Izzy at 3

Well since Izzy is offically 3 I wanted to captured what she is doing these days and some highlights of her personality.



Izzy your such a joy to be around (most of the time anyway) You are a very happy kid and very loving to all those who love you. You will always say I love you to mommy and daddy when we put you to bed at night, and you often tell us and your grandparents "I missed you so much" when you haven't seen them for a little while.


You started "school" in january once a week and you are doing very well there. I swear I can see small changes in you even in the 3 weeks that you have been going.

You are almost fully potty trained, you wear underwear all day and at night. You can go potty all by yourself on yoru little potty or the potty seat if you have your step stool, and you have even started wiping yourself. Now if we could only get you to poop on the potty. You still completely refuse to do this, and you will ask for a pull up when you have to go and you almost always request to go downstairs to the basement to poop behind the couch. Daddy and I really which we could change this habit and get you to go on teh potty but I am sure you will do it when you are ready

You are trying to give up your naps I think. There is never a week these days where you don't skip at least one or two. This week you have yet to nap..I am hoping you will, but so far you are just hanging out in your room, i have put you back in bed twice....I guess you are pretty much ready to give them up, and most days you really are fine without it, you don't act much more crabby than normal. Mommy better get used to the idea of no naps...


You still are missing yoru two top 2 year molars, although the one has started to make a very slow apperance. Next step is to make you your first dentist appointment.


You are becoming quite the little conversationalist and I love now when I pick you up at nana's and we drive home that we carry on a full conversation about your day. Today you and I had a lunch date that was so precious to me to sit and talk with you and hear about the world thru your thoughts.


You have an incredible memory, and I swear you never forget anything. You can recall places you have been, things you have eaten, and things you have seen from so far back! Today when at lunch the news was on the tv in the bar area adn you said "look mom it is obama!" You don't miss a thing!

Some of your favorite things to do lately are color with your markers and do your stamps. You can draw lines and circles and even a smiley face pretty well. You also LOVE to help mommy in the kitchen, you pull over your little chair or the automan and are always right there trying to help. Your other favorite indoor activity is playdough. You love to play with playdough.

You started swimming lessons also this month and you are doing pretty well. You are the youngest and least experienced in the class but you are catching on at your own pace. I am hopefully that you will continue to do well and love the water as much as I did as a kid.

You are a joy in our lives everyday(even during your toddler tantrums) We love you much!
