Our 3 year old

An update on Leila now that she is 3 years old

  • I don't have her exact state but she weight between 27 and 27 lbs ans is about 33 1/2 inches tall, she is super tiny
  • Leila has quite the strong-willed personality, she wants to do everything on her own and have a say in everything we do. Leila and I butt heads quite ofter
  • Leila has a difficult time making decisions, it takes her forever to pick out her clothes or pretty much anything that she is trying to pick
  • She loves Dora, Mickey Mouse clubhouse, and Barney
  • She loves Polly pockets, anything Disney princess and barbies
  • She is obsessed with playing games and doing puzzles, we play a game every night before bed
  • She still loves books, right now she loves the Oops book, her Big Sister book, any Dr. Seuss books and any books with the ABC's
  • She loves to sing, she is constantly singing and making up songs
  • Loves chicken nuggets, grilled cheese, tomato soup, ravioli's, mint Oreo ice cream, and oreos
  • She is the biggest staller when it comes to going to bed sometimes it takes us over an hour to finally get her to bed
  • Leila's past routine has been to go to bed at 9 and then wake up between 8 and 9, but she has started to wake up between 6 and 7 no matter what time we put her to bed so we have started to put her to bed at 7
  • She still takes a 2-3 hour afternoon nap but I see naps ending soon, she totally fights me on naps no but if she doesn't have it she is a very ornery girl
  • hates wearing jeans, only wants to wear skirts, leggings or dresses
  • dislikes wearing shoes or tights unless they are her high heeled dress up shoes
  • does not like having her hair done, we are lucky if she lets me brush it
  • is such a mommy's girl, if I leave a room she is immediately looking for me
  • loves to help do laundry, clean bathrooms, and do the dishes but hates cleaning up her room or her toys
  • She has to pick out Greydon's clothes and gets very upset if I put him in something that she did not pick
  • Loves to steal Greydon's blankets and binky's
  • Loves to jump on things and off of things
  • Hates getting in her care seat, we spend a good couple of minutes trying to get her in her seat
  • Is in love with her friend Ryder, they act like a little married couple when they are together
  • has a really hard time sharing
  • loves going to preschool
  • loves to whisper "I love you" in my ear

Leila is definitely one determined, strong-willed, and busy little girl but we love her and love watching her learn and grow everyday
