD where we have the luxury of two Jonah songs. And you want to only hear the first one. I love hearing you learning the lines to the different songs. Sometimes you actually request to hear the old-style church songs again - maybe there is a musician in there! And always a fan of playing with Daddy's "Bih-tar".
For some reason you are regressing. By this, I mean that all of a sudden it isn't "I can do it" but "I need you help me". As in, I can't pull down my pants, I can't put on my socks... and potty accidents at school after going months without. Don't know if it has to do with the younger kids in your class at school, or the adjustment to spending some time in the "big girl" class, or Bubba getting attention. We've been struggling with how to respond to this; you have been promised that you will get spankings and not get to watch Dora after potty accidents. We figure this is okay because it's not really about you not being able as we know you are completely able. You rarely have accidents at home. This is more about your stubbornness... I think.?
The above picture was during one of these stubborn phases. You stayed at the table after all of us all because you wouldn't try the one sweet potato fry. When given the final option of eating it or just going to bed, you opted for sleep.
Speaking of Dora, it's all about Dora and "Ti-e-go" these days. Big into quoting "I know that we can do it" and "Vamanos!".
Speaking of being wrapped-around-fingers... Memma and Pop came for a quick visit while Mommy and Daddy went to New Orleans.
You are our cuddler, singer, entertainment, reader, pig-tailed, shy, sweet little girl. And we love you so!
