This was a fun birthday for Kylie (and us) because she totally understood what was happening. A week ago we told her that her birthday was in 1 week, and she would say, "only one more week till my birt-day!" Then the day before her birthday we told her that it was tomorrow and she would say, "Tomorrow I be fwee!"
She opened Alyssa and Trevor's presents first thing in the morning. Trevor and Alyssa always get so excited for Kylie's birthday, but Trevor was especially excited this year. He was bouncing off the walls at 6:45 a.m. and ran around and woke up Kylie, Alyssa, and me.
Kylie was pretty tired from being woken up so early. After she opened her presents she just laid on the couch, so quiet. I asked her how old she was now so this is her showing me 3 fingers.
Her birthday pancake. She didn't want to blow out the candles. For some reason she just wanted to suck on her hands...?
Later in the day when Mark got home from work, she opened our presents. She loved her shopping cart and immediately went shopping at "Target" (she said, "I go shopping at Target now") and loaded her cart up with pretend food and items around the house.
Kylie loves Disney characters from watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and is always talking about Daisy Duck...
Her princess cake that Daddy picked out...so cute!
Again, she didn't want to blow out the candles...? Trevor helped her out. :-)
Enjoying her yummy birthday cake...
Kylie was thrilled to see this new Princess bike from Grandma and Grandpa Telford. :-)
Well my youngest is not a baby, or even a toddler anymore. She has told me a few times since her birthday that she is "a big girl" now. And she is! But she's still so cute and tiny. I'm not very good at journaling, so...a few things about Kylie:
*She is really easygoing and good at entertaining herself. She has the best imagination of all of my children and will talk to her babies and Little People and play pretend. I love to quietly watch and listen to her as she plays.
*I love the 3 year old brain...I took her to Build-a-bear today with some of her birthday money, and she named her stuffed bunny "Foo-fee." And she has been talking to foo-fee and calling her foo-fee all day. Haha, love the name.
*She takes herself potty all by herself now, YAY!
*She HATES to have her hair brushed. She starts crying the second the brush touches her hair, even before there is a tangle. Then she puts her hands in her hair so I can't brush it...it's a struggle, every morning.
*She has a hard time saying the "S" sound especially when followed by a consanent. So she can say sun, soup, socks, but spot is pot, story is tory. So I will say, "Kylie, can you say...sssss-tory?" and she'll do it. So now, if I ever can't understand what she is saying she thinks "sssss" is the answer. One time she was saying she wanted to play with the lion and I couldn't understand what she wanted, so she was like, "Ssssssss I want to play with the lion!" She does that every now and then. :-)
*She LOVES to do laundry! She gets SUPER excited about it. It is funny. If she hears me in the laundry room, she will come running and say, "Don't do laundry wit-out me!" I put the wet clothes from the washer on the dryer door and she pushes them in, and then puts a dryer sheet in. She'll also say, "Mom! The laundry's done!" sometimes a few times a day...even when I'm not even doing laundry, in hopes that there's laundry to be switched to the dryer. She also LOVES to sort through the laundry basket full of clean clothes and put everyone's clothes in to their own separate pile. She's going to make a great little mommy someday. :-)
Kylie we love you! Happy Birthday!
