{THREE}

Dear Colls,

 

Happy birthday baby girl.  Your daddy and I hope you have the MOST magical birthday ever, we have LOTS of fun planned just for YOU.  We both can’t believe you are already THREE (or “free” as you say)…but you are, and we couldn’t be prouder of the sweet little girl you have become.  You are silly, shy, funny, sweet, loving, stubborn, and loud all wrapped into one.  You couldn’t be more perfect.  We are so proud of the way you love your little brothers, always watching out for them and worrying about them if they are crying.  We are proud of how well you are doing in preschool and how much you love going to church.  We are proud of your kindness and sweet natured, positive personality.  You are the absolute light of our lives and we couldn’t be happier to celebrate YOU today.  

 

You are growing like crazy, talking and singing all the time, dancing everywhere, and are a pure delight, except for that occasional temper tantrum you like to throw our way!  You absolutely LOVE to sing and I’m thinking you are going to LOVE the karaoke machine Lolly and Granddaddy are getting you for your birthday.  You just started dance recently and of course, I absolutely love it.  No matter how long you decide to dance, I’m just so excited you seem to like it for now.  You love wearing your ballet shoes and tap shoes around the house and always tell me you learned “tap tap tap” at dance today.  You are sleeping like a champ (most nights) in your big girl bed…sometimes daddy has to talk you to sleep, but you always fall asleep fairly fast and stay in your bed all night……….(except for those times you get out and want to come get in our bed…we take you back about 80% of the time, but sometimes you are just too sweet and mama lets you cuddle with us.  )  You’ve recently (finally) started letting me curl your hair, and it is the sweetest.  You are obsessed with all things princess/dress up and baby dolls, and you love to pretend play.  We are so proud of the little girl you have become!

 

Daddy and I about had a fit the other night when you said this:

The other night you needed to go potty after you had already gone to bed…daddy took you and after a while, you said “my pee pee must be sleepin’ in my tutti.”  We about died, so cute.

*how hilariously cute, I wasn’t sure how these answers would come out, but she was on point for pretty much all of them except the last one….  I guess we’ve never really talked about ‘what do you want to be when you grow up?”…so I don’t think she really knew what that meant.  The first time I asked her favorite restaurant she said “food lion” bahahahaa…I said Collins, we don’t eat at food lion, hehe.  And I think she’s had chocolate milk like three times ever, most notably with her Lolly;-)
