A Little About Rylee: She loves spinning in circles, blowing raspberries at her brother, reading books,
playing outside, anything tiny or little ("Oh look! It's a tiny baby
rock!" etc), and eating ice cream.
She has a
wonderful imagination and is always hard at play, acting out stories and having
adventures. She still loves to be snuggled, and has a hard time sleeping
through the night.
She can sing
her ABCs, count to 10, stand on one foot, hop, skip, and twirl. She loves
dancing and having dance parties.
She tries
to sneak marshmallows and sprinkles from the pantry on a regular basis, and is
a bit of a clutter queen(must be a hereditary thing?). She loves her friends and they're all her "best friend." She adores her gizzilion
aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents.
The last
couple months have been full of changes(a new baby, baby being sick and in the
hospital, me going back to work after being off for weeks, Ryan being gone for
a month, moving to Austin and a new house) and she's adapted beautifully.
She
decided it was time to pottytrain the Sunday before we moved! It would've been
easier to have told her we had to wait till we were done moving, but I wasn't
sure when the next chance would come up, so we went for it! And she did
amazing! We went and bought Star Wars "panties" today. They're
actually boy briefs, but the kid was dead set on getting Darth Vader and
Chewbacca panties. Unfortunately, Princess Leia was not included in the pack.
She is the
sweetest big sister and is always looking out for baby brother.
She is also a total goofball:
 |
| My cousin Haley made her her own colorguard flag! |
 |
| Making a huge mess |
 |
| cracking up with Aunt Linda |
 |
| Hiking in her fairy wings |
 |
She loves sleeping in my shirts, just like I did at her age
with my dad's shirts. |
 |
| She picked the outfit |
 |
| The sheet over her head is her "wedding dress." She's getting "married" to Ryan. |
 |
| Rylee gave Callum her "wedding dress." He's now a princess. |
She is
sweet, loving, funny, audacious, and amazing. Everyday, I strive to become more
loving, patient, and kind for my daughter. I have a lot to work on, but I think
I'm getting there and that we're raising a pretty spectacular person.
Happy
third birthday, sweet girl. We're so glad to have you in our lives.
