3 Years Old!

Weight: 31lbs 50%

Makenna is energetic, imaginative, chatty, feisty, and demanding. She is very much a mommy's girl but loves going places (grocery shopping, to the mall, to the pet store) with her daddy. Right now, she wants daddy to "shave his stinky mustache".

She loves anything princess or animals.

Only wants to wear dresses.

She still takes daily naps at Crystal's house (daycare), but they are few and far between on the weekends at home with us. Thankfully, she likes to play in her room with her Barbies and all of her little "guys" during "quiet time".

We switched her to a big girl full sized bed. She got all new bedding and room decor that she absolutely loves! If you come over to our house, be prepared to be quickly ushered back to see her room multiple times ;)

Has to have 2 stories read before bedtime and needs 2 cups of cold water in her bed

Makenna is now potty trained for pee pee during the day! She is still wearing a diaper or pull-up at nighttime. We are working on going poop on the potty...she holds it for days and waits to be in a diaper for bed...

Her best friend is Avery. She talks about her constantly and names all of her stuff animals after her. When she draws family pictures, they include mommy, daddy, livy (dog), patches & lg (cats), and Avery. They are in dance class together and enjoy keeping each other distracted but entertained.

Makenna loves babies. She thinks they are the cutest things ever. We are anxious to see how she does with little brother.

October...

September...

Back to School...

It's that time of year again. We had another great summer filled with LittleGym, soccer, storytime at the library, playdates at the park, zoo visits, and weekend trips to the cabin. It is hard to go back to work and not get to spend every second with my angel.

Welcome Fall...

Soccer

Soccer has always been a huge part of my life. I started playing when I was about 5 years old. Every fall Saturday morning I was out on the field kicking butts and taking names. I continued to play through Middle School and High School, which to be honest was the main reason I stayed involved in school and academics. All of my best friends were from my soccer teams. My coach was a huge inspiration in my life. My parents supported me 100%, driving me to and from practices and coming to each and every one of my games. I was captain of my high school team for two years and moved on to play at community college where I was a captain of that team for two years as well. Admittedly, I'm not in the best of shape anymore and haven't stepped foot on a field in a few years, but I'm still a huge fan of the sport. Rarely will I miss a Sounders game or USA women's game on TV.

You can imagine how excited I was to get Makenna out on the field. I've always hoped that my children would love soccer and have always pictured myself coaching their teams.

Well, I guess we will have to wait and see if soccer is Makenna's thing. As of right now, eh. It is hit or miss. Some practices she did really well and followed directions. Others, well, all she cared about was running off to the playground. She sure was cute dressed in her gear though!

Smores!

I tried my hardest to pass on my love for smores to Makenna...

but she wasn't too excited about cooking them...

She cried when the marshmallow turned golden brown...

or black...

I might have the only kid on Earth who doesn't like to eat smores, but she will happily eat a raw marshmallow and graham cracker (separately).
