I can't believe my Maevey is three!

Maevey is three.  Where has the time gone?  It seems the toddler stage is over and Maeve has really come into her own personality.  She is such a big girl now! Maeve gets herself dressed, brushes her own teeth, uses the bathroom independently and doesn't wear diapers at all anymore! Even at bed time! Maeve knows her colors, shapes, opposites, letters and can count to 20 (for some reason she sometimes skips 15 just like Kent did at her age).  When I asked her what her favorite color was she listed all of the colors including silver and then said, "those are my three favorites". She still loves horses but also likes the Disney princesses (especially the Little Mermaid), Dora, and her American Girl Doll that she named "Styja". Her passion in life is dance and she wants to watch Prima Ballerina, Polina Semionova, on Youtube everyday.  Maeve loves playing in Dramatic play at school with the other girls (especially Olive).  When I asked her the name of her school she insisted it is called "The little kid school".  Even though she promised to sleep in her big kid bed if we gave her a birthday party, she still sneaks out of her room and tries to convince us to let her stay up every night.  We usually try to ignore her so she is often playing in her room (and making a huge mess) into the wee hours of the night.  Maevey is as whimisical and charming as a fairy, messy and dirt loving as the character Pigpen from Charlie Brown, sweet and snuggly as a kitten, and tempermental and spoiled as a diva princess.  Maeve is reminds me so much of myself. Only a new and improved version.  She is everything I could of ever dreamed of in a daughter!

How beautiful! You are everything I would have wanted in a daughter who has a daughter. I am so proud of you writing such a wonderful tribute to Maevey and how true.
