Laneah at 3 years, 11 months

This is the last month that my baby is a 3 year old!!! Boo! I think I might cry when she turns four. Isn't she still a baby?
*My favorite words of hers are "actually" and "preeettty cool". She says actually at least 100 times a day. And pretty cool is funny because of her exaggeration of the word pretty.


*She is working on "being tough". Normally any little fall, dent, scratch, etc would result in a bloody murder scream where you think she is dying. But she is getting better and sometimes now when she gets a boo boo she will say ow instead of screaming and then brag about how tough she is. We give her lots of praise when she is "tough" because this girl can scream.


*She loves to pull up the rocks on the garden wall and look for worms and rolly pollies. All other bugs terrify her though. (My fault I'm sure). In this picture she found a caterpillar. 
*Ever since she ate Chinese food and liked it she likes to pretend that we live in China. It cracks me up.
*She is such a sassy little thing; but she is also filled with sweetness on the inside. 
*Laneah loves to be outside. She doesn't mind the cold at all; its heat she doesn't like. 
*We have been trying to teach her that there is more to life and holidays than just getting things. I really want her to be thankful and grateful and want to give. We have done a couple of service projects which she enjoyed. We also did a thankful tree. Since I am no artist I printed this one off the Nick Jr website. Laneah loved putting it together. All the things I wrote on the leaves were things that she said she was grateful for (sometimes I changed the word; ex: she said she was grateful for the trees and I put nature)






*Laneah is obsessed with pirates. We go on pirate treasure hunts all the time. She will draw a map and then we will look for treasure. We also make telescopes with paper. 


She loves making crafts with me. 
*I got her a washable marker set which is great, because her and Brooklyn both get it on their clothes and everywhere else. It is so nice that I can just wash it right off. 
*She loves to pretend that daddy is a prince and she a princess. Sometimes they will be Rapunzel and Flynn and other times Ariel and Eric. It is so cute to hear them playing together. The funniest was when Laneah hit Jason with a frying pan and said, "now we are married". Lol 
*Laneah continues to do well at preschool and has lots of fun there.
*She freaks out when her food falls apart. Eating tacos or hamburgers are a nightmare because she becomes hysterical when it slides or falls apart. 
*I love this picture. She has such a fun personality and is so creative and smart. 
My little girl isn't so little anymore but she will always be my baby. Love you Laneah!!!!

The thankful tree is adorable--I'm so copying this idea. :) Aren't her quirks so funny--tacos falling apart? The littlest things will bring big reactions sometimes. I can't believe that she's about to turn 4. She gets prettier every year.
