My little two year old went to bed last night (with a bit of the usual crying) and this morning my big three year old girl came into my bed for snuggles. The transition to big girl was even more pronounced as yesterday we took her to get a big girl haircut!
So as with every birthday around here, I wanted to share with you some of the things that I love (and loathe) about this gorgeous little miss of ours.
- she says that everything is "booooooootiful". It has become a new family word.
- she LOVES Peppa Pig a crazy amount. She loves to sing the song and make the snorting pig sound.
- she needs to put on a dress up costume as soon as she wakes up in the morning. every. single. morning.
- she has to leave the table for mid dinner dance breaks
- she STILL sucks her thumb. Put this one in the loathe category.
- she calls everyone she meets "my friends". Especially if they have nice clothes on. Think a frilly tutu skirt and a Peppa Pig t-shirt. Best friend material right there.
- she rubs my back when I carry her while she is sleeping.
- she is such a girly girl who loves dollies and princesses but she is the first one to spot a digger!
- she is a bit gross and thinks it is hilarious to talk about pooping on people's heads. It isn't.
- she gives me the loveliest snuggles when we share a bed. We hold each other crazy tight with our heads next to each other and happily snooze away.
- she sits there with a piece of paper and a pen and asks "mum how do I spell….. cat". Then she pretends to write down the answer I give her.
- she is super funny when she says "Honey, where's my paaaaaaaaaaaants?".
- she can spot a post box at 50 metres.
- she adores Frozen and is gradually learning all of the words to the songs.
- she is the most belligerent person I know. Except me. After a few drinks.
- she would snooze all day if you let her. When I have to wake her to pick up Ol from school she usually tells me she isn't "done sleeping yet".
- she calls Ollie "my boy" and often tells me "I miss my boy" when he is at school.
- she is VERY opinionated about what she wears. She will cry hysterically if you ask her to wear pants or jeans. Then she will take you by the hand to her wardrobe and usually choose a flower girl dress or similar to wear on the school run.
She is my little mini me. I look at her and see more of me than I imagined I ever would. Sometimes it just freaks me out. I kept her at home today as I wanted her all to myself. I spent most of the day just staring at her perfect little face. She must have thought I was a bit of a weirdo. But three is that big line in the sand where she really is a little girl now. She is growing up too quickly. I just wanted to hold the memory of her just as she was today in my mind forever. My perfect, sweet, super cuddly, belligerent, thumb sucking, flower girl dress wearing princess. I love you Evie. xx
Enjoy the usual photo collage with one of her from every month that she was two. In case you wanted to check out her new grown up haircut, here are a few pics of her this morning. As you can see she went pretty understated with the accessories!!
And one with her big boy Ollie.
