My sweet girl turned 3 last week! I seriously cannot believe she's already 3. I remember her first birthday, second birthday, and the first time I met her as if it was yesterday. Now, thats not to say there weren't some sleepless nights that I sure wanted to rush by, but all the other times we have with her... I want time to slow down! Maybe its because I know she's my last, but I've really taken notice to all the little things she does that make her who she is, and I still find myself watching her play, sleep, etc... just like when she was an infant. So cliche when you hear people tell you to enjoy them because they grow up so fast... but its so true.
Gracie makes us laugh on a daily basis. She loves to "pay pay-doh", run around the house and give a little "jump" every few steps, and before she goes to bed at night, reminds us to give her a "biiiiiiig hug". (always stressing BIG... as if we need reminding!) She's so affectionate, and will spontaneously pull us to her level to plant a kiss on our cheek, and no matter what she's doing, if you rub her back, she'll freeze. She loves her rubs!
Turning 3 has brought some overnight changes for her. Everyday we find ourselves hearing or seeing something new and "big-girl" she is doing. As happy as I am for her, I sometimes miss my baby! For as long as she has talked, she has called Lainey "Nee." No more (unless she's in a hurry). Now she calls her "Yainey." And the 24-piece puzzles that just last month we dreaded helping her with because it took FORever to complete... she is practically doing them by herself. She also started going to Lainey's big girl school last week. Now that was a hard one. I still stake out the playground to make sure she's not getting trampled by the bigger kids! That fence isn't too tall for me to jump over if I needed to. ;)
So, happy birthday(a week later) to my sweet, silly, loving Grace. We love you too much!
