Three cheers for Alyson! She’s gone without diapers/pull-ups for a week now! She’s even been dry overnight, more often than not. We’re still at about 2 accidents a day, but she’s doing great! We’re SOOOO excited!
Next Sunday, my darling daughter will be three already. I’m not sure how that happened so quickly. She’s definitely acting three. She’s extremely independent, and has been testing out the word NO frequently.
She’s finally deciding that Brandon is a great playmate. Last night they were dancing together and chasing each other around the house and playing Ring Around the Rosie. She alternately wears two shirts (like Brandon) or no shirts (like Brandon). She still adores Christian, but she doesn’t push Brandon away as much as she used to. She insists she’s a boy and her new favorite color is blue (although she still chooses to wear lots of pink and is looking forward to her Hannah Montana birthday party next Monday).
She still loves her letters, and she points out every letter that belongs in her name. She loves to color and do puzzles and play computer and video games (you should see her play Mahjong with alphabet tiles on my Mac, or Plant Tycoon).
Did I mention she cut her hair a second time? Twice in about a week. The first time it wasn’t really noticeable, but this time it is. Not sure what we’re going to do about our family portraits (grumble). But she’s cute and we love her, really.
