Yesterday I was in town running my weekly errands and I decided to go through a toy isle to start getting Christmas ideas for a certain good little girl, when the emotions of just how grown up she is hit me!
There is nothing babyish about her anymore! The size of clothes she is in makes it harder and harder to even make her LOOK like a little girl. And she is already showing a huge interest in Barbie's and Barbie type dolls! WOW!! A good friend of ours gave her some hand-me-down (LOVE those) Barbie books, which we read daily now. And all she can talk about is growing up!! "When I get big like you.......you'll let ME drive." I plead with time to slow down, but it is not cooperating!
Brooke in a not so little girl dress, but she did manage to add accesories to it that made it look more like a little girl.....love her fashion sense! She wants to wear her hair down most days with a simple flower in it because "princesses don't wear pony tails".... Side note, look at those long skinny legs....she is even built like a big girl now! At least once a day she is still worn out enough to want her mommy to hold her, which I never deny.....even if her feet hit my KNEES when I pick her up.
Normal updates, she still weighs the same as she did at her 3 year check up (under 41 pounds), I haven't measured her height recently, but I can tell you that her 5T long sleeved shirts and pants from last Fall are too short. She is learning SO much at school. She knew her uppercase letters, but now practices her lower case letters all the time. She loves to play school at home every single evening, where of course SHE is the teacher. Right now when she grows up she wants to be a princess, a teacher, a momma, a cheerleader and on occasion a puppy. She still wants to drive a little Volkswagon Beetle and it has to be red. She wants her Daddy to get it for her NOW so she can practice driving because she is convinced her legs are already long enough to hit the pedals. She is already talking about how she will be in Kindergarten next year, but she is already as big as those kids. I could go on and on about her funny sayings, but I will sign off for now.
