Syd Turns 3

Where does the time go? Yesterday, the 22nd, my little Syd turned 3 years old! Here she is now, and at 1 month. Sometimes it takes looking back at pictures to remind me how quickly it is passing by.

Some things about my big 3 year old:

- She is so spunky! Full of faces and attitude that are both adorable and rotten. She is so very entertaining!

- She loves her family! She always says "momma, I love you" and "I love my baby!" -referring to Paige of course.

- Though she is third in line, she has lots of mothering skills, just like Shaye. She takes over the roll during the day when it is just her and Paige. She loves to help with "her baby."

- I can't believe she is only 3. She is smart, and has communicated so well for so long. There's nothing she can't say or do. She keeps right in line with the big kids.

- She has added to the collection of things she wants to sleep with. It's not just her monkey any more, it's 2 monkeys, a pillow pet, and her pink blankie!

- Lately she has been in a "scared" phase. I can't get her to sleep at night because every since she watch Hansel and Gretel she is convinced there's a witch in her room. She is also scared of a parrot that we recently saw on the movie Rio. Anything spooky has her worried for days.

- She loves living close to her grandparents. She ask me every week if she can go spend the night with one of them!

And so she was glad they came for her birthday. Poppa, Emmy, Grandpa, and GG all came up Sunday afternoon. We had dinner, cake and ice cream, opened presents, and played. Sydnee loved a celebration just for her!!
