My sweet Keziah!!! What else could you expect but a lot of silly faces?! She is a character! She will often make Adah laugh at the dinner table with all her silliness!
Keziah has become increasingly interested in letters. She tries to put letters together and then ask me what it spells. After supper Austin will sometimes ask if he can have a t-r-e-a-t. She knows what he is asking so she tries to do the same. She has caught on to the first three letters but everything after that doesn't make sense. I love that she is trying though. She is so smart! We have a workbook that we do when I think about it and she loves to identify words that start with different letters but hates to try to write her letters. I have successfully gotten her to write A! That is seriously as far as we've gotten. A lot of times though she will be coloring/drawing and she will bring me her paper with excitement of a letter she has written. She's funny!
We got her a new hat and belts this month. She is pretty happy about both! She wears her hat everywhere but the convenience of not wearing a belt (and letting her pants fall) takes priority over the style of it. She wore one that coordinated with every outfit for about 2 weeks and then decided it wasn't worth it! I agreed since she is so good about taking herself potty and a belt requires help! Keziah has gotten really good about putting her hair behind her ears by herself. This might seem silly to take note of, but as a girl who refuses to most of the time let me put anything in her hair to keep it out of her face, this is a big deal!
At night Keziah continues to suck her paci (oh the shame) and still needs a pull up. She will wake dry some mornings but we wouldn't want to chance going without it. We used to wake her at night and take her potty and she would have more dry pull-ups that way but it just wasn't worth waking her and it didn't seem like it was really training her to do it herself. She will get there on her own someday! She also requires quite the array of animals/blankies in her bed. She has a row of small stuffed animals that sleep head to toe in a row down the side of her bed (opposite of the wall) and then they get covered up by a blanket so they don't fall out...then she has two little square taggie blankets. One goes under her head (it is pink/green) and the other she rubs (red/blue). She also has a chick and a horse (both small stuffed animals) that she holds onto while she sleeps. She has the whole corner of her bed that is against the wall covered in other animals. I have to clean it out every so often because she sneaks other ones in there. When we go stay other places like in a hotel or at my parents or friends, she doesn't require all of that though (thank goodness). She is happy to have the basics: her red blankie, pink blankie, horse and chick! Another thing Keziah requires at night is pants. She has several nightgowns that she loves but she refuses to wear them without pants.
I love my big girl so much and can't wait to see what this next month and year are going to bring for her. Soon she will be a big FOUR years old!!!
