Molly's turns 3!
It's so hard to believe that 3 years has gone by since Molly came into our lives. She is incredible, and she amazes us on a daily basis all that she learns and how she is growing. There were 3 things I was hoping would happen by the time she turned 3 - to transition her to a big girl bed, get rid of her pacifiers (which she has only been using at night time for awhile), and to get her potty trained. Well, the transition into a big girl bed was seamless. She loves her bunk beds that John's grandpa made for him when he was little. A few weeks ago we asked Molly if she wanted to give her pacifiers to her new baby sister (baby Maggie), and she said yes. She hasn't used her pacifier since! We started working on the potty training, but it just hasn't gone well yet. So, we'll continue working on it. I'm hoping she'll be mostly potty trained by the time the baby comes in September, but we'll see!
Molly loves playing with her dollhouse, coloring, playing with cars (beep-beeps) and trains, and playing bubbles outside. Her favorite food is Mac & Cheese, and she sure loves ice cream with sprinkles! She sleeps about 12 hours at night, takes a nap sometimes during the day (but less often these days), is starting to speak in full sentences, can spell her name, knows all her letters, shapes, and numbers to 20, and seems to learn something new everyday. We are so proud of her!
We had a great weekend celebrating Molly's birthday. Since she loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, we decided to do a Mickey Mouse theme. I made a few decorations (from ideas I got from Pinterest, of course), which turned out really cute.
