Catching Up

A new post?? What? I have been horrible about documenting important moments in my daughter's now 3 years of life. Yes, I have things written in her baby book, but there's certain things I want to remember like what she's into now, the funny things she says, pictures I don't have to dig through to find her at a certain age. It's a lot easier to document it on here than it would be to write it down on paper that may or may not get lost. So here is attempt number 157635 to remember our lives at this time. In the last year, Rhyan:

• gave up the paci right before she turned 2. Easy as pie! I think I was more nervous about it than she was. She had only had her paci at nap and bedtime for about a year. But she had to have 2, one in her mouth and one to hold. So I just started cutting a little bit off every 2 days or so and in about 3 weeks, we were done with it!
• moved to a toddler bed at 2, then a big girl bed right before she turned 3. She never even tried to crawl out of her crib, she was just every where and I knew it was time to give her some more room. I started out telling her that if she got out of her bed at naptime, (I didn't want her up and playing) she would get a spanking. After a couple times, she got the point and it was no problem.
• got REALLY into Disney princesses and still is. We love them all and every time we go to Target, we have to go by the princess display and sing all the songs. She LOVES them.
• She has started to become very picky about what she wears. Every day she tells me she wants to wear a dress. Which I'm okay with until all her play dresses have been worn, and all that's left are her good church dresses which I won't let her wear to Mrs. Ellie's. Then the tears start flowing. I was told I was alot like this.
• pretty much potty trained! She wears panties all day and I still put a pull up on her at nap and bedtime, but most of the time she wakes up dry.

I'll stop there for now, but these are the big milestones this past year. Maybe I'll post again before next year. :)
