Lina is 3!

Happy Birthday, my sweet girl!

20. November 2014

 

So what to tell about you? There is so much to say that I just don´t know where to start.
Your transition from this little babygirl... just months ago... into this self-confident and determining toddler is incredible. I hardly come along. So much has changed during the last year even for you.

I started to work which means you have days without me and you are doing great. You started with kindy in September and you are doing fine, too. It seems like nothing is really a problem for you. There were pretty lots of moments earlier when I couldn´t imagine to leave you for just a moment because you would be sad so much. But... you did great... hooray!

So... what is a day in your life at the moment?

Sleep

You get up pretty early in the morning... about 6.00-7.00... and come to our room staight. Sometimes Max is already sleeping in our bed as he comes around 5.00. So you take a quick look where is enough space and then you slip under the blanket rubbing your little thin body to mine. When you are warmed up you go back to your room to go to the potty and dress yourself.

Your sleep is great. You go through the night without interruptions... just for peeing around midnight. Going to bed in the evening is no problem either... sometimes you come out a few times asking for cuddles, kisses, stories, lullabies or water. This is very cute!

Clothes

Your first and real passion... beautiful clothes. You are pretty choosy, so the most important thing is to put out everything for the day the evening before. If we wouldn´t, we were late every single day.
You prefer dresses and when I "force" you to wear pants or jeans because of cold bad weather you are really grumpy. Sweet... but exhausting, haha!

Washing

You love being clean. I guess that´s indeed one of the reasons you have no more diapers since you are one and a half. Doing the care in the morning and evening has neither been a problem for you nor for your brother.

You love getting face cream on and already love getting some gloss on the lips too, ha!
The only thing we stopped for a while is letting you two take a bath together because the noise and mess you make is unbearable. Let´s try again in a few weeks...

Kindergarden

Kindy started in September and all I can say is that you love love love going there. I cannot remember how often you had asked me when you would be allowed to join Max and how often I told you that you had to wait until autumn. "When is autumn mama?" again and again...

The first day I let you there was... nevertheless... pretty exciting. Maybe you would not like staying without me? So we decided to give you a gentle introduction and take you home after an hour or two... letting you stay longer day by day.
But... on the first day... you told me "Bye mama!!! I´m not going to cry! Bye-Bye!" So I left you... and you didn´t even ask for me... once!

Max took your hand and introduced you to his friends and showed you everything you should know...

best big brother and best beginning ever I guess!?

Max

One of the best things is our family is... having two children. Of course there were and... still are... situations when you think you are driving crazy but it was the best decision ever to have you two.

Youlove each other from the bottom of your hearts and it is heartwarming and the most beautiful thing to see you hug and kiss.
Since you are in kindy together you found a new way to play, too. The conversations are beyond hilarious and your ideas and creativity amazing. It´s not necessary to entertain you because you always find a way to be occupied especially when you see me working.

Playing

You love this typical girly stuff... dolls, everything sparkling and glittering, pink LEGO, Barbie, drawing and browsing through books. Going to your room and playing busily there for quite a while is nothing uncommon. When I come to see you, I usually find you talking to your dolls, dressing and undressing them... or yourself haha!... singing and dancing, sitting on the floor or the bed reading a book or building cars and houses with LEGO.
I could burst with pride because you are so good.
