Laneah at 3 years, 7 months

*Laneah is ready for preschool. She is showing an eagerness to learn how to read and write and she loves social interaction. 


*She likes to get a flashlight, turn off the lights and tell ghost stories. She gets pretty creative and some of the stories are really quite good for her age.

*Laneah is a natural at riding a bike and a scooter. It is amazing how well she can maneuver the bike and pedal. I honestly think if we took the training wheels off, she would be fine.

*Some of her funny words/sayings are "ink" for sink(as in I'm going to sink in the water), "short cut" instead of hair cut, and "basketedaball" for basketball.


*She loves being in the garden. She always wants to check on the flowers and make sure they are doing ok. 

*She has Fresh Beat Band mania. It is pretty much the only thing she wants to watch. Her favorite character is Marina, and she always pretends she is Marina. She seriously gets mad at me if I don't call her Marina. Lucky me, I get to be the character Keiki, lol. 


*She is also obsessed with smoothies. This is another Fresh Beat Band thing; they get smoothies in every episode. The kind I make is low in sugar so I don't mind this new obsession. 


*Laneah wants curly hair. Brooklyn has it, her neighbor friend has it and Marina from the Fresh Beat Band has it. So she wants it too. After her bath last night I put soft foam curlers in wet hair and had her sleep in them. Her hair was beautiful and curly today. She was very happy, so I might be putting curlers in after every bath for a while.

*She is not good sleeper. She gets up at least once a night. She has to fall asleep with the window curtains open, the door open, the closet door shut(so the monsters can't get in), with a flashlight, lots of animals and the hallway light on....its insane, but thats how she does it.


*She loves being outside, but does not like hot weather so she will ask to go to the park but only wants to stay for 5 minutes because she gets to hot. It has been an extremely hot summer.

*She loves spending time with her cousins, Anthony and Blake. She is at an age now that they usually all play really well together.

Laneah is a handful, but she is also sweet, kind and caring. She is smart, as well as beautiful and we love her very much.
