Ruby is 3 and a half!

On January 9th Ruby turned 3.5! Our baby! She is at a great age, and I love her little personality. She is such a mild mannered little one, and has continued to be the sweetheart of the family. Here is a bit about her at this age.








-If you can't tell from the above, Ruby loves to dress up! She is always proud to show a hat or costume off!
-She has lots of cute phrases: I missed you really much, mom. Cheers! (for everything including body parts like bottoms, nipples (with her sister-haha!), and things like pants, food, fingernail paint), Silly goose!, She says a W for L-so cute! can we listen to Swugs and bugs?, Zwip up my jacket, gwubs for gloves, watt for lot-I want a watt! she's always asking-what can I do??
-She's been playing rather than sleeping some during nap time. Once she was quiet going to nap and I checked on her. Undies and pants inside out. Shirt all wrapped tightly around her. Another time-pants on backwards, socks stuffed in leg of pants. Falls asleep that way. Stinker!
-She locked herself in one of the bedrooms at grandpas. He had to take the door off the hinges to get her out! She wasn't scared-just talked to us through the door the whole time.
-She gets in trouble for poop and pee talk-sibling get in trouble, too, when they join in. Potty talk never gets old I guess!
-I love picking her up after preschool each day. She's so excited to see me and tell  me all about her day. She loves preschool and does so well there. Best buddies are Reid and Piper, but really all of Annie's buddies, too. Once I picked her up and she immediately said, I need more food in my lunchbox!! Sometimes the girls go sit with Henry in the second grade line to wait for me-they look so big!
-In the bathroom, she went through a phase of always saying to me-I’ll wipe the peepee and you wipe the poopoo(she was fully potty trained at Christmas, so this post has a lot of potty talk since it was on her mind a lot!)
-Can I soft her? This is what she asks when she wants to pet something-babies and animals!
-Funny with her tenses and phrases-Did you saw those girls and boys? Did you saw that noise?
-Saying when I’m a big girl...or when I'm a first grader....
-Don’t want monsters to get me-random comment one morning
-Naming her babies Jade, Jude, Ruby. Loves playing with baby dolls!
-I asked her what she wants to be when she grows up-said she wants to be a mommy take care of a baby. I asked her what else? She said-put baby to sleep and work in the kitchen. 
-Loved sand at beach!!Ruby isn't real prissy about getting dirty or sandy or clothes being itchy or anything like that. She doesn't throw fits like someone else I know;) about things like this.
-She says "Cheddar cheese?" instead of pretty please (got this from Annie)
-Got her out of her crib and she gave me big squeeze and said-m, m, m you’re the best mommy in the whole world!! When she wakes up we talk about her messy hair in the back and how it's a rat's nest...now she volunteers that "there was Little Mouse in my hair"!
-Asks, Momma, can I count these? Can we line these up and count them? Mom, let me count these girls. (Me and her in car). Henry is a boy, daddy is a boy, Annie is a girl...etc. She counts really high (50?) and knows her ABC's. She can spell (orally) her name and write an R. She can trace really well and stays in the lines when coloring.

Here are some random things...
-where’s the poles? (Tadpole)
-Look at my "oh yeah" dance!
-Asked for warm water to drink for a while...anti cold water!
-Everything is "last night" and "even I"
-She still seems like a leftie?? She still uses her right some, but kicks left footed and leads up stairs left footed, so those seem to be indicators like they were with her brother!
-Calls me "little mommy"
-Mingo for flamingo
-"Can I wear my strap clothes? Bc I wanna look cute" (referring to her dress with spaghetti straps)
-Said she ate the "heart" (peach pit) and the stem of the peach I sent her outside to eat!
-My poop is coming out! My burp (aka her gas) smelled like poop! (gross to include I know, but also hilarious!)
-Kept talking about the dark after kiddie carnival. We drove home in the dark which she never gets to see-she's always in bed before that happens!
-Prass-stick for practice
-Hannah-tizer for hand sanitizer, loves to use it
-Adores chap stick

We love you, Ruby Jane! Can't believe you are 3.5!
