Our Princess is 3!

I can't believe our little girl is 3! It has gone by like a flash. Looking at pics from last year she was so little and baby looking- she hardly had any hair. Now she has hair past her shoulders.

A little about Berkley these days

• She loves to dress up. She can go through 3-5 dresses in a morning.  She is not fully dressed up until she has the dress, the shoes and the crown. Then she can only be addressed as whatever princess she is at the time.
• She loves carrying around purses. She puts all her mini princess dolls in a purse along with her lipsticks. A girl always has to be prepared.
• She is obsessed with makeup.  I think we have at least 30 chapstick/lip glosses floating around our house.  She also has a loves eye shadow- which is NOT make up according to her. It is eye shadow.
• She is very meticulous about her things. Everything goes in a certain spot and don't you DARE try to put it away someplace else.  (Except if she is in a hurry it is fine to hurl all her belongings in the walk in play closet and shut the door)
• Did you know she can't see in the dark? I know! If I send her to her room to get clothes she'll say- can you turn on the light? Remember I can't see in the dark?
• Everything has to match- and she has her own rules for what does- and they certainly aren't the same guidelines that mommy uses.
• She can be the sweetest sweet and the naughtiest naughty.  When she is being sweet she will talk in a high pitched voice, when she is naughty she has a mean low husky voice. 
• She is like an armadillo, or porcupine. Her defense mechanism is to roll up into a ball on the floor. This happens if she hurts herself or gets in trouble.
• She might be dainty, but she can defend herself.  She was blocking the top of the slide at the play area, a boy kicked her in the back to get her to go. Without missing a beat she turned around with an open hand and slapped his face.  Now I don't promote this kinda thing....*but way to go Berk!
• If you ask her to do something and she doesn't want to she'll say "Well...."and give you a reason why she can't do it or she's always *Just* something. She's just watching a show or she's just coloring or she's just playing barbies. (After getting incredibly annoyed with her, I realized that she gets that straight from me) Another one she got from me is "Mom! I told you firteen times!" Usually my number is more like 86 ;-)

I could go on all day about Miss Thing. We love her to pieces, she makes life a lot more entertaining!
