I am better because of Cates. I am better because I am her mom. She turns three on Monday. And while I try not to be one of those mom who tries to stop time, and complains about her children growing up, I do have a knot in my throat about it. I literally find myself trying to catch every second with her, and while I am SO thankful for each of her birthdays, it is a reminder of how fast time goes by.

Here is a list of her favorite things as we approach her third birthday!

*She always tells me I am her best friend. And when she is laying beside me, or riding in the car, she always holds my hand.
*People constantly comment on her ability to communicate and her vocabulary. She is very articulate.
*She loves playing with baby dolls. She tells me she doesn't want me to have any more babies, but she wants to grow up and have 8... but they all can live with me.
*She calls everyone on her play cell phone, and when they don't answer.. she "send them a text".
*She talks and points her finger and bosses people around most of the time.
*She is beautiful. Everyone always tells me how much she looks like her daddy :)
*Every morning on our way to school she says her prayer for the day. She always prays for her friends and family and that we will all feel "well".
* I thank God for the friendship she has with Andrew. They are best friends. Sometimes when he is kidding with her she will say.."Just tell me the twuth, Andwew!!! Are you swerius???"
*She loves her family. And when she prays she prays for most all of them by name. And she never forgets Uncle Bert's dog OG either.
*Her favorite color is pink.
*She loves Dora, Doc McStuffins, Sofia the First, and Paw Patrol.
*She tells me she is going to grow up and marry her daddy :)
* She sings all the time.

Big Events!
* She went on her first field trip this year to the Pumpkin Patch. Andrew went with her. Bop and Yaya did too.
*She potty trained this year too.
*She got a Jeep for her second birthday that she can now drive almost safely ;)
*We went on vacation to the beach in July.
