On the cusp of turning.... three!

Gotta keep up with my running journal of all things Beebster and everything that she loves:

She is soooooo fastidiously conscience about her hands being washed. I think I have definitely instilled in them my own OCD qualities of having to feel clean, but I think Faith also is fastidious about it all by herself. She is constantly asking to wash her hands, and even wants hand sanitizer. She's also hilarious when she uses wipes to clean herself. If she is sticky from something she has eaten, she will get one of Abrie's wipes and not only clean her face and her hands, but she will also stick it down the front of her shirt and wipe her throat and her chest. I have no idea where this came from, but it is absolutely hilarious to watch!

She is totally all about the toilet for pooping. I have not changed a poop diaper of Faith's in probably 3 weeks or so. But, pee on the other hand? It's hit or miss with that. She wants so desperately to wear princess underwear like her Dee, but is not quite there 100%. I am so proud of her no matter what, and I know she is so incredibly proud of herself as well.

She wants to be just like Dee. Man, she adores her big sis. She has been asking for months now to get her ears pierced like Maddie and like princesses. We are trying to stick to how we did everything with Maddie and her timeline, so I suppose 3 years old might be a good time for Faith to get her ears pierced IF she still wants to do it. We will see.

Abrie's head is a comfort to Faith. She just loves to sniff Abrie's head (she calls it 'ohhh, Fuzzy head' or 'ohhh, Lumpy head!') or rub it while she sits next to her Beeba. Those two are two peas in a pod. It makes me feel really good to know how much they adore each other also, since I know how much Faith will miss Maddie if/when she starts kindergarten next year.

She loves card games- and all games really- and anything craftsy. She loves drawing with Maddie, and they spend hours together coloring pictures in coloring books or on construction paper. Actually, Faith is getting really good at drawing.

I think Faith tells me about 30 times a day, "I love you, Momma" and I love it. I will never, ever grow tired of hearing that from my Beebster!
