A turned 3 yesterday, 3 already and still my sweetie pie little baby. She refuses to admit that she's a big girl and insists that she's still a baby and therefore entitled to all the benefits that come from it- being carried around, fed milk, getting the toys she want in a fight with her sister, sleeping with her mum and dad and ignoring the new bed for her. But dear A all that is going to change very soon.
This year you graduated from the creche and moved to the playgroup which is for 3+ children. Where they no longer have afternoon naps and you start learning English and German. And you love your new school and keep telling everyone that its for big children and only babies go to the creche. And next year you'll move to the big school where Akka goes (albeit in the separate EY 1 campus) Wow, it feels just like yesterday that i was dropping Akka to that school and carrying you on my shoulder.
You have quite a distinct vocabulary for a 3 year old thanks to Akka, the movies you watch and the TomTom in the car. Its so cute to hear you say that we have reached our destination! And even more to hear you quote from movies - "Life's not fair" from Lion King, or sing your favourite song " Girl on Fire" which you keep hearing on the radio. And copy Akka doing Gangnam style!
You are extremely set in your ways and nothing can change your mind once you've decided on something. Be it, the kind of food you want to eat, and no amount of coaxing or tricking can make you open your mouth if you don't want something, or the clothes that you want to wear, or the clips that you want to remove from your hair, or not wanting to go sledding after the one fast experience. But you are willing to try new things.
You are a happy trooper and accompany Akka for all her activitites, be it swimming, where you sit with the IPad and listen to mum and her friend gossip away, or ice skating where again you sit with the IPad and listen to mum and her friend gossip away. You love the musical class I take you to, must take you more often in the next few months! All of Akka's friends are your friends, and when you fight with Akka "She is not your best friend anymore".
This year you got your favourite doctor set for your birthday and spent the whole day examining and treating your dolls. Never mind that you gave them all injections in their ears! And you got the Captain America Lego doll with you made with dad and again proceeded to inspect with your doctor set. Your favourite is Hulk from Avengers, but we could only find Captain America. You helped bake your own cake, ice it and decorate it with teddy bears. Didn't help too much in the eating of it though. On your birthday we went to Kinderzaentli, a fun indoor play area where you and Akka had lots of fun. You insisted you wanted to go to a place with trampolines but when we got there you refused to go on the trampoline and went instead to the balls section for babies and spent a happy hour going up and down the baby slide. Remember what i said about being set in your ways! Anyway, whatever makes you happy dear, your birthday comes but once a year.
And today you have another celebration in your school. Since its Weinacht celebration week they have asked all the children to come dressed up, so you went as a fairy today with your wings, crown and wand. And we've taken cupcakes for you to celebrate with your friends. Have fun dear, hope this year is filled with love, fun, good health and happiness!

:) A refusing to stop being a baby is a bit like my sis. The younger kid privilege I guess. Can't believe she is three!
