I have a 3 year old.

This is the post in which I admit I have a 3-year-old.  It's so crazy for me, I feel so old.

How does one go from this

 

to this in 3 short years?!?!

She is at such a fun age, though.  She talks sooo much.  I love the hilarious things that come out of her mouth.  Then the things that I say to her/Eric/Brecken and Joelle come out of her mouth and it makes me laugh/cringe.  Sometimes I will tell her she's a "one trick pony."  The other day I was helping her in the bathroom and she said to me "Momma, you a one tick pony."  I laughed out loud.  Now she says it just to get us to laugh :)

Other funny/cute sayings::

*She tooted at supper time and said "That was me.  Whoopsie daisies.  Did you hear that?!"

*Adelyn told me she had "to go poopies."  Eric was currently using the restroom and (without prompting from me) ran in there and said "Daddy!  Get off the can!  I have to go poopies!  Get off the can right now!"

*Adelyn loves the movie Madagascar and there is a old lady that beats up the lion and says "bad kitty" a lot.  Brecken and Joelle got into some paper plates she had been playing with and she starts yelling "No, no!  Bad kit-ty!"

*My mom took her to the bathroom at 8th St Grill and there was someone in the next stall tooting up a storm.  Adelyn says to my mom "Was that you?" My mom says "No." Adelyn bends over and looks through to the next stall and says "Oh. It was that man."  Ahhhh!  That poor person in the next stall..

*She randomly told me one day at lunch "Mommy you are my best friend."  She's been telling me multiple times daily now.  LOVE.

*She was running and fell yesterday.  She quickly got up and said "I broke my smolder!"  If you have seen Tangled you will understand :)
*It's never a good sign when she wakes up from her nap and says "Help!  There's poop on mine arm and mine leg!  Get my diaper off!  Get some paper!"
*"Quick Mommy!  My nose is running!  Get a blow-nex!
*I overheard her telling Brecken and Joelle "You guys gonna send me to the moo-mey (looney) bin."  Wonder where she got that one from...

*I have her enrolled in a swimming class (no parents!) starting in a couple weeks, a dance class and a gymnastics class this summer.  We were originally going to do only one summer class, gymnastics, but she was super excited about the dance class.  They are only 2 weeks long so it should be fun.

*has become very interested in matching things/colors and if someone is a man/woman/boy/girl

*I still have her on Lactaid.  I tried last year, when she turned two, to take her off of it.  Bad news bears.  It makes me nervous to try again.
