The Leask Family: Three Years Old

February 19th, 2019

Adrienne is three years old! Some things I always want to remember about my 3-year-old little girl...

Although she is great at communicating, she still has little phrases that she says a little bit mixed-up and we think it is adorable. We will be sad when she stops! One example is when Daddy says a song lyric wrong she says "That's how it not goes".
She loves all things Wonder Woman. She had a Wonder Woman birthday party and she had so much fun! She watches Wonder Woman (the 70s Linda Carter version) every Saturday night before bed. On Saturday mornings I usually tell her it's Wonder Woman Day and she screams with excitement. She often pretends to be Wonder Woman and makes us be the "Bad Guys". She chases us and catches us in her lasso of truth and says "Tell me the truth. Do you love your family?" Then when we say yes she says "Ok you're all done" and she lets us go.
The superhero obsession goes beyond Wonder Woman. She loves the Incredibles and likes to pretend to be Elasti-Girl.
Current favorite toys are her Wonder Woman doll and her Calico Critters. She also is starting to like Barbies. She plays pretend with all of these toys and I love listening to her make them talk.
She has developed a bit of fear at night. She says she is afraid of "Itsy Bitsy" and "Twinkle Stars". We think she saw a picture in a book or on the Baby Bum TV show of the characters that scared her. One night she asked me "Mommy, were you scared when you were a little girl?" She is working on it and often says "I'm not scared of Itsy Bitsy and Twinkle Stars anymore!", but then she is scared again the next day.
She is all about being a baby dinosaur right now. I'd say about 30% of her awake time she is a baby dinosaur. She always wants me to teach the baby dinosaur to say new words and to feed the baby dinosaur.
Adrienne is an incredibly loving sister. She hugs and snuggles her sister all of the time. She is sometimes a little rough with her but she does it out of love.
Current favorite books are "Dragons Love Tacos" and "The Incredibles".
Adrienne is obsessed with "special treats". Cake, brownies, cookies, you name it....she has a huge sweet tooth. Her other favorite foods are fruit (especially berries), macaroni and cheese, yogurt raisins and cereal.
Adrienne has lots of names that she calls Cecilia. She calls her Celia, Sister, Sister Junie, Sweet Baby Cecilia, Sister Cecilia Junie. She is so in love with her. She has been making Cecilia laugh and Adrienne thinks it is the greatest thing ever.

Adrienne wished for "Peace on Earth" (we rehearsed that one 😉)

Adrienne loves to dance so part of her birthday party was a dance party in the basement! We have had several more dance parties with just our family since the birthday party too :).
