3 1/2 Going on 13

Well it's pretty impossible for me to remember all of the things that come out of this princess' mouth, but she is so smart. She thinks ahead, you can reason with her, she is really good at putting positive spins on things and she is super sweet. She says "I wuv you Mommy" out of the blue all the time and she'll lean in to hug me. She can be quite bossy, but she's very strong and secure and she LOVES her family. Her tummy seems to talk to her quite a bit. It tells her if it doesn't feel good enough to clean up, or to finish her dinner or if she needs to be carried. :-) She pays such close attention to everything going on around her and she doesn't forget anything. She is very compassionate with her brother and always helpful with him. She wants to make sure everything is equal with them. "Mommy, is AJ going to take a nap too? Did AJ eat lunch? I'm just making sure Mommy!" She loves to brush her teeth and wash her hands as many times as you'll let her daily. She wants to vacuum with me and clean with me and she can pretty much operate the Wii and DVD players all by herself. She isn't that great at going to bed at night...she just isn't a big fan of it...but she does sleep later in the morning and on the weekends she wakes up and asks me "Are you going to stay home today Mommy?" She loves it when we are all together. Christina's been potty trained for quite some time, she is able to dress herself including buttons and she REALLY wants to learn how to tie her shoes...but that's a bit tricky so we aren't there yet. She started going to school and she loves to learn, do crafts, play with her friends and she really likes her teacher. Grandma takes her and picks her up on Mondays and Tuesdays and then they go to Wendy's. Every. Single. Time. She loves to play with her friends and she ADORES and LOVES her cousins...the sun rises and sets on them! Yesterday at the park she said to Ashley "I am brave" and Ashley replied, yes, you are very brave! A little bit later she declares "I am not afraid of anything!" Gotta keep an eye on this little one! She is trying to teach AJ how to say her name, but she does get him to say THREE after she says one, two and GO after ready, set. She loves to run and have him chase her and they love to slide down the stairs together. Christina loves to wear clothes that have her favorite characters on them with the matching bows and she also likes dresses. She loves bows and jewelry and she REALLY wanted cowboy boots because Jessie wears them. She LOVES Jessie...she LOVES Toy Story and we have the best time reciting lines from our favorite movies. It's so much fun to be able to share things that just crack us up! There isn't really anyone there at night to tell us to stop giggling and go to bed! She's an amazing little person...a bundle of sunshine. Life is good for Christina and she makes mine better every day.
