Three Years Old!

Yes, it's true...Kourtney turned three years old today! I am in complete shock! And, I've been near tears all day. I cannot believe my baby girl is no longer a baby, in any way shape, or form. She is incredibly independent, and reminds me constantly that since she's "free yer old" now, she can do everything by herself.

Here are a few pictures from her day today:

This is my beautiful not-so-little girl with her amazing smile. She was very excited to say "cheese" for the picture, and couldn't wait to share her sunshine with the rest of the world.

Some things about the last year that I never want to forget:

*You have developed a new love for PIZZA this year. It is your absolute favorite food, and you would eat it for every meal if we would let you.

*Potty training has been one of your biggest accomplishments. I would LOVE it if you would poop in your own potty (I promise, it serves the same function as the Wal-Mart potty!)!

*You used to hate having your hair done...Now, picking out the pretties to put in your hair is a daily pleasure.




*Your silly side has become a daily entertainment for all of us! You have an incredible sense of humor, which is very well-developed for a "free yer old." I love it when you make jokes, and then laugh at them!

*You have suddenly decided that your tongue belongs outside of your mouth instead of inside, despite Mommy's warnings that it's going to fall off one day if you keep sticking it out.

*You are one of the most impatient people I have ever known. You go from happy and playful to a fit-throwing monster in a matter of seconds. Your latest tantrums include thrashing, kicking, screaming, and all kinds of other fun things. It's hard not to laugh! The older you get, the more creative your fits get!

*You have developed quite the attitude this year. You don't take any bull from anyone, and will do and say whatever it takes to get your way.

I love you more and more each day. While I am enjoying the person that you are becoming, I'm devastated that it's happening so quickly.

Your mommy is so proud of you, Kourtney! You are an incredibly intelligent, fun, spunky, driven, loving little girl. I cannot believe how fast your are growing up...feel free to slow down just a little bit!
