It really seems unreal to me that Alissa turned 3 this week. It seems like she has been with us forever, yet I feel like she was just a baby. She has grown up so much!
Here are her 3 year old stats:
Weight: 27.25 (15%)
Height: 36 (27%)
Here are a few things that I want to remember about Alissa being 3:

Favorite thing to do: play stuff with my stuff and Ella's stuff
Favorite place to go: Leo's

**Ella is her bestest friend ever and Molly drives her nuts. She and Molly constantly fight and hit and bite and kick and push. I am told they will be the best of friends so I hope this true one day.. and soon.
**She seems to win the heart of a lot of people pretty easily. She is so tiny yet has such a HUGE personality. I love these pictures of her with her Aunt Heidi.
**She has a tiny voice, but says some really grown up things. She cracks us up often. She is really smart! She knows many of letters of the alphabet and sounds, many shapes and all colors.
**She is really independant and really smart on real life stuff like going bathroom, buckling her seatbelt, getting herself a drink of water or getting dressed. Even though she still likes help with it, she can do it herself. She is very coordinated which helps a lot!
**She likes taking showers and does almost every morning as I'm in the bathroom getting ready for the day.
**She LOVES strawberry milk and asks for it usually twice a day.
**Most of her shirts are tagless because we bought them that way or we have cut the tag out because it makes her absolutely crazy.
**She likes to "read" us a story. She makes up the story as she is looking at the pictures on the page. I love the cute things she comes up with.
**She LOVES puzzles & play dough, dress up & babies.
**She requires less sleep than any of my kids. She is generally last asleep and first awake. She goes and goes all day long which I'm sure is the reason she is so tiny!
**Some of her nicknames have been:
Lissy Liss (Mostly Dad), Lissa, Alissy, Lissa Lou (Mostly Mom), Kolipokie
I just love this girl so much and feel so blessed that she is my daughter and a part of our family. She is just a tiny bundle of happiness and energy and we LOVE her just the way she is!
She had a super fun birthday.
She got to open a gift before dad left from work and was tortured by Ella's gift that she didn't get to open until Ella got home from school.
She had a sprinkle pancake with a candle in it. She thought that was pretty neat.
At 11:00 we went and picked Ella up from school so she could go to the McDonalds play place with us. I'm glad we did. Alissa loves having Ella there to play with. We tried to go do the build-a-bear thing at Hobby Town, but they were selling the machine and now making any more bears so that didn't work out.
After taking Ella back to school we went to see Heidi working at Jamba Juice.
She let Alissa help her make our Jambas.
And a quick trip to Toys R Us where grandma Debbie spoiled her with a few new toys.
When Ella got home from school our little neighbor friend, McKenzie Lee (who Alissa calls "MY KENZIE" because she loves her so much) came to have a little party with the girls.
Kenzie brought Alissa those awesome clip on earrings that she is sporting above her real earrings.
Minus Molly - they all got their own candle to blow out.
They ate Princess cupcakes. I turned a cupcake upside down and stuffed a clean Polly Pocket in and then frosted it. They turned out pretty cute I thought.
Ella and Alissa decided which girl they were as I was frosting them and when I turned around Ella's girl had Prince Charming next to it. :) She is so stinking boy crazy!
Then they did each other's make up until they felt so "gorgeous" as they kept saying. At this exact time Kenzie was doing Alissa's make up, she told Kenzie her daddy was her Prince. I wish he could have been there to hear it.
After the little friend party we headed to Leo's Place for pizza and another play place. A bunch of family and friends met up with us there. It was really nice and Alissa loved every minute of it. We had to pry her out of the play place to sing Happy Birthday to her and again to open her presents and again to leave. She just loved running around with all her friends and cousins.
