I want to just take some time to put into words the amazing 3 year old she has been!
I, of course, think she is a one of a kind! No, I am not biased, she really is :)
The number one thing about her that truly amazes me is her LOVE! Her heart is so big I am not sure how her lungs have room to expand! She has no trouble expressing it either, I probably hear these statements dozens of times a day "Mommy I love you sooo much" "your so beautiful and sweet" "Mommy your the best" there are many more, but those are my favorites!
I think the most amazing thing about how often she expresses these things is that they are not in conjuction with her wanting or getting anything. She just says them, and truly means them. When I have been having a bad day and been far more 'onry than I should, she will say, while fighting tears, "Mommy you are not being very beautiful or sweet" it is a heart melter and snaps me back to reality pretty quick!
She is truly been the glue in our family, she is so loved and adored! We can't get enough of her!
She is also been a 3 year old Master of Lyrics! She loves Music and with older siblings always playing something, she knows lyrics to songs so quickly! A song will come on the radio in the car I have never heard and she will be belting out the lyrics, Correctly! Amazes me! She tends to have a thing for Eminem, his lyrics are challenging to her because of their speed, but she keeps up pretty well (probably better than me I have to admit) fortunately the bleeped areas just seem like breaks to her, and she has no idea the words being omitted! HA!
I could go on and on and on......I adore this child! I will put some of my favorite pics from the past year, and am so grateful I get to move onto her 4 year old adventures with her!
First haircut as a 3 year old last year.
Alyse is a beach bum! She could spend hours upon hours (and usually does) playing in the sand.
She LOVED her first trip to Disneyland!
This was on Halloween, however, dress up became a serious part of our lives in the past year! She has about 10 different outfits from Pirate girl to princess to Hippie!
Jewelry is part of dressing up too! While we were school shopping last August, she wanted her ears pierced! Fortunately Kierra insisted they do both ears at one time, or I am pretty sure she would be sporting one pierced ear to this day. It was traumatic, but she was over it in about 5 minutes and then had to show her "flowers in her ears" to everyone.
Alyse is also very loyal to her friends! Her best friends are her two closest aged cousins Abrie and Haydn. She loves them both dearly, and loves to play dinosaurs and trains with the boys and dress up and barbies with the girls!
My beautiful girl!
Trying to ignore me:
Braxten's face, not running from my camera as he was last New Years! It's been a year of growth I guess! ha!
