Maddie at 35 months!

I wanted to take a break from Maddie's hospital visit to write about what she's up to today. She is so full of life and conversation!

She can name her ABC's - out of order, in words, etc.
She can count to 13 on her own
She sleeps in her big girl bed. She loves to sleep with all of her little dolls, stuffed animals, pillow pets and blankets.
We are still potty training her. Not that she was potty trained before, but the hospital stay did cause her to regress. But that's okay, I'm hoping that something will click around her third birthday. We NEED her to be potty-trained by August for school!!!
She loves to sing. A few of her favorites are "I love it" by Icona Pop, "Call me Maybe", "Happy Tapping with Elmo", "Los pollitos dicen" and any princess theme song. She is a pretty good actress too, she can express different moods depending on the song.
She likes to choose her own clothing. She prefers fancy dresses, so getting dressed in the morning is challenging some days. She also likes to sleep in gowns.
She is loving swimming in the water with her puddle jumper. She's brave enough to jump in and doesn't get too scared when her head goes under water.
She loves her "make-ups". She wants to polish her nails, wear lipstick and carry a purse. She is very much a girly girl. I've been french braiding her lately. She doesn't like me doing it, but she likes the look of it. It's really cute too!
She loves to say "Aww, that cute!". Wonder where she got that from?!?!?
She likes me to read books to her, she also likes to retell stories herself. Her favorite books are Max & Ruby Sunny Bunny Tales and Dora's Valentine book.
She says she is excited for me to be a teacher next year. I've told her that I'll be right down the hall, but I won't be HER teacher. She seems to be okay with that. Pray that all goes smoothly in August!!
She wears a 3t in dresses, 4t in bottoms. She wears a size 9 in shoes. Size 6 in diapers!!!(Lord help me, it's the biggest size)
She is so sweet! She loves talking about her classmates/other friends being her "best friends". She is also quick to tell me if someones is "being mad with her". That usually means not sharing or bossing her around. She's a leader and doesn't do well with that.
She loves to pretend and imagine. Many times when we are getting ready, she says "We have to get ready for the ball". One day I was asking her to do something, she answered "Yes, your majesty". She watches a lot of Cinderella!!
She'll be 3 years(36 months) old in 36 days!!
