Kendall is 3!!!

This little stinker is 3! At 3 Kendall:

 

-has attitude and can be very dramatic, which is sometimes good ;-)

-is spunky. She definitely has a strong personality and presence.

-is determined. She is strong-willed and doesn't budge.

-is active. She can't sit still for more than a few minutes, for real. She also loves to run and "do tricks".

-is cuddly. She loves to give everyone hugs (and sometimes kisses).

-is affectionate. She often tells me, "You're the best mommy, ever" and "I love you sooooo much!"

-is smart. She knows all the letters of the alphabet. Her vocabulary and sentences are very advanced for her age.

-is tough. She can take a beating (from her brothers, mostly), but she can also throw a punch.

-is independent. She likes to do things by herself, and can usually do them well.

-is artistic. She loves to draw and color. It's one of the only things she can do for long periods of time.

-is social. She loves people, especially when they pay attention to her. She often pretends to be shy because somehow it draws attention to her.

-loves to help. She loves to sweep, put laundry in the washer/dryer, put the dishes away, etc.

-loves music. She loves to sing (especially Frozen songs) and dance. She can recognize 80% of the songs that are played on the radio, i.e. Rihanna, Taylor Swift, Neon Trees, Imagine Dragons, Lorde, Maroon 5, Ellie Goulding, etc.

 

She is a joy to be around and fills my love tank daily, even though we also butt heads constantly (hey, we're both Taurus). I love her to pieces, and I am so proud of her for everything that she is and everything that she does.



 

For her birthday, we went to World of Bounce, and she loved it. Since Logan and Taylor didn't have school today, they came with us.
Kendall got a crush on one of the teenagers managing the inflatable slide. She kept telling him, "Hey! Watch this!" Later she showed him the non-existent boo-boos on her elbows. He was really sweet to her.
Kendall also spent a lot of time walking around the mazes while holding Taylor's hand. I love the connection that Kendall has with him. I think he tolerates her more than Logan does. I think he also likes that she "babies" him quite a bit.
By the time we left, all 3 of them were extremely sweaty, and Kendall took a really good nap. All in all, it was a successful outing.

That night, we went out for ice cream at Cold Stone. Kendall got blue ice cream (because who cares what the flavor is) with gummy bears. Yum! She couldn't even take the time to smile for the camera.

 

And Kendall got a Minnie bike for her birthday. She was very excited. Now she can keep up with the rest of the family... as soon as I start teaching her.
