My girl, my world, my everything.
Collins will be THREE in two very short months. I’m sure I’ll have another long, sappy post then… but a lot happens in two months in the life of a toddler so I wanted to do a little documenting on her now . This child. How I love her. Collins is sweet and sassy all rolled into one. She’s still very shy when we first get to a group gathering or party/etc. Give her about 30 minutes though and she’s good to do, running around and playing like normal. Mikey and I often laugh about how shy she is when we go to things because at home? WOW. The girl never stops talking, singing and being silly. She’s a MESS and she knows it. She LOVES to play with baby dolls, grocery store and play pretend. She can pretend play for hours and have a ball. Her favorite is to go to the grocery store with her dolls and “shop” with real food items and “monies.” She’s such a good little mommy to her dolls, and it’s so cute. She LOVES to look at pictures of herself on our phones (vain, much?)…and she loves to watch videos on you tube (cartoons, frozen, singing, anything)….she loves her princess books the most with starlight sailor coming in second. She’s become very opinionated about what she wears which definitely leads to some struggles some mornings if she doesn’t like what I pick out for her to wear. Sometimes I let her win, but generally not as she wants to wear summer dresses in the winter…ain’t gonna happen sister. She LOVES to wear dresses and generally always deems her cheapest/play clothes dresses as “the most bootyfull momma.” Go figure, right? She’s got the potty DOWN…took her about 6 weeks total before she was completely accident free, but after about 2 weeks the accidents were very far and few between. …..not nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be. I potty trained her right at 2.5…and she LOVES her big girl panties. I would say she’s good/sweet/listens well about 80% of the time…of course there are times when we have to use time out, or lose our patience, or she pitches a fit…but they really aren’t that often and never last too long. (Of course I’ve always heard THREE is way harder than TWO, so maybe we are in for it?! Who knows?) She is the BEST big sister and she has made me so very proud of how much she loves her little brothers. She’s always thinking about them and making sure they are okay. She loves to kiss them and play and lay with them. She’s never gotten jealous of them or been mean to them. She can be sassy sometimes, but mostly it just makes me giggle. I love this little girl more than life!
Some of the cute things she says right now:
What we hear ALL.THE.TIME.: I do it all my by self!
She calls Rapunzel, miss punzel..i mean have you ever?? Love.
“its okay buddies, momma comin…”
The other day she was counting money and I told her she was rich, she said “I not rich, I Collins.”
Mikey was telling her about the statue of liberty being a gift from France…from the French, and she said “ I not know french?” with her little hands up ….
Milly is still nilly
Lolly is still olly….
A few recent(ish) pics... Tried to put some on here that I've never blogged before.
Hehe. She's already done with this potty and only wants to sit on the big "Polly."
