Ivy turns 3!

How? I don't even know! She requested a unicorn party, so I attempted some kind of cake (my first one) and it turned out okay, surprisingly! She had all of her grandparents there, and some of our friends came, and of course, Uncle Koy and Aunt Katee & Mike! 

Some things about Ivy Bug

-she's 36 pounds

-wearing 4t and 5t clothes

-wearing size 8-9 shoes

-she started preschool this fall and she LOVES her teacher Mrs. Terri. 

-She is doing well at Keri's house and loves playing with her friends Kennedy, Hazel & Graham. 

-She got glasses on August 29th this year and so far is doing really well with them! The first couple days it was really hard for her to want to keep them on. She kept calling them goggles and was thinking she only needed to wear them when she went swimming. Now she keeps them on like a champ, and she loves to clean them. 

- She can sign & point out the letters, E, I, F, & L. 

-She loves to be read to (as always) 

-She is an amazing singer ha ha, and she comes up with some pretty fantastic songs. She is always singing!!

- She doesn't like taking baths because she HATES washing her hair. We had to watch babies on youtube getting their hair washed in the bath, and now she is getting better!

-loves the library and seeing the fish there

- She's a good errand runner! She loves to come to stores and does really well running around town with me.

-She's LOVES little kids. She calls them buddy and talks so sweet to them. 

-She can point out her name if it's written on paper and can draw an I

-She has an amazing memory. For example, we passed pizza pie cafe & she says "Mom, one time we went there and Dory was on the window. And we saw daddys friend Sean." We had been there plenty of times since that time, but yes, Finding Dory was painted on the window and we had a short encounter with one of Wades co-workers. She just amazes me. Things like that happen on the daily. Her ability to remember details is amazing! 

- She has a tender heart. She doesn't like when people get hurt and she is very sensitive (still). She gets her feelings hurt very easily, especially if someone acts like they are mad or raises their voice.

-She loves to color & look at pictures

-She has started saying words like "freakin'" (whoops!) and "ridiculous"

-She has an imaginary friend named P.J. She's a girl. And she locks doors...and forgets to look for cars when she crosses the street. But don't worry, Ivy always gets after her for those things! ;)

-We love her! She is pretty close to perfect in my eyes! (I mean, except around bed time, but hey.) She is an important part of our family, and we wouldn't be complete without her! Love you Ivy Mae Mae!
