Scarlett 3.25

Scarlett is 3 1/4 years old!

Scarlett Lately:

She seems to really be enjoying preschool so far! She is excited to go each morning and has made a new friend named Anvi that she talks about a lot:) So far she is pretty good at telling me about her day and the first thing she always tells me about is what she had for snack 😆
All her bedtime animals, except Bear, have been put away one by one into her closet. She says Baby Bunny was giving Bear too much food which gave him a tummy ache so she has to stay in timeout indefinitely. Recently, her elephant blankie and elephant wubbanub (which no longer has a pacifier attached) were put in the closet for “taking the blankets off her when she’s trying to sleep”. I think Bear is behind all of this.
She doesn’t really have many “tantrums” but still gets upset easily, especially when you say she can’t have something or when she doesn’t want to share with August
She is starting to really love more complex and/or longer story books (some recent favorites include Owl Moon, The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe, & Sylvester and the Magic Pebble)—she likes to read these longer books after August goes to bed
She loves to learn new things and asks a TON of questions (Why? Oh…why? Why does it do that? Why? repeat..)
She has energy to spare—lately she’s been walking to and from the park with mama and dada which is probably close to 2 miles
Makes some pretty funny faces and has a silly sense of humor
Still doesn’t really enjoy sharing toys with August, but she is a wonderful big sister to him and helps out a lot (I.e. getting his “bink” for him when he’s upset, sharing food with him (surprisingly), getting a clean diaper for him, showing him neat things that she’s excited about, etc.)
Some of her current favorites: pink, egg sandwiches, Tacky the Penguin & Moon Bear books, water play (splash pad, pool, water table), going to the park & library, listening to Disney movie soundtracks (Dumbo, Little Mermaid, Beauty & the Beast, etc) and “drumming songs”
Likes to talk in funny voices
Her eyes get really wide when she’s excited about something
Likes to gently pat and rub your face when talking to her before bedtime
Some of her favorite sayings: “What did that sound look like?” and “What does your breath smell like?” (after you’ve eaten something)
