3 going on 21

We just celebrated Kapri's 3rd Birthday. Let me tell you how fun it was for all of us! We invited some family and friends from the ward over and all the kids she knew.. We had a slip and slide, bouncy princess castle, and cupcakes. She literally ran around from 9 in the morning to 5 that night. Once the high from the cupcakes and friends wore off she was down and out. I have never seen her more exhausted! Dustin and I bought her a purple Rapunzel bike and some extra toys, but she could have cared less. Her friends and her family around her was what she was soaking up. We have come so far this last three years. Starting out bringing her home to our little place in salt lake, and now we are on our 8th house with her in victor id! (of all places right?)We love her more than words can describe and she is the air we breathe! She is going to be taking on a new role soon as big sister and I wonder how that will work out for us! She has such a gentle and loving spirit about her.. but on the other side she is definitely been testing my patients lately and seeing how far she can get away with things. Although she is the light of my life, she is a bomb burning brightly!
She is so advance for her age and very smart. At Three she knows all her ABC's not just the songs but has letter recognition, even out of order. She knows all her numbers up to 20. she can count backwards as well. She can sound out all letters that she sees and tries to read. She can do upto three letter words now. She can visually add and subtract with the help of an explanation. (IE: mom had 5 apples, dad ate 2, how many are left) She dresses herself, more than once in a day. She can run faster in heels than any adult Ive seen. She has a sense of self fashion and how she likes her hair.. NO NEGOTIATIONS! She hasn't been too picky of an eater, but her appetite has definitely slowed down the older she has gotten. She can put away an entire cone of ice cream with two scoops! That is obviously her favorite. And right now we are on a purple kick! ANything purple makes the cut! She was quite the party planner for the birthday party. Picking out coordinating purple balloons and cake, and decor. She still loves a good book with mom, longer books are quite interesting to her. She loves to color and is really good at staying within lines, she loves to color their hair, hands, and faces. She is into dresses and dress ups, and anything that looks "beautiful". Her vocabulary is amazing and she comes up with phrases that i didn't even knew she knew. She is a sponge in every aspect of life. She is getting more and more social. We went through the year of her wanting to hit every kid she saw and didn't want to associate with anyone. And now she sees all the fun she has with friends and is getting better.
out of her mouth. "please don't take my three away"
she will attend "Pri- school"
the "d" word has slipped out of her mouth a few times
"what a beautiful day"
"I will hit that kid"
"your hair will never grow"
"is my hair growing longer and longer"
and her prayers are oh so precious!
we love you dear kapri and you are my bestest girl xoxo, mom and dad
