.:Remi–3 Years Old:.

Sweet Rem-a-lem. How can you be three???

This fiesty little gal is growing up way too fast! Remi has started talking so much more. She is a lot easier to understand than she used to be, although she still has her excited moments of gibberish. She uses sentences all the time, and some of my favorite phrases of hers are, “Oh, man!” and “No, no way!”

Remi is definitely starting to test us. She’s gotten more fiesty, and more defiant as of late. We’ve started having to do time out more frequently, but hopefully that will slow down as she realizes that she can’t get away with being a naughty little beasty.

Rem continues to be able to fall asleep anywhere, anytime. When the girl needs to sleep, she sleeps! She is sort of trying to phase out her naps right now, but she can’t quite make it the entire afternoon without some sort of little snooze. Even if I don’t put her down for a nap, she will likely fall asleep on the couch or floor wherever she is playing. It is quite the gift!

Remi adores her sisters. She and Reece are truly best friends, and they are usually so sweet with one another. I love listening to them play, and hearing what stories their imaginations are coming up with. It’s so fun to have Remi at an age where she can play back with Reece, instead of just playing along with Reece…if that makes sense. Remi loves to play with Harper, and I love seeing her take on more of a big sister role. She will get toys for Harper, and play alone with her when Reece is at school, or if Reece is doing something else. It’s pretty sweet.

Remi loves to dress up. She is always wearing a dress or dress up shoes, or frequently both! Remi also loves to hoard her little buddies: her stuffed animals. She is a big fan of Ariel and Rapunzel, and will usually carry around one or more of dolls of those characters. She has her ‘giraffey’ that she always has to have, too. Most nites she will go to bed in a dress, and with about 5-7 friends in her bed with her.

This sassy gal is pretty much daytime potty trained! I was so nervous for potty training (really struggled with it – on my end – with Reece) but it actually wasn’t too bad. I took a casual approach, and tried not to put too much pressure on Rem. She doesn’t do well with that. She actually had very few accidents, and rarely will even go in a pull up during nap anymore. I figure we’ll get super solid during the day before we start worrying about the nite. I’m glad it was mostly painless!

We just love Rem to pieces, and feel so blessed to have her in our family! She’s a joy to all of us!
