Three!

Dear Libby,
You are three years old now! Three! I can hardly believe it. Next week, you will transition to a new classroom at daycare. You'll move from the Owl room to the Penguin room. There are a lot more kids in the Penguin room, including lots of your friends who used to be in the Owl room with you. I know that you are just going to love it. It will be good for you to be with older kids, instead of being the oldest kid in the classroom, like it's been for you the last few months.

You've had your birthday and Christmas (and Liam's birthday) all over the last month. You've received presents galore. You love your baby dolls, Magic Clip Disney princess dolls, and the little Doc McStuffins and Daniel Tiger figures that you received. As always, George and your lovie are your absolute favorite things. When you wake up during the night, it's usually because you can't find one of those two items.

You were sick over the Christmas break. You had your first ear infection, I think, since you had your tubes put in when you were about 14 months old. It turns out that the tube in that ear (the left one) has fallen out now, and the right one is about to come out too. I sure hope you stay healthy. I really don't want you to have to have a second set of tubes put in.

You will start gymnastics again tomorrow, but now that you're three, you'll be by yourself, without me. I hope that you continue to love it! You'll start ballet at daycare again in a few weeks too. The recital that you guys put on in December was adorable. I will never forget the way you looked in your leotard and tights, with your little belly. I wish I had your body confidence. You are perfect, my sweet girl.

Love,
Mommy
