Lizzy, the Birthday Girl

Well, our little Elizabeth is growing up. She turned 3 on March 4th, Saturday. For both our girls it seems right about the time they turn 3 something magical happens. They just grow up so much, and are more in control of their emotions, and are just generally very pleasant to be around. Lizzy has already shown us that she wants to be more grown up. She has been so much fun to talk to lately, especially when she gets mom and dad all to herself (which isn't often enough). She has been doing things more independently, like going to the bathroom and getting on her own shoes and clothes, without much persuasion. She also likes to sit in Anna's booster seat, instead of her own carseat, when Anna is not with us.

Lizzy is the fun one in the family. She is always making us laugh. Some is her age, where she says silly things, but a lot is her engergetic personality. She has a lot of enthusiasm and joy in life. She loves to run around and jump and dance and even wrestle. She is not afraid to tell you exactly what she thinks, even if it may be different from what her siblings would like her to say. She has just recently started to enjoy playing board games with Adam. Even if she doesn't understand it all, she still loves to sit there and move her pieces or hold her cards.

Lizzy has a very unique place in our family and makes us smile just about everyday. Happy Birthday to our growing up girl.
