My Kenna Girl

Makenna, it has been awhile since I've devoted a blog post entirely to you as your brother seems to be stealing the show lately.  You are turning into quite the little lady and I find it hard to believe you are almost 4 already although I must admit that I rarely tell people you are 3 and usually tell them you are "almost 4".  I really need to slow down and just enjoy 3!  Although, I must say that 3 is turning to be quite a roller coaster.  Most  of the time you are a smart, sweet, imaginative, creative little girl.  You do, however, have a 3 year old sassy side that drives both your daddy and I crazy from time to time.  You seem to go in streaks with it and just when we seem to think we have it in check, you become a monster all over again.  Ha Ha!  You are definitely a "cups is half full" kind of a girl because if I take something away from you (such as TV privileges, your Frozen movie, etc.), you will immediately ask when you get it back.  If I tell you it is gone for 4 days, you will ask in a very excited voice - so I get to watch again on day 5?!  Sassy girl!

You are nearly impossible to take a picture of lately.  You would much rather give me a sassy or silly face the few times you aren't just running away from the camera.

You are learning so much at school these days - you hate to talk about what you learned when I ask you after school, though.  You will always say "I don't know" but you eventually talk about the planets and days of the week and months and the other stuff they are teaching you.  

You are getting very smart at knowing what you have on what day of the week.  You know that Awana cubbies is Wednesday night and you look forward to it all week

Here you are before your "princess night" at Awana.  You got all dressed and put your coat on at 5:30 even though we don't leave until a little after 6 and were all bummed when I kept stalling you telling you it wasn't time to leave yet.

You've done a great job learning lots of memory verses this year at Cubbies - your favorite is Romans 3:23 - All have sinned.  For some reason that one has stuck and any time I ask you what is your verse this week, you start with that one.  This week we have awards night at Awana and I look forward to seeing you on stage.

You also know where Awana Cubbies "lives" and every time we drive past it you tell me - Hey, Mama, that is where my Cubbies lives, followed by - is it open and can we go?

You are VERY excited that tax season is over and our family is back together.  Last Friday you asked me if daddy was going to be home for dinner and then I told you he'd be home tonight and Saturday and Sunday and you were beside yourself excited that you would see him 3 days straight.  

You LOVE family time and will always point out when all 4 of us are together

You just might be the prettiest little girl I have ever seen...

You have a million silly face and you insist on busting each and every one of them out whenever I get out my phone to take your picture...

You are OBSESSED with wearing dresses.  This just started the last few weeks but every day you want to wear a dress.  You are smart enough to know that it is STILL not spring so you put on a long sleeve shirt underneath and try to find the twirliest dress you can to wear.  You even picked a dress over your Elsa shirt the last few days!

You are obsessed with all things Frozen.  You know just about all the words to all the songs, though your favorite is Let it Go- you will sing it and run circles around the room all day long.

They are showing Frozen at the library this week and just before you fell asleep tonight, you yelled to me in the office - "mama, guess what?  Daddy is taking me to see Frozen at the Houssex (it is sussex, but you call it houssex) libary on Friday - I'm sooo excited!!"

You have hand me down Tinkerbell PJ's from Madison that have what looks like an Elsa cape on them so you want to wear them every.single.night

Mama was sick this past weekend and you had a rough time with me not being able to play with you and snuggle you.  You took such good care of me and even tried to lay in bed and hold me so I would feel better.  You were very concerned and kept coming in to see if I needed more medicine or if the medicine would "feel me better" soon.  

We had our basement finished over the past few months and you had to go down and check on the "basement guys" work every day to see how it was coming along.  You thought it was the coolest thing that they put a toilet in down there and the day we got the carpet, you ran downstairs saying "ooo, fuzzy wuzzy" and kept running back and forth across the basement over and over.

You really are a lot of fun at this age, despite your sassiness and I look forward to spending lots of family time with you these next days & months!!

I love you, Kenna girl!!
