- you are very curious about how a baby gets out of a momma, I tend to switch the subject

- you love your cousins and talk about Brayden & Morgan all the time
- you love the Frozen soundtrack and can sing the songs without it playing
- you practice snapping your fingers often and are getting really good
- you love to paint your fingernails and anyone else that will let you, you're actually really good at it
- you love to write your name and are curious about how things are spelled
- you love to craft and make cards and then pretend to mail them
- you tell me daily that I am beautiful
- you are a constant inspiration and I learn from you daily.

3.5 can be so very challenging but it is also pretty amazing. I am so grateful that you're mine.
