A Simple Kind of Life

(I’m pre-releasing this. Skye’s birthday is the 15th)

Looking back at the last year it amazes me just how much Skye has changed and also, how much she hasn’t. She still wears her shoes on the wrong feet, but has recently started to say that hurts. I think she’s figuring it out. Skye still hates her hair ’styled’. Well she likes getting it styled, but won’t keep it that way for long. I’m sure she is just like me. Not a tom-boy, but also not a girly-girl. She has started to seriously love her baby’s. She nurses them, let’s Grandma babysit (um, that’s me.), wheels them around in the stroller, rocks them in their bed, wearing them in a sling… she’s a wonderful mama!
She loves real babies too, maybe too much….
She’s stubborn, which I’m sure she comes by via me. But I recently discovered though her stubborn behavior that you never get what you want when your stubborn
She just learned to wink. She can wink with her left eye. Her finger has to hold down the right eye. Another, just like mama.
She adores Carter and everything he can do. Including the stuff she can’t do….which is difficult but expected.
She’s slightly shy till she gets to know you. She loves her friends, which could be people her age or people my age.
She’s potty trained. Much earlier than Carter was. She does still wear a diaper at night, but most nights it’s dry.
She loves her church class. Most days there are hardly any other kids in there. So it’s almost one on one play time for her!
She’s a great little girl, who knows she’s not a baby, but not a big girl yet.
She’s a snuggler, a bed hog, and a joy to have around!!
Happy 3rd birthday Skye!!
