Trying to keep you busy isn't the easiest thing to do since you are the busiest kid I have ever met, but I try. You are also in T-ball/soccer and can you believe it ... you are an ice skater. You asked me if you are going to keep falling on your butt? and how come the big kids don't fall? I told you the more classes you take the less you will fall so you agreed to enroll again. That's my girl! Strong and steady wins the race and strong is an understatement to describe you. Don't worry I have you in snow pants to pad your butt and a helmet just in case. Speaking of needing a helmet, Danica you on your bike is the craziest site and no one can take their eyes off of; you are SOOOOOO fast. So fast, that you blew the tires on your bike and we had to get another one. SO fast that you can stop on a dime and don't seem to have a fear in the world! You love to ride bikes and so does Charli so if the sun is shining that is what we are doing. Cheers to living in a court.
Now let's talk about things you say; you like to tell me that your heart is beating and I tell you that is great because it means you are alive, but that doesn't really soothe you. You get this upset disappointed face, no sure why. You like to talk about the police and that they can help you, although you want nothing to do with them still. Well, you did tell me you are "going to be police" when you grow up... among other things. You do a little wink and finger point at Dad and I, actually you do a finger point motion in most things you do and it makes you look very official. You told Aunt Terry her food tastes like dog food. You repeatedly call and hang up on Grandma on face time and then have a fit when she doesn't answer. You text from our phones whenever you can get your sneaky hands on them! You have face timed my friends 30 times in a row and also take photo bursts of up to 300 pictures in a matter of a second, no wonder my phone is FULL. Kathy told us that while you were earning your dollar helping her she asked you to get something and you told her that this is the last time and she "needs to start doing her own job." Let's see, the other day you told me, "I don't love all of God's creatures," and I asked you why not, at that point you were looking up hands crossed and said, "God please get rid of the ants." You are definitely a narc and let us know what is going on with everyone in your class and at Kathy's. You are full time reporter at age 3 and it is so funny because we know when you are lying, you start to repeat things thinking of your story, and when you tell the facts you are very matter of fact and your eyes get really big and you say, "Did you know that." You have such an interest in families and people. Who is your uncle, who my husband is, if I love Daddy. Every day constant questions. My favorite is when you asked Grandma if she is married to Uncle Eric and she said no, and you asked if she would kiss Uncle Eric. You are so silly. Then you ask is Eric your baby, to Grandma. Then you want your own baby. You pray for a baby brother all the time, and when I told you it was summer, you said yeah my baby brother is coming. Then you asked, where is he?" This is a lot with River too, you want to know when he is coming back from the sky because you miss him. I think when I told you he is with Jesus and safe and healthy and he has to stay there it may have given you some closure, we will see. We are in that stage that we never know what you are going to say, so we have to pick and choose our places and audiences. You are very aware of people and your surroundings and people's characteristics which is a great thing, but we need a little more of a filter.
It is now official that you have finished preschool 3- and all you can say is," whooo hoooo party." You are always asking for " the weekend," so now my dear you have a 100 day weekend. You will be in so many fun things this summer: ice skating, gymnastics, swim lessons, cooking class, preschool sessions with your best friend, Maria ( best of luck teachers) and a few crafting classes if I can remember. Days will be filled with the pool because you have your puddle jumper and no fear so the big pool it is! You in your frog googles, the cutest kid at the pool, by a landslide.
When you developed a rash for two weeks this spring and we took you to the Doctor twice, for no reason at all, well yes for piece of mind. Dr. Charles said you have very healthy bruises... yes you are a beast. Well you told Dr. Charles as you tell many others, " you know what Dr. Charles, boys are bad news." No one can help smiling when they are around you, how could they.
If curiosity killed the cat, I am glad your name isn't Felix.... because Danica no one could be more curious, interested in everyone and everything around them, or more vocal. The way you have found poopy and pee songs from Alexa - my head just spins. You are so smart, so interested in doing everything yourself, and so opinionated, that no one believes you are 3. You exceed in all benchmarks and I am so proud of your ABC's, songs, memorization, identification of letters, numbers, words, you manipulation of technological devices, psychomotor skills, speech ( even with you adorable lisp), and honey you are the sweetest little one who still wants upy! Grandma calls you little one, so that means you call all of us, Little one." Okay little one you say"- warms my heart. Every day you greet that day with enthusiasm of what we are going to do, even at 6 am and it is around that time you want an icy pop or popsicle. You are definitely your Grandpa! Boy would your Grandparents have gotten a kick out of you. I can only imagine you telling Grandpa you want to go to the race track, I can see him shaking his head now.
We are all waiting for what you say or do next. I love you Little
Toonie. Keep brushing your teeth all over the house, ruining your bike tires,
getting rid of the ants, eating popsicles, riding Reilly boots, and being as
cute as you can be. WE love you always.
