Our Leah is about three and a half now, and somedays we just can't believe how big she is getting! She is incredibly independent. I don't even try to pick out her outfits, or open up her granola bars. She likes playing games like Sequence for Kids, playing at the park (especially on swings), helping Mom cook and clean (hoping this hobby sticks around for a while!), make grocery lists, color, and of course play dress up. She enjoys "reading" stories to us, and being read to. She also likes to make up songs, which I should really record so I can listen to them forever. She is also getting very excited about becoming a big sister, as her little brother is due to arrive in about a month.
I acquired an extra set of caterpillars for us to watch grow at home - one of the many perks of being a science teacher - and Leah was really into it. We watched the caterpillars get bigger, and then they made their "caloons," and became beautiful butterflies. Leah helped me mix up a sugar solution to feed them, and then after about 2 days we set them free in the yard. Lots of fun!
Bye-bye Butterflies!
