Colbie 3.5

Colbie has been asking for months when she turns 3.5, the day finally arrived and she is thrilled!  She is always wanting to be older and acts quite grown up for her age.  She is our constant talking, sweet sister, definite leader, cautious, girly-girl. We love her dearly and are so lucky to have her!

-Wants a playmate at all times
-Loves to learn new things and go new places
-Loves reading books and making up her own stories
-Chooses Doc McStuffins any time TV is an option, but wants all things Frozen
-Loves her brother dearly, works so hard to make him laugh and can't wait until he says "sissy-boo"
-Always performing.  Dancing, singing, microphone and dress up attire all necessary
-She is very curious about everything, never stops asking questions and has a great memory
-Loves imaginary play, princesses, making "cookies" out of play dough, art projects, play dates with friends, story time at the library, and ballet
-Still terrible at sharing (especially with her brother), can be quite bossy and is always negotiating

Cruising on the Walker already, slow down baby boy!

Story Time

Ashy loves story time at the library as much as Colbie does.  They both sit happily for 30 minutes, I love it.

Siblings Playing

These two definitely wear me out, but lately I have been seeing them play together (sort of) and it makes me so happy.  Colbie works so hard to get him to giggle for her.

Frozen Meet and Greet

Dreams really do come true.....  The Cougar Mountain Zoo had a meet and greet with Elsa and Anna.  Colbie was able to spend about 45 min with the girls, it really was amazing for her.  She was totally star struck at first but after watching other kids talk to them and get their pics taken she started opening up.  Elsa and Anna took a group of kids to meet and feed Sven the reindeer and she loved it.  She stood right next to them the entire time.  She could have stayed their all day....we pretty much did, we were slightly stalker-ish, we even followed Elsa to bathroom.  Don't judge.  It was a Mommy-Daughter day and we both had so much fun.

Wednesday Play Dates

We are so grateful for our Wednesday morning play dates with these great kids and their moms. Charlotte, Reese, Indi, and Colbie were all in class together at the EEU.  Colbie doesn't go to the EEU anymore so we are very thankful to still see these families so often.
