Parents often reflect when their child hits a milestone. I'm no different. Evie Ailene turned three today. I'm still trying to figure out how it went by so quickly but that is an impossible task.
Sweet Evie, there are not enough words to describe how much joy you bring to our lives. Everyday, your personality continues to explode. I'm in awe of your empathy and compassion. Even at three years old you know how to love people better than many adults I know. You remember everybody you meet by name and will talk about them and miss them when they are gone. You see the good in everyone. Evie, your joy and energy are contagious.
At three years old, you love to dance and sing. You know dozens of songs. You are an adventurous girly girl who loves to wear a crown and a superhero cape. At your three year checkup you weighed 27.8 lbs and were 37 inches tall. You know all of your letters and are learning the sounds each make. You can count to 15 and know your colors and shapes. Your favorite food is bananas and you r favorite movies are the Lorax and Cinderella. You like to bake and paint pictures. You love to play hide and go seek. You have an affection for many things (books, animals, suckers) and tell us how much you love them. You dance whenever any music comes on twirl anytime you are wearing a dress.
You love your baby sister and show her so much love and affection. You are so thoughtful with Keller. You and your blankie are inseparable and your favorite toys ("your guys") are bunny, baby Elmo, and rainbow bear. You enjoy drawing and playing outside. You are very cautious at the park. You like to brush your teeth and wash your hands by yourself. You adamantly pick out your own clothes and get dressed by yourself. You like to play games on the iPad. Your imagination is endless as we run from the robots and hide from the sharks. You love looking at pictures of all the people you care about.
You don't like when people yell or have mean spirited things to say. You correct us if we use "not nice" words. You hug us if we seem sad or are crying and comfort us and tell us it will be okay. You refuse to let anyone leave or say goodbye without a hug and kiss.
You remember everything. And at the end of the day, you always remember to thank Jesus for all of those things.
We thank God for blessing us with your bubbly, charismatic, boisterous, fiery, feisty, passionate, and loving spirit. You are going to be a world changer, Evie. We love you to pieces little miss.
