Oh, Meli. What to say about this sweet, feisty little girl. She is approaching her 4th birthday, but all of the sudden has started some of the traits you would expect of a new 3 year old. Such the bother. Seriously! She has definitely been more challenging behavioral-wise then Colin (at each age), but she has not been horrible (especially from watching other kids and hearing stories)...but she is a strong-willed child (I should say girl) and that can be trying at times. So these new little tantrums or meltdowns are so not expected and far from cool. Hopefully, this phase is short-lived.
She likes to put her hair up for bath time now. Afterwards, she likes to take it down and see how crazy it looks. "Mama, I have crazy hair now". Adorable.
Meli has joined the world of videogames and loves them!! She is actually pretty good. I did not expect her to catch on so quickly. She loves playing Colin's Skylander game, Disney Infinity (Rapunzel - of course), Mario, and Epic Mickey. Her playing time is during my workout, which has made a big difference.
She loves to count and sing the ABC song. Her version anyway. We still go to MiMi's school twice and week. We will probably look at preschool here soon. I have heard about a very good one that is 4 times a week for 4 year olds.
I want to start her in ballet or some other dance class, but I want to wait a little longer. Right now, she is going through a no dress or skirt phase. She wants "clothes" which are pants and a shirt. She still loves dressing up in her princess dresses. Especially, when her friend Annie is here. They are just too cute together. Both tough girlie-girls. They dance and play princesses. Then turn around and play fighting with the boys (Colin and Jack - her brother).
Annie had a spa birthday party that Meli went to. She had such a good time getting pampered.
We have been having some late nights the past few months. The B kids do not do well with that. They need their sleep and even though they complain at times, they like their 7:30 bed time. With lack of sleep they both get grumpy. Plus, Meli gets mean and Colin gets whiney (sensitive). So not a good combination.
Even though we are dealing with some behavioral issues, she is such a fun and happy kid. One that we adore so much!
