Aubrey 36 Months!!

Oh my, oh my, our sweet, sassy, feisty, fun, and silly little lady is 3!!! This little girl constantly makes us laugh, keeps us on our toes, and just makes us love her more and more every day!  Aubrey Lynn, you are a true joy. We are so grateful we get to call you "Mama" and "Daddy Bear!"

Happy 36 Months Aubrey Lynn!

36 Month Highlights:

-Halloween fell on the day after you turned 36 months, and Mama had to work, so Daddy took you out trick or treating with Tia and DL! You had a blast going from house to house getting your bucket FULL of candy! Thankfully you both still are ok with the candy disappearing when you get home, and didn't ask for it more than once!

-We also had our second annual Halloween bonfire which was fun! Lots of hotdogs, a few smores, and just good family fun!

-We have thoroughly been enjoying Family Pizza and Movie nights on some Fridays! 

-You love eating things from the garden, and the mini watermelon was no exception! Nobody else liked it (it was rather sour from being picked early before a frost!), but you ate it up!

-We love lazy Saturday mornings, and you both love it because you get to have a picnic breakfast in bed, and then watch a little tablet!

-You both are great big sisters (even though you are pretty aloof with him most times), and you love to sing him songs, show him new toys, or try and make him giggle 

-You don't love naps most days, but when you do nap, you nap hard! This day I had to turn off your fan and sound machine, say your name about 7 times, and rub your head and tummy to wake you up!

-You have effectively potty trained yourself at night over the last 3 months, and Mama finally gave in and let you wear big girl panties to bed since you had been waking up consistently dry over this time period! Most nights you wake up once to potty, and always shout "Mama, Daddy, I have to PEE PEE!!!" in a cute sing song voice. Some nights you make it all the way til 6 or 7 am (hallelujah!), but many nights it's at 2 or 3 am. You can't reach the lights to turn them on, and don't like doing anything in the dark, plus when you're half asleep you tend to trip and fall when climbing on the stool to get on the potty. So for now, we come and help you out. 

-We celebrated Thanksgiving which was a fun, low key day with Mimi, Tia, Uncle G and DL (Pops was in TN visiting Grammy Dot). We had brunch and watched the parade at Tia's, and then came back to our house in the afternoon to cook and chill. That night, you got to unwrap your first Christmas present, which had new Christmas jammies, some window clings, and a goody bag for family movie night. That night, we all watched the movie Star, and you loved it!

Sleeping: You definitely don't love sleep the way Isabella does! Bedtime is around 7:45 ish and you usually are up til about 8:45 or 9pm just playing and singing in bed. You sleep til about 7:30 or so in the morning. 

Naps are at 1:30 or 2, and on the days you do take a nap, it's usually about 1.5 hours long, very occasionally you will nap for 2 hours. However, at least half of the week, you just play in your bed right through nap time. 

Eating: "I'm hungies" is still your motto : ) You are a good eater of the things you love. Favorites include: eggies, toast and turkey bacon, oatmeal, cereal, ham and cheese sandwiches, carrots and hummus, pizza, yogurt squeezies, fruit squeezies, strawberries, grapes, and Moochies : ) You still don't eat anything green, except for the occasional green bean or two. 

The other night we were all watching a cooking show, and someone made a green bean dish. Isabella said, "Ohhhh, that looks good, I LOVE green beans!" -You replied, "Me too, I eat one and then chew chew, swallow, and take a big drink of water. See?? I like them!" We were all cracking up!WEE
