Like every parent says about their children, we can't believe our sweet DM is 3! It seems like just yesterday she was born! She is in such a sweet season of life.
I never knew I could learn so much from such a little, but full spirit. There is no holding back when you are 3! Every moment is lived to the fullest! Some of the latest ways she embraces life and makes us laugh include:
1. She'll embrace a sweet treat. As in devour it long after her friends have moved on!
2. Her favorite foods aren't just good! They're delicious!
3. She'll nearly always cheer for a runner or biker that we pass! (Okay, that one took some training, but I love hearing her being encouraging!)
4. Given that I didn't care too much for books in my early years, I am thrilled that she gets excited about new books!
5. DM and Tahoe have always had a bit of a rockier relationship than I envisioned. Really, he is terrified of her, which has made for many fast scrambles on Tahoe's part in the past couple years. However, this relationship seems to be improving as DM is ever so slowly becoming more gentle with him.
6. She will belt out "Jesus Loves You" and many other songs without a fear of embarrassing herself or offending anyone!
7. Sometimes she is all girl with carrying her "purse" and putting on her "lip gloss" (chap stick) before getting out of the car. Other times, not so girly! This kiddo refuses to wear hair bows as of late!

(Something I avoid like the plague on our typical weekend visits!)
And followed up Trader Joes with Chick-fil-A and cupcakes for birthday dinner!
