Way to grow

When she says, "I changed my mind", or "I'm in the middle of something, don't mess me up!", it feels to me like she is two going on 13!


"I'm bigger, I'm older!" she announced, ahead of turning three this weekend.

Last Saturday was when Kait followed her brothers to scale this rock wall in a sports shop, and her daddy dearest gave the nod for her to reach for the sky. 


Look at her...

Spring was when she was mimicking her Gor Gors' bike stunts on her trike.  Summer now she's got the hang of pumping on the swing; all she needs is a little push to get started.

And I watch her every day... exploring, creating, and imagining. Quite the go-getter she is!


These last few months, she's also gone from doodling on a magnetic board to adding details and colours to her stick figures on a drawing pad.  She doesn't just like me to read her Mo Willem's "Hooray for Amanda and her Alligator" for the 238th time, but also makes up her own stories, songs, and pretend-friends.


That's all part of the growing, growing up, besides the things to outgrow.  Like her night partying still (*so exhausting*) even when she's already barely napping for a long time now. (But you tell yourself to keep going because she will eventually grow out of it).


"Go, Kait, go!"! I cheer my baby on! My papa who is visiting us here thinks she has the makings of a 女强人 ;p.
