Dear Aria

Dear Aria -

My little Aria.  Where to start to tell you all that I love about your 3 year old personality.  My favorite thing you do right now is sing.  You sing everything you can think of and many times during the day I find you off by yourself singing away.  You love for me to sing you songs but more often you love to sing yourself.  You even sang during the Primary program this week even though you were just in the audience.

You love horses.  The horses that live at the end of our street are your favorite horses.  You talk to them, tell them where we're going, tell them to have a good nap, dinner, lunch, etc. and would pet them 5 times a day if they and I would let you.

You love to color.  Often you will just climb up to the table and start coloring away.  You're getting better at holding the crayon the right way and even now attempt to actually color in the lines a little.

You do not like to play with Jaron and often take out your frustrations on him.  You don't want him in 'your playroom' and slam the door in his face more often then I can count.  He just wants to be like his big sisters and yet you just want to play without him.  One day I'm sure he'll be more fun.

You are perfect in going to the bathroom.  You never have accidents and are very good about stopping what you're doing for a bathroom break.

You favorite movies/shows are Little Einsteins, Winnie the Pooh Heffalump, Frozen, My Little Pony, Strawberry Shortcake and Tarzan.

You love to run errands with mom and your favorite store is Costco so you and your sister can both sit in the front of the cart (only when Jaron stays home with Dad)

We're working on getting you out of the whining stage and using a big girl voice and that is one thing I won't miss when you grow out of that.

You love your dance class and in general have become not as dependent on mom and shy around others.  You actually will say hi to most people and don't seem as timid.

Most of all I love that you still love to cuddle with mom, hold her hand going down stairs and sitting on my lap whenever you can.

My favorite saying right now that you say is 'Oh my goodness'  I giggle every time I hear you say it.

I love you my little 3 year old Aria and can't wait to see all the things you'll learn this year.

Love,
Mom
