Drew-isms

Looking at a picture from her baptism: "Mom, that's a picture from when I got appetized."

Giving kisses at bedtime: "Mommy, I wish I could be inside your cheeks because I love them so much."

"I love to listen to Justin Beaver."

"Wouldn't it be cool if......."(insert anything she's thinking next)

After going back and forth with "I love you more than all the stars in the sky. I love you more than all the sand at the beach" etc...she gives me: "I love you more than all of Grammy's breakable things." That's a lot of love.
And the next time you see her, ask her to tell you a knock-knock joke, she's got a doozie.

Here are some of Drew's current favorites:

Food: tie between pizza and pancakes
Song: Baby by Justin Bieber
Movie: Alice in Wonderland (the Tim Burton version)
Sport: "gynnastics"
Activity: setting up her stuffed animals in a seated position so she can either read to them or have a picnic
Color: pink
Book: Sesame Street Look and Find book

And she seems to be night potty training herself. She has been nap potty trained for a few months, which has been great, even if she only naps once or twice a week. But she has been asking to wear panties at night and I had to explain to her that she had to wake up with dry pull-ups before we could do that. So, usually once before Jeremy and I go to bed and once in the middle of the night she'll either get up and go potty herself or wake us up to let us know she has to go potty. Could we be sidestepping a huge landmine by her taking the initiative on this??

New Year's Eve follow-up

Mini Martha offering freshly-baked cupcakes from her kitchen.

Jeremy did all of the cooking for make it yourself tacos. I contributed by baking a pie and setting a paper plate on fire.

The Bollywood song looks difficult, at least they are having fun.

We're all in synch! One of the two times, I believe.

The mysterious bicep picture...where the heck did that come from??

Taking a break from all the hard work.

The funky chicken?

We start her early. She did not enjoy the sparkling cider.

Teenage Dream

Drew's favorite song. Quite inappropriate for a 3-year-old to be singing about skin-tight jeans, but she loves Katy Perry and this is too cute for me to discourage.

Playing with new toys:

Welcome 2011!

Since Christmas, we've.....

tried out our new Princess scooter (and become quite good at it),  

had friends over for an East Coast New Year's Eve celebration (we celebrate at 9pm), 

rocked out with a little Just Dance (Drew's favorite songs are Girlfriend by Avril Lavigne and Tik Tok by Kesha) 

 we walked down to the Regional Park and crunched some leaves and picked up sticks,

 and tested out a new gymnastics class with our friend, Meghan.

2011 promises a lot of firsts!
