three year old preschooler!

Brooklyn started preschool yesterday! This day came so fast.
She walked right in, sat down at the table and began playing. Not a single tear, just in and excited to be there! So proud of her. It was a great day.

Brooklyn's 3 year stats:

Height: 3 ft 3/4 in, 50%
Weight: 29lbs, 30%

Still can't believe we have a three year old. Three going on thirty. Sheesh, this one is going to make me SO gray.

Her things as of lately: she says constantly "mom, watch this" or "dad, watch me". over and over and over. Most of the time I do watch, it's only frustrating when we're driving or I'm changing ben's diaper and she's demanding me to watch something. She doesn't understand the appropriateness of timing quite yet. She sure loves her audience though.

I love how much she loves her family and friends. She and ben are thick as thieves these days. She'll ask as soon as he wakes up from his nap "can benny play with me?" or she'll get toys out for him in anticipation of his waking up. He thinks she's pretty fabulous, so he's happy to follow her blindly down the hall, crawling as fast as his little chubby leg's will take him, only to be bossed around the entire time "benny watch me!" "benny boy, don't touch that" "here, put this crown on benny because you're the prince and I'm the princess". It really is incredible. I was watching them play the other day and listening to her be super lovey to him and I said "brooklyn, isn't it so cool that God wanted you to have Benny for your brother?" she looked at him and said "ya, he loves me SOOOO much". <3

Brooklyn at three:

-Loves to put on her dress up every day, but then head outside to play in the dirt.

-Loves music, her favorite songs right now are: pumped up kicks by foster the people, half of my heart by john mayer (she wanted to listen to that song the entire trip while we were over in central oregon), anything taylor swift (the flower girl as she calls her) and of course "mommy music" which is my worship play list.

-Loves raw fruits and veggies, but overall is still a VERY picky eater

-Loves her daddy with a heart of pure joy

-Loves to dance,  matt calls her elaine (from seinfeld) if you know the show you'll get it ;)

-Loves to help others, she has such a soft spot for making things all better. Example: matt's phone dropped on the concrete on a run the other night & the screen shattered and we were both of course annoyed. So we're going back and forth about how frustrating it is. She says to us "daddy, it's okay about your phone, it's all going to be alright, ok?". We looked at each other and matt said "you're right honey, it's totally fine & not a big deal".

Brooklyn Michelle, you are three and in preschool...w.o.w. Thank you for making me smile every day. Love you so much.
