Lenny turns THREE!! (with Gramma B and Bart here!)

10.11.2020

My sweet Lenny is THREE!!! Or "shwee" as you like to call it. Lenny you are just the BEST and I really mean that! Everyone that meets you (and that is a lot of people since you are so social and cute!) says that you are the cutest thing they have ever met! Today you had your three year check up and you just blew the pediatrician away with how social and talkative you were! Some cute things that happened today. The pediatrician asked what your favorite foods were and thinking you would say something like apples or chicken, you said, "cake!". It was pretty cute and funny. She also asked you when you turned three and you said, "on my birthday!" You wanted a check up so bad and even after she was done you asked for another one. AND you were so brave when she gave you a shot. Right away you said you were going to close your eyes and think of something happy. That is what Daniel Tiger does on your favorite show. :) You didn't even cry when you got the shot and was very brave afterward. Before we went to the Dr. appointment you made a paper with all the things we would see at the Dr. office. We drew a fish tank and the doctor taking your temperature. When we got to the office you showed the doctor right away and told her about how you and your mom had made it. The Dr. just couldn't get enough of you and said how cute and so talkative you were! 

I love your age right now! The night before you turned three I laid in your bed with you and sang songs and we talked. I cried a little thinking about how my little girl was growing up and how I just wanted you to stay two forever. This age is just stopped much fun! You talk so cute, you say the cutest things, you love people and usually always have them do things for you even when you just met them. We went to the playground the other day and we met a lady there and you asked her if she would push you on the swing instead of me :) You don't hold back at all and really like to meet new friends! 

For your birthday, Gramma B and Bart were here! They came to visit and planned it over your birthday! We had a nice day celebrating YOU! You opened presents and got a fun pink play tent, a play ice cream shop, a bouncy ball from Gramma B and Bart and some baby accessories for your doll. You requested tacos for dinner and then we had cake! It was a good day and you were so loved. 

Some things we love about Lenny. You say your "l's" with a "w" so Lenny is Wenny. Every time we get in the car you want to listen to "You're Welcome" from Moana. You LOVE preschool! Everyday you ask if you can go to preschool and what day it is. You get to drive up our driveway every Tuesday and get so excited to drive! You are a sweet sister to your older sisters and little sister. You love to hug and share toys with Jonny. You love to draw with Bergen and play the piano right next to Charley. You love to read books with Mom and Dad and wrestle with Dad. You LOVE helping mom in the kitchen and help me almost every night make dinner and bread/muffins. You are such a responsible little three year old. Everyday you mark off the things on your chore chart. You have to brush your teeth and work on your letters with mom and everyday you get them done. You are really good at putting your shoes on and coat on by yourself when we are ready to go and getting dressed everyday. Each morning you come into mom and dads room and snuggle with mom while I feed Jonny. Before we moved from Brooklyn you really bonded with a few people. You love being with Tatum Gosch, Jennifer Murphy, Molly from upstairs and with all our ward friends who gave you snacks. You would make your rounds every week to Sister Viera, Sister Lo, Sarah Nasen, Jessica Wells and anyone else that had some snacks for you. :) 

Lenny I just love you so much and feel so close to you. You have gone over a huge hump of throwing fits and rarely throw huge fits anymore. You are easy to reason and distract:) You love to do the right thing, tell your sisters to do the right thing and ask for things so politely. Happy Birthday my love! 

Bart and Grandma Velma came to visit Lenny on her 3rd birthday. She was so excited to celebrate with them. 




She always has a burst of energy built up that needs to be let out! We love our Lenny Lou.. Or as she prefers, we love our Moana!


Grandma B and Lenny coloring together in the kitchen first thing in the morning. 





Even though it was a little chilly, we wanted to take Bart and Grandma B to the beach. Grandma B loves spending time at the ocean. 


Bergen of course, found all of the wildlife. 





It wouldn't be a complete beach trip without stopping for candy at the candy shop in Westport. 


Play hard, sleep hard. 






Lenny was so excited that it was finally HER birthday!! 



Lenny with her phone before bedtime and some night time snuggles with Mommy. 



Since we bombed the popcorn last time Velma came to visit, Bart had to bring his "A" game and make popcorn for us. 



Lenny opening her presents! She loved the little ice cream shop and her pink castle. 


Lenny loves to put on her apron and help in the kitchen. Especially when it's making a cake for her birthday!







Lenny was so sweet. She couldn't wait to blow out her candles and have us sing happy birthday to her. After the birthday song she just smiled and said, "Thanks". 


Charley's on the list now of people Bart has paid $5 to yank teeth out of their mouth.
