Princess names

The princesses according to Faith:

Aurora- 'Arara'
Snow White- 'White'
Jasmine- 'Asmine'
Pocahontas- 'Pokeyhontas'
Mulan- 'Mooolan' (although it used to be 'Tattoo' for whatever reasons!)
Belle- 'Belle'
Cinderella- 'Cinderedda'
Ariel- either 'Riel' or 'I no say this' (as in, "I can't say this!")

Our girl also loves to whisper secrets in our ears all the time which are almost always "I love you Dad, I love you Mom" which is precious. Oh, and she also LOVES to be the one to say the prayers at dinnertime. I'm going to have to videotape it because it is priceless. She has her eyes closed and mumbles things that NOBODY can make out and then says "AMEN" as loud as she can!

Gotta love a girl named Beebster!

Student Beebster

My Beebster just loves to learn new things all the time.

She's really picking up on her number and letter recognition, counting to 20, learning to count by 10's to 100, and even writing her name almost perfectly and some other numbers and letters. Maddie was doing these things at 3 1/2, and I think that it helps a lot that Maddie loves to "teach" Faith things in the early mornings when they are awake and playing and at night when they sit together on the bottom bunk and chat. It's really cute, and Faith gets so proud of herself. She's funny too in that she loves the things that I come up with to help her remember things. I told her that 15 is smelly from not taking a shower, and she'll point to "him" on her number chart and say "oh 15... you need a BATH!" She says 6 loves "eggscream" (as in ice cream), 16 is going to the beach, 17 has long hair, and all the 'teens' are the "big brothers" of the single digits.

I can tell that she wants to do things earlier because of wanting to do everything that her Maddie does. She has been wanting to know how to spell her name for awhile now, and actually can write it pretty well now.

3-year old

Faith went for her "official" 3-year check-up yesterday at the doctor.

She weighed 27 lbs and is 36 inches tall! Nene told me that I weighed 27 lbs also and I was 35 3/4 inches tall when I turned three, so my Beebster and I are pretty much one in the same. She's so small and adorable! She was so excited for everybody (aka Dan, Cran, her Beeba, and myself) to watch her, and she was so proud to do everything that the doctor told her. This doctor has been our doctor since Faith was a newborn, and knows Faith very well. She asked me if anybody that we've talked to ever voices concerns about her speech, and I told her that yes some people have asked us about it but we understand her and have understood her since she was not even a year old. The doctor wasn't worried at all, and our Flop is doing wonderfully!

She loves to tell us that she loves us a lot by saying, "I love you much!" It's so perfectly Beebster. She is the best 'medium' sister there could have ever been, and I admire it so much since I was just like Faith, being the 2nd of 3 girls. She is in love with both her big sister and her baby sister and tells them this all the time.
