Enjoy!
- Don't jokingly promise purple yogurt before bedtime. She WILL remember.
- I know nothing. I thought this was something that would come later, but my knowledge of the world is clearly inferior to Anna's. Example conversations: "daddy, I want fruit snacks". "Sorry bean, I don't have any". "Yes you doooooo." (Repeat the entire ride to church). "Daddy, the trees are coming out of the ground and flying away." "No anna, that is just the wind. They are not flying away,". "Yes they aaarrrrreeee."
- Waking up to "daddy, my nose not working," (in a really sad voice) is both the cutest and saddest thing I have ever heard.
- Starting an hour long dance class for three year olds at 6:45 is cruel and unusual punishment for parents (when your child turns into a pumpkin at 7:30 and takes her sleep VERY seriously).
- Hide and seek is fun, until you are sent to hide and the "seeker" just crawls in bed, counts, says "ready or not here I come," and then just stays in bed.
- Children are complete sponges and get more and more "absorbent" the older they get. They also are listening even when you don’t think they are listening.
- Anna apparently has a brother named Rick. As well as a few siblings named "sick" and "cries."
- Potty training isn't about know how or ability, it is about power and control.
- Anna is tall, like off the charts tall. Literally. At her 3 year check up she was so tall she wasn’t even on the growth chart for the 3 year check up.
- Popsicles fix everything.
- Anna appears to be a very outgoing and social kid, but I believe she is like her parents and actually an introvert. You can tell groups wear her out and when too many people start looking at her she can crawl in her shell just like daddy and mama.
- I have always heard it is called the “terrible twos,” but the last year with Anna was not terrible at all, it was actually a lot of fun and very entertaining. However, I hear many people say it really is the “terrible threes,” so we will see what the next year holds. :-)
