And then she was 3

October 9, 2014

I know we all say it, but time flies. My baby girl is 3 years old today. 36 months. 1095 days. 26,280 hours (well almost, she was born at 11:59 PM on the 9th).

She is remarkable beyond belief. I never thought I’d know a love like the love I have for her. I could stare at her for hours. Kiss her cheeks a hundred times a day. Have her sit on my lap and snuggle every moment that she’ll let me. She is my princess, my comedian, my negotiator (everything is “that’s my deal”), my lover, my fighter and my best girl. She says I’m her best friend and I pray that she will say that every day forever.

I thought it would be fun to do a little interview with her because the girl is hysterical. She says things and we’re like, “What the heck, where did that come from?”

Me: How old are you?
A: 2, no 3.

Me: What is your favorite color?
A: Pink and purple

Me: What is your favorite animal?
A: A puppy and kitty and duck

Me: What is your favorite book?
A: How about The Very Itchy Bear.

Me: What is your favorite movie?
A: Peter Pan

Me: What is your favorite song?
A: How about Let It Go

Me: Who is your best friend?
A: Mama 🙂

Me: What do you want to be when you grow up?
A: A mama to my babies. (Sweetest thing I’ve ever heard).

Me: What is your favorite thing to do ?
A: How about play with babies. (I sense a baby theme.)

Me: If you had one wish, what would you wish for?
A: A flight to St. Louis.

Me: If you could go on vacation, where would you want to go?
A: How about a pumpkin patch.

Me: What makes you laugh?
A: When Maid Marian kisses a bunny rabbit. (From the movie Robin Hood. The cartoon version).

Me: What is your favorite thing to do with mama and daddy?
A: Play babies.

Thank you A for being a sweet, caring, loving little girl. You tell me everything is ok when I’m sad, and you don’t like anyone to be upset. You are always caring for others and making us feel so loved. You have this wisdom that is far beyond your age.
Daddy and I are so blessed to be your parents. We love you so much sissy. Happy birthday baby girl.

Awwww I just love that 🙂 She sounds like a sweetheart and I love that she says, “How about…” 🙂 I think she wants a little brother or sister 😉 And I laughed about her wanting a flight to St Louis….I’m sure you would never want that again :-p Maybe next time would be better. Happy birthday Little A!

I love how she starts so many of her answers with “How about…” LOL – that’s awesome.

Wishing you a lovely weekend my friend.

How sweet! I love that she says “how about” before nearly all of her answers. 🙂 Also, my niece said that when she grows up she wants to be a mama. My sister was so proud! Happy birthday sweet girl!
