Danica you are officially a PREschool 3 student! The transition has not been necessarily smooth but we are in it for a month now. You started as a 3 day a week full day student and that turned in to a 3 day a week half day student after the first day. That means that Mommy gets to pick you up and take you to Kathy's and we get to go on dates on Fridays. We went on our first date to McDonald's and we had such a great time. I never knew that apples and ketchup are a combination, but boy do you love it.YUCK! I am excited for all the other dates we will have this year!
Each day we drop you off or pick you up you don't want us to leave you but we reassure you we are always in our heart and we will always be there for you. Daddy pretends that he stays outside the whole day because you told him too! Each day gets a little better but for the most part I think a lot of it is that you may be tired. At least I hope that it is and its just a phase because it is so hard to see your sweet little face sad. You told me last week that you are not going to school, you are going to stay home by yourself. I told you that you can't do that because you are only 3, but that didn't phase you the least bit. You told me then you will put me on the naughty list, I am pretty sure you have put Daddy, Me, Charli, and Grandma on the naughty list and the funny thing is you actually write something on a list! You let me know that you will cry at school but just a little, it is only 3 and a half hours, kids your age, PE class, church, music, crafts, sounds so fun....no more tears I tell you no more tears. You laugh and tell me you will cry but like I said we are making it through.
The fall has really flown by with the beautiful weather ( a week stretch of 90' and 80' on 10/9) and the activities we have pack in the entire week, every week. Part of your schedule is dance on Mondays with Miss Jaime. You are doing a terrific job and again you don't want us to leave you so we peek through the curtain and watch you do your shuffle steps! You have also taken a science class and really enjoy watching Charli play soccer. Let's be honest you do so many things in a day I don't know how you don't fall asleep mid-action; wait actually you do!
You are full of scrapes and bruises, you are more tough than I could have ever imagined. Kathy took you to the park and you fell out of the stroller on your face, ROAD RASH so bad, and then she proceeded to almost run you over because she had no idea you had fallen. You questioned her, "Kathy are you trying to kill me," oh Danica she held you so tight she would never try to hurt you. A few little whimpers, a phone call to Mommy, and Daddy came to get you and we were all better. Your face has healed remarkably and thanks to almost a week of no school you wouldn't even know it happened. You told me last night you need to get the "raisins off" as you were pulling at what is left of a scab. You didn't want Mrs. Fisher to see your boo boo and you pulled it off and said you were all better! Yes, you are something else. Now let me remind myself that whenever I set up family pictures some kind of injury is going to happen with almost certainty and of course this happened Thursday and we had pictures on Sunday. I guess that's life. Either way, scrapes or no scrapes, you and Charli looked just beautiful. I cannot wait to see the pictures. The ones we took on Daddy's phone were beyond stunning. You and Charli are just BEAUTIFUL, words don't do you any justice!
The charisma you exude is almost too hard to describe as well. You really are your own little show. The excitement and wonder you have in your eyes makes life so awesome. The things you say and do leave us laughing and shaking our heads. You just talk and talk and talk all the time. The other day you used " Freaking out" in a sentence. Ridiculous is "diculous." Lighting continues to be flashlights. I even think you told me that someone "must be very crabby!"
You love to face time and talk on the phone, and the funniest thing and most consistent of all your conversations is you ask, "you coming to my house," and no matter what without question whoever you call you ask where someone else is." Example you call Grandma, your first question is always "where is ERIC?" It is still so funny. We know it is going to happen but it is still so funny.
The rebellious side of you comes from your addiction candy and gum. You and Charli are manipulators with candy and gum. You are not to have candy and gum. Oh and suckers, it is an addiction for you both. I know they are yummy but it is almost like the real addiction is being defiant. I had to call Officer Mike to speak with you and Charli and though you were both hysterical and in tears the lesson is yet to be learned. If that is the least of my worries right now than so be it. The biggest of your worries is changing your clothes at least 10 times a day and I am serious. I do more pink laundry than the pink panther's Mom and that is a fact. You love to wear Olaf shirts and Elsa Anna as you call it, with polka dot pants. I mean you look so cute and trying to stop you is like trying to stop a hurricane so it is what it is.
You are a little girl beyond your years. You are so bright, well spoken with your little lisp, compassionate, and caring. You are so concerned when something is wrong and so able to handle yourself if something happens. You tell us if a stranger comes and tries to get you , you will "punch them in the face, give them blood, and send them to the sky." You show us your tough punch your kick and your mean face, I am warning people, watch out for Danica! You are able to express emotions and this is so apparent when you read us stories and fluctuate your voice and tell us what the characters are feeling. You have some of the best stories and they are so captivating- theater might be your thing. We have gone to numerous plays and I have asked if you want to go on the stage and you say yes, we will see how that pans out. As for now, we are audience members enjoying both shows, one being you.
It is awesome how well you communicate because you give us every detail and are very articulate. Hence why you are such a good story teller and why you can never keep a secret which is the best thing. You even know your birthday how many 3 year old can say that!
Being in our new home for a year now, the past few months have proved to me that we moved to the best place for all the right reasons. You have so many friends on our street and you love all of them especially Mason. There was a day you yelled out the window for Mason and he told his Mom he has to check on Danica and ran over. Mason is also 3 it is beyond adorable. The girls we live by have such unique names and you make them your own. You love Vangeline & Mearbel. When you see anyone outside you think it is an open invitation for you to go outside and run to their house and I mean run. You are the most active kid on the block. You jump on your bike with your light up bug helmet and you are off, you have no fear and you are soooooo fast. Fast in spotting anyone outside, fast in getting out of the house, fast in getting to someone else's house, fast on your bike, fast on the ziggle, fast in all ways to be 3 and be FAST! You even wear fast nike's! Oh and fast to get in the fridge, get snacks, and get Popsicles!!!!!!!
I think it is awesome how well you get along with Charli. I love how you look up to her but how you also stand on your own. You were so excited this week that both you and Charli were able to go to Kathy's for the day since we had no school, but Mom and Dad had to work. You asked about it for weeks! What a great day you had. We are so blessed how well you get along, how much you giggle with one another, and how much you love each other. Pink teddy in her hand, and Green frogy in yours we are the luckiest parents alive.
I have to say you engage in competition, at times healthy, and at times not so much. This usually comes in expressing yourself when Charli is talking you try to talk over her or when it comes to singing you like to sing alone and Frosty of course is your go to! Oh and of course "Good Morning Baltimore," since you cannot get enough of the musical Hairspray. Can you even keep up with all of this, when I said you are busy I meant it, you even drive Auntie Ter and Uncle Neil's boat, how many kids can say that. With you and Charli my life is anything but boring and my days are always full but my heart is the fullest of all.
Oh and so I don't forget I did my own photo shoot of you in our backyard for turning 3. We hugged trees, we stood on the fence, we ate tomatoes. Just me and my baby girl, my baby baby Danica. Love you pannie- poohnie.
Halloween is around the corner, I can't wait for what is in store! xoxoxoxo
