(Not so) Terrific three's!

We have had some good and not so good changes... I am one who likes to end on a good note so let's start with the not so goods.  Eva now is in a stage which most know as "terrible twos" but educators call it a developmental milestone.  She has started to show more dislikes.  For example, when we leave from school to go to therapy, she refuses to eat knowing that we are on our way. She also is choosing to not take naps anymore.  So, I actually found this out a hard way.  I thought she was sleeping but when I heard some noise I found her actually playing... With her powder.  I also found out that baby powder can potentially ruin a vacuum.  Good thing we carried a warranty.

 Eva is also also being a bit more picky with her foods she chooses to consume.  When we have a meal, let's say its carrots, potatoes and chicken, she will only eat three maybe four bites of the potato, and that's it.  She will not even try the others.  I am starting to supplement at night now with milk and carnation.
Let's now focus on the good.  No matter what the weather, she loves going outside. When it is at least 25 degrees, we all get our snow gear on and head to the park for sledding.  Eva loves to go down the hills by herself without a sled, which is just super cute. We stay for about an hour or two and then head home.  She just loves all of it.  One day when it was just a little to cold for her to be out but her sisters insisted on going out, so I decided to stay inside with her. When we were finished with a book, she stayed in her room to play.  When she came out of her room, she obviously was trying to tell me something... and then showed me... I understand that she now has the concept of our family motto "what's fair for one is fair for all".  I love the fact that she completely undressed herself (not such a great quality) but found a hat and a snow bibs to put on.  She is just showing us her great memory and comprehensive skills.   I love happy endings. :)
