Three

Happy Birthday to my big three year old Elle! You seem like such a big kid now! You crack daddy and me up on a daily basis with your little attitude. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree :)
You're favorite thing lately is to sing and dance in costumes. You dress up everyday and sing your heart out to your favorite artist, Taylor Swift. She is your idol. I did not think this would start this early! You recently asked to have Taylor pictures in your room so I had to cut out her picture from magazines. They are hanging on your doll house walls. Pretty hilarious! You ask daddy and I "which one is your favorite Taylor?"...you crack me up girl! Gigi and Grandpa sent you a singing Taylor Swift Barbie recently for being potty trained. It is your new favorite toy! You sleep with her, play with her in the doll house and let her sing for brother!
You are potty trained FINALLY! This was such a huge source of stress for me! We had our battles over it but you finally gave in when you got a bad rash from wearing pull ups all of the time. Once you decided to wear panties, you never looked back! I am so so proud of you.
You never sit down and relax! You are always on the go. Even when watching a show you are bouncing all over the room. Brother just stares and smiles at you when you are running around.
You love arts and crafts! Mainly painting. You are quite the little artist. You also have begun drawing little people with smiley faces.
You are becoming very girlie. I thought you were going to be such a tom-boy but doesn't look like it. You love princesses and dolls. Jewelery and purses. Daddy got you a necklace for your birthday and you are so proud of it! It makes you feel so big!
You are still a little athlete and good at everything you try! We can not wait to get you in soccer! I think we are going to put you in dance as well. You twirl around the house like a little ballerina!
You love your friends so much! We are so lucky to have had the same play group since you were 10 months old. And you have made great friends at school as well. Speaking of school, you ask me everyday if you can go to school! You adore your teachers Miss Kay and Miss Jan!
We definitely have our battles on daily basis! You are a strong willed child but I know this will be a good thing when you are older. You are extremely emotional and I feel for you because I was the same way! You love deeply and that is such a beautiful trait!
We love Boots and can not wait to see what is in store for you this year. You make us so proud to be your mommy and daddy! XXOO
