Mara - 3 1/2 years

This girl is always all smiles.  Even when she's in trouble...but I won't go there.  She is full of spunk and spontaneity.  And she'll be 4 before we know. 
 
As a former teacher, how thankful I am that she loves learning.  We try to do preschool 3 days a week.  She'd sit for 2 hours if I planned enough activities.  So far, she is a hands on learner, just like her Daddy.
She doesn't enjoy coloring, tracing, or drawing, so I have to get creative to get some of that practice in.  She will practice letter writing in flour, rice, or whatever messy substance we come up with.
Mara loves to collect the eggs at Grandpa and Grandma's house.  She was struggling with getting the eggs safely to the house (because who doesn't like to see what happens when you toss an egg??).  So, Grandma now writes her name on her egg if she makes it to the house without "accidentally" dropping it.  I made eggs for breakfast one morning, and Mara was a bit confused as to how she was going to eat the egg I cracked with her name on it when I scrambled it in with the rest of the no name eggs. 
 She loves to help us cook, and she loves to make us food.  She is always cooking up something for us to try!
I love you little girl.  How blessed I am to be your mommy.
