Naveah just turned 3!!! What a girl she has blossomed into. She keeps everyday entertaining.
I love her over exaggerated laughter and her devilish grin. Her enthusiam to do things and the look on her face when she talks so serious. Her favorite show is "The Wonder Pets". This has made her daily life one giant musical. She sings everything she does and everywhere we go and everyone we see has become a mission to save them. For those of you who have seen the show will know exactly what im talking about. I quite often here Her and Kael arguing over how the Wonder Pets song goes.
She is still in love with Dinosaurs. The Land Before Time is one of her favorite movies and recently she has added Ice Age 3:Dawn of the Dinosaurs to list of 'must watch daily's'. She likes Triceratops and Stegosauras' the most but depending on the day it may be 'sharp tooth' or 'little foot' instead. Shes managed to get quite the collection of dinosaurs so heres hoping she likes them for a while yet!!!
She has a very creative imagination. She scoops food out of books for snacks and animals for cuddle. She has started 'Role Playing' as well and its so cute to watch or listen to her playing with Kael, or any of her friends shes with. Shes usually shopping for toys, acting like 'Mom', on a mission to save someone or just plain ol' makin a mess! I love when she comes up with this stern look on her face and in a whisper she shakes her finger at me and says "you have to be quiet, the monsters are sleeping, ok?....ok".
She is one of the messiest kids I know. There is always dirt, food, pen, chalk and other questionable things all over her face and usually her clothes too. Clean clothes only last minutes on her. Her hair, even if done, will be a frizzy disaster before we leave the house. Her shoes are never on the right feet and most trips to the bathroom result in a 'Kris Kross' flashback! And she is CONSTANTLY falling down.
Shes cheeky, sweet, quirky, loud, messy, and sometimes monsterous. She will give you a run for your money when she wants something and its often hard to bargain with her. She'll come up and gently touch your cheek, tilt her head to the side and say "I love you more!" and then demand that you say "I love you most".
She says and does the darndest things. While I wish I wrote more of these down here are some of the ones I can remember...
"I fell off the toilet like a turtle"
"Theres a shark in my tummy" or "theres a crab in my mouth" (usually when shes sick)
When telling her she needs to clean her toys or id take them away she turns to Kael and sings "this is SERIOUS!" (again, you would have had to have seen Wonder Pets to get it)
Naveah ran up to me and wrapped her arms around my legs and yelled "I LOVE YOU MOMMY", I then realized we were standing in the toy aisle.
After catching Naveah chowing down on a bowl of honeydew I had set aside for myself she turns to me and says "oh Thank you Mommy...is this for me!?" (dripping mouthful and all)
Naveah came to the kitchen window (from the outside) while i was prepping dinner, climbed up on the bench and peeked her head in the window and proceeds to order lunch... "Ill have a cheeseburger and a coffee please!"
Kael: Mommy, why do you have a clip in your hair. Naveah: Because she is pretty like ME!
Naveah once informed me that Sharp tooth, Optimus Prime AND the Seaweed Monster are in the basement and the best way to 'kill them' is with a (plastic) wrench. Within moments of recieving this information she also told me that Godzilla and baby Godzooky are here too. but its okay cause they are good guys. (phew! thank goodness!)
Naveah heard Evan and I talking about the earthquakes in Japan. She piped in, slightly panicked "a Sharp Tooth earthquake!?.......is Cera ok!!!" (refer back to Land Before Time)
after dropping kael off at playschool naveahs asks "are we gunna go to play place?" me "no sweety we need to go home." naveah "oh, cause our house is on fire?"......Yah I dont know where that came from.
while in the bath Naveah starts lining up all the purple foam letters on the side of the tub "what are you doing Naveah?" I asked. " Im building a WORD!!!" she then puts her hands on either side and squishes the letters together. hahaha (Refer to kids show Word World)
Naveah is such a spunky soul and and she brings light to every room she is in. We love this little girl SO much and look forward to seeing her grow up. Happy Birthday Naveah!
***********
I asked Naveah what she wanted for her Birthday. She said "cake!". So I went with it. I made her yummy pancakes for breakfast....
for lunch we invited a couple friends along with us to McDonalds to have 'cheeseburger cakes' and cupcakes! While it was rediclously busy and ill never take my kids there again, they still had a great time.
Originally we planned to have a camping birthday party for her but those plans had to change because it rained the entire weekend we were gunna go. So instead we invited people over for a Movie and Popcorn.
We had lunch then opened presents. Then we all cozied up downstairs and watched "The Land Before Time".
Big thanx to Krista, Bethany, Meghan and Tiffany who helped make her birthday just THAT much more fun!
