**Since the last post, we have done so much! Your cousins came from Boston to visit for a week and you had so much fun with the boys. You and Jacob are two peas in a pod and I think we will have to keep a close eye on you both. You're little ninjas and act like brother and sister. You also started soccer lessons, which is kind of like an outdoor Gymboree class with a soccer ball but you are so good! You've got a mean kick and pretty good control of the ball, when you're not trying to pick it up and run with it, of course. I took you to Seattle last month for a little getaway with Nani, Nanu and Auntie Dre. We explored the city and ate so much. You especially loved the macaroons we got from a popular bakery. You ate an entire chocolate one yourself and you are still talking about how you want macaroons now.
We are now into May and I cannot believe it. This year has gone by especially fast so far and it's really sad! We've been looking for a preschool for you for so long but haven't gotten into one yet. You are more than ready for interaction with kids and a structured learning environment and I think you will really like it. Not to mention you already look like you could fit in with 4 year-olds! You're so tall that everyone assumes you are older than you are. Your vast vocabulary helps with that too. We can have a full conversation with you and your imagination runs wild with the stories you tell. You also don't skip a beat or forget anything! Your memory is better than mine, it's incredible! If we are driving around the city you know who's house we're going to, if we pass IHOP, or a shopping store. You rarely stop moving or talking at all throughout the day and do not like sitting still one bit! Your favorite movies these days include Cars, Minions, and Ice Age although Toy Story will always be your favorite and we cannot go anywhere without taking Woody, Jesse, or Buzz. You are so much fun and such a little sour patch. Super sweet but also super sassy. You're going to be a fierce, independent little girl. We've got lots of trips to Sea World and the Zoo planned any maybe even Disneyland again. We would love to take you to Cars Land!**
Now we are literally days away from your third birthday and starting preschool at Horizon on that day too. Prepare all the tears. It is a three day a week program, only for three hours but I think it will be great for you. I wish that I was able to be home with you every day or at least drop you off and pick you up from school. Being able to be a part of your day would really be so amazing for both of us. But I will be extra grateful for our Friday's together.We are planning on going to Disneyland to celebrate your birthday and hopefully seeing all of your favorite characters! I also want to take you to get your first manicure and pedicure at the nail salon. Ahhh!!! We are officially out of baby and toddler land, you are a little person with a lot of personality. You are wise beyond your years my love.
We have been taking advantage of summer and going to Sea World, the pool, the park and running around all over town. You have been loving all the fresh fruit and eating and playing outside. We got you a little paint set and that seems to be a hit lately too. The days go by so fast and before you know it our weekends are over. We tried taking you to the movie theater to see Finding Dory when it came out in June but that lasted all of about 40 minutes. A few weeks ago I took you back and we saw The Secret Life of Pets. You got antsy for the last 20-30 minutes but between my snacks and little tickles, we made it through the whole movie. Score! So many firsts and so many milestones to come!
And now, look at how much you have grown this year!
