Here's a peak at Harper at three years old. She can be summed up as spunky, wild, and a 'do what I want' kind of girl. Here's what she's been up to this past year:
* she is wearing 2t and some 3t clothes. She likes to pick her clothes. She went through a short layering phase. Some days she would have three shirts and two pairs of pants on. She likes skirts.
* she is still a finger sucker. BOO! She likes to rub slobber on her cheek. We will start working on quitting in a couple weeks.
* she talks about "her school" all the time. She's never been to school, but is very convincing that she has with her stories.
* She sometimes makes up her own language. We have no idea. She usually just rhymes jibberish when playing with her dolls.
* she is just plain ornery. She does things knowing that she shouldn’t and she just doesn't care. Most recently drawing on the wall with a sharpie. She hates timeout, but ends up there quite often.
* even though she is ornery at home she is a very sweet little girl out and about. She plays well with others.
* she loves playing with her dollies, play doh, paint and markers, sidewalk chalk, and anything water.
* she is still wearing a diaper to bed. We plan to stop this soon. I think she just uses it out of convenience and doesn't really need it.
* we are hoping her egg allergy is gone. She does eat some things with egg occasionally and she hasn't had any reactions.
* she loves to be outside without shoes.
* She now has a cute little bob haircut. No more tangles.
* she somersaults all over the house. She has also started doing headstands. Gymnastics is in her future.
* she fights naps and bedtime, no matter how exhausted she is.
* she needs structure or she finds trouble. I'm excited for her to start preschool in the fall. Two mornings a week. We are both excited!
