Sleeping - About 3 days before she was due for this 3 1/4 milestone, she began to drop her nap. I've been giving her about a half hour to fall asleep on her own and then books if she doesn't. I imagine it will be several months before it is dropped completely.
Eating - Rebekah is a champion eater. Always asking for more broccoli and so sweet in thanking me for meals, I just love it.
Skills - "I can do it my ownself" is the most frequent phrase out of Rebekah these days. She loves to try, she wants to learn new skills and only wants to be treated like a baby when she is playing baby and mama with Faith (although she does revert to this baby whiny talk once in a while). It has been her job to sort and match the socks on laundry day but pretty soon she is going to move up to doing pants and I think she is ready for it. She has started to be more deliberate about coloring in the lines on a page, although sometimes it is just a tornado of color on a page but she loves to color. She can hop with both feet together. "Mama look at this" is another oft spoken phrase from Rebekah. She wants me to watch how fast she can run, how long she can stand, or at the silly face she is making. For school time, Rebekah is learning her letters, loves to cut, match, transfer, and pour. She is also learning her phonograms by overhearing them from Faith and plays the games in our LOE curriculum really well! Faith's balance bike was handed down to Rebekah at Christmas this year and within about a half hour she was totally rocking that bike!
Play - Her little imagination is really coming to life in playtime. She has always enjoyed "going on a drive" usually to "Chick-Fil-A" but she is enjoying playing choir teacher and Ms. Layne (their ICE teacher). She loves to dance around and sing, it is so sweet. I am sure plenty of this comes from her ballet class which she loves (although I suspect her favorite part is getting her Tiana sticker afterwards; Tiana is her favorite because she wears green). During our Mama time she generally asks for stickers or for me to read to her. She LOVES acting out our Bible stories; she enjoys craft but acting out the stories is her favorite part.
Random - At her 3 year old appointment, the doctor heard an innocent heart murmur and that was verified by the cardiologist. Rebekah did awesome at the dentist and has beautiful teeth :)
