3 years

Eden Jae is 3 years old...even though she won't admit it. We end up arguing when I try to get her to say she is "3". She is convinced she is turning "1". If only the numbers went down my little princess.
Eden
- has an opinion about everything.
-LOVES red bell peppers. She doesn't like them cut into strips. She likes to eat the whole thing (once the seeds are out).
-Also she loves the Barbie movies. At the moment she is asking for "Diamond Castle singing Barbie" for Christmas.
-Still dances and sings all the time. She is getting crafty with her spins adding a leg lift.
-Knows almost all the words to "I'll make a man out of you" from Mulan and "Don't say your in love" ( I think that's what it is called) from Hercules. It is the funniest to hear her say the phrase "no man is worth the aggravation..."
-Pretends to be shy when she meets people. At Wal-Mart she won't look at Santa. When I asked her why she didn't want to talk to Santa she said, "I"m shy mom".
-Likes to have her fingernails painted.
-LOVES lip gloss.
-Protects David. We often hear her say, "he's my brother".
-Puts objects under her bed while she sleeps (dolls, puzzles, books).
-Remind us, "I'm not a kid, I'm a big girl".

Eden, you are growing up. I can reason with you. You are understanding the concept of time. You look forward to future events and love to think back on the past. It is December and you just stopped talking about being a scary witch for Halloween (which is what you want to be next year). You let me sleep in your bed, unlike daddy who you make sleep on the floor. You are my special girl. I love every moment with you. Happy 3rd Birthday sweetheart.
