Twenty Questions for a Three Year Old

It's our second year asking Makayla these questions on her birthday. So Back on July 28 we broke out the pen and paper and fired at her with these challenging life questions....#rivetingjournalism

It's fun to see what has changed and what has stayed the same in the past year.

You can find last year's post here to compare.

My Take:

She isn't the best eater these days, except fruit and junk food. 

Girl LOVES her fruit.

Doesn't surprise me that she said "I don't know" for her dinner favorite,

 mostly because she hardly ever eats dinner well. 

If I had to answer for her I would say give the girl some cut up meat and fruit and she's usually happy. 

Her favorite shows/movies are currently Paw Patrol and Frozen,

 so she had a Paw Patrol birthday party and got a few of the toys which they finally started releasing

What little girl doesn't love "let it go"...heck, I'm still singing it 10 months later!

Apparently mommy gives chores (fun chores?) and daddy gets all the hugs.

Daddy's girl, I tell ya!

In the past year she has grown so much! Her vocabulary is awesome. This morning she had a tummy ache and when I asked her what was wrong she sighed and told me "I'm just so hopeless...my tummy hurts!" lol

She still has those darling curls. I don't ever want to cut her hair if it means we will loose them.

She's tall for her age. 

Combine that with her good speaking skills 

and most people have mistaken her for an almost 4 year old lately.

She's doing pretty good adjusting to having a new baby sister.

 We've been working on normal 3 year old stuff,

 tantrums...potty training regression...listening skills.

 Normal stuff.

 She's still my super sweet, thoughtful girl that is always willing to share her snack or give a kiss and hug.

The other day Roy's boss was at our house to meet the girls and I while in town and Makayla quietly put some of her day old popcorn next to his hand on the counter. 

So thoughtful of her!

As much as I don't want to label her- she's mostly my tomboy (loves cars, getting dirty and making messes) and is shaping up to resemble the 'middle child' by being the kid that quietly plays by herself usually. 

She goes with the flow, but she sure can stand out with that cute curly hair and that smile that just radiates joy. She's ALWAYS so joyful. I hope she never, ever loses that sparkle.

Love you, Makayla Ann!

Twenty Questions for a Two Year Old

Breakdown in mommy's words:

Fruit is her favorite thing. period.

Apples are fruit, refer to question #1. True.

Chicken nuggets are #2 on the list of her favorite foods, 

preferably from Chick-fil-A (kid has her momma's taste in nuggets)

When asked if she wants chicken nuggets she will respond with

 "Yes! And fries, and chocolate milk and ranch and ketchup!"

heh.

She is actually a good vegetable eater, but like her sister will only eat them raw.

I actually think her favorite game to play is cars- she can regularly be found carrying her little matchbox Lightening McQueen and Mater to the store, nap time, bath time, etc.

They are her favorite characters right now, hands down.

Pretty sure she copied her sister on the favorite color and animal.

She hears it all day long from Kinsey, so it doesn't surprise me she just copies her answers here.

She's quite the copy-cat of her sister these days.

Momma's songs would most likely mean, "You are my sunshine"

But it could also be "radioactive" by imagine dragons....who knows ;)

Apparently daddy was on her mind at the end of this questionnaire...

Doesn't surprise me because she is quickly shaping up to be a Daddy's Girl.

Some of my favorite things about 2 year old Makayla are:

Her bouncy, crazy, curls. Love them.

The sweet little personality she has "me want to hold you mama"

She's my little cuddlebug.

Her silly side, 

when undressing to change clothes or for bath she often says 

"everybody gonna see me nakey!!!" and then runs around like crazy

Her love for her sister- she will often call for her after she gets hurt. 

She doesn't want mommy or daddy to comfort her, but instead her big sister.

Melts my heart.

Her love for certain toys, McQueen and Mater, Tigger, her glow baby, 

and most recently her Elmo doll. 

She can't go to nap or bed without tucking all of them into her blanket next to her.

She has great verbal skills already. She is starting to sing parts of her ABC's correctly (just parts) and can count from 1-10 + in both English and Spanish (no thanks to Dora on that last one, either!)

She's quite to little monkey, both in climbing skills and mischief making abilities.

Roy calls her "mono"

She's my baby girl and every time I look at how much she is growing, learning and changing I just want to pull her close to me and make time stand still. 

Stop growing up so fast, little Kay Kay!!!
