This big girl is 3 and a half years old today!!!!! Boy oh boy…so much has happened in the last 3 months for this bundle of energy and sass. Let’s review:
- Janie became a BIG SISTER!!!!!! She welcomed her baby brother to the world with open arms and has been so helpful. She is so proud to be a big sister and hasn’t shown any jealousy. However, he definitely (and appropriately) makes herself known when she needs to. Her favorite phrase in these occasions is “don’t forget about me!”
- Grandma was here for 2 months and they really bonded. It’s great to see them together.
- Janie started preschool during this period and had some tears (as expected) during the first month but now she will say “bye mom – go to work now”. She has made friends and even started soccer and yoga.
- Fine motor: Janie mastered buttoning and unbuttoning her PJs and opening the string cheese wrapper all on her own!
- “Frozen” is still a hit with her but she has also started watching “The Octonauts”, which is a refreshing change for Mama and Dada.
- Janie went on a family trip to Napa twice in September and got to hang out with Zoe and her cousin Alice on the different trips.
- Taking walks outside is getting a lot easier and we don’t have to take the stroller all the time.
- We also had several play dates and got to hang out with Sophie more.
- She has become a little more selective about what she eats and when but she is still a great eater.
- We started a token system recently and it has taught her how to be a big girl at home and outside. She has also added some new chores around the house including putting away everyone’s shoes and putting away the utensils from the dishwasher.
- Stats: Height is 37 inches. Weight is around 33 pounds. She’s wearing 3T and 4T clothes. Got a flu shot like a champ. Started taking albuterol for her cough.
Happy 42 months, Big Girl!! We love you so much and loves watching you learn and grow!
