Happy Birthday Lucy Jane!

Lucy Jane turned 3 and I really can't believe it!  I know Moms says that when their kids turn a year older, but 3 seems so old.  It seems like she is officially a kid and not a toddler anymore. It makes me sad but it also makes me happy because she is a lot of fun right now.  We definitely have our rough days when both of us get frustrated or when I have to apologize to her for not being patient or understanding and I can see some hard times in our future, but in the end she really is the sweetest little girl ever.  She made my day yesterday when she said, "Mommy you look so pretty" and then later she said, "Mommy, thank you for my breakfast and thank you for everything."  Those sweet comments make up for the melt downs that she has on the floor of a store or over not wanting to wear a particular outfit.  I am so thankful that the Lord has blessed our family with her.  She has a big heart and I pray that her heart will continue to get bigger and bigger with love for the Lord and for others.

A few things about Lucy the 3 year old:
*She LOVES school.  She always wants to go to school and see her friends.  She won't ever tell me much about school but her teachers say she is great and loves everyone.
*She LOVES princesses - any of them.  Currently her loves are Cinderella and Rapunzel, but if you ask her who her favorite princess is she will probably list like 5 or 6 for you.
*She loves all the high school kids that are around.  She calls them "guys and girls."  She thinks they are her friends and talks about them all the time.
*She always wants to show off her tricks.  About a million times a day she will say, "hey Mom watch this trick" and it will usually involve twirling or jumping.
*She really LOVES Miles.  She always wants to play with him and can't wait to see him in the morning.  She can definitely make him cry but she can also make him laugh like no one else can.  I hope they are best buddies.
*She loves any kind of sweets and will do anything to get a taste of them.
*She still takes about a 2 hour nap everyday and sleeps really well at night. She stays in her bed until we come get her, she really is so good.
*Her favorite colors are pink & purple and she prides herself in knowing ALL the colors. 
*She loves jeggins & requests to wear them everyday & usually cries on the days that she cannot wear them.

LOVE LOVE this little person!
