About to turn 3

Lexi turns 3 in 9 days. We are having a birthday party for her on the 7th (which happens to be her Uncle Andy's birthday). She is pretty excited about it. We are going swimming and having cake. There were be 5 kids there not counting her - I feel good about that for a summer birthday. I was afraid that no one would be able to come. She's all into princesses so we had to send out princess invitations.

So what has been happening with her these last months?

She is almost potty trained - basically no problems with urine (even at night) but can't get the pooping part down. Of course, I have decided that she has no problems at day care, only at home - and I think she plans it that way!

We are cycling through some type of cold or allergy reaction - she gets this really bad cough that doesn't go away. A few days of a runny nose but that dries up and the cough persists. I think it bothers mom and dad more than it bothers her.

We found out this week that the preschool she will start attending on August 25 (all day) requires uniforms. So we are now on the lookout for khaki or green bottoms and yellow shirts with a collar. If we hear at the last minute that she has been accepted into our 1st choice preschool, then we will probably be looking at some other color. But I figure she can always wear the stuff on weekends. Thrift stores, here I come!

Lexi continues to enjoy reading and happily looks at books. While she wants to turn the pages, this often means a turn before all of the words have been read. She is missing out on bigs chunks of some popular fairy tales!

Maybe she makes them up on her own,
