Sequoia:
*She loves to pretend she is a boy. Every time the two of them play house, she is either the big brother or the little brother. She is always saying that she is a boy. Lincoln one day said, "Sissy, do you really think you are a boy, or are you just pretending?" (He gets frustrated sometimes when she says she is. He is the boy!) She finally admitted that day that she is just pretending:)

*We have made a deal. When she goes to school in the morning, she has to wear girl clothes with Mom's help. Then when she gets home, she can change into whatever kind of outfit of Lincoln's she wants (with his permission). Its been working fairly well, other than the days we have to run errands later in the afternoon and I'm taking my daughter around dressed like a boy. I even had a kid comment about it while we were at Linc's soccer game. They said, "Hey, look what that girl is wearing!!" I guess she'll just have to get used to comments:)
*One day while we were getting the kids in bed and Quoi was picking out clothes for school the next day, she said, "Um, I think I want to wear something girly tomorrow." Inside I was freaking out! Ah! I tried to be as casual as I could and say, "Ok, yeah that's cool." But really I wanted to shout!! She is just too cute. I'm sure when she starts liking boys she will be thinking differently;)

*She LOVES school! I came to her class to visit for the day. She was so funny about it. I could see that school is HER thing and she is ok not sharing:) I'm glad I went so I could get to know her teachers and kids in the classroom, but I probably won't be going back all day any time soon. She loves her teachers (Miss Debbi, Lori and Tiffany), she gets along well with the kids in her class, and also has a friend from church in her class.
*She is doing very well in school. I talked to one of her teachers one day and said that she might be bored when she gets to kindergarten because she knows almost everything they are teaching. Quoi has her brother to thank for that. Anything that we teach Lincoln, she is right there beside him soaking up every word, even when she pretends she isn't;)
She loves to play with dinosaurs and knows many of their names.
She likes to go to the library and play with the puzzles there and get lots of books. She loves to read with Mommy, Linc, and Daddy.
She loves to go to The Science Zone and wishes we went more often. Her favorite thing there was the sand pit. She was talking about playing with that first on our way the last time we went, and when we got there, we found out they got rid of it. Her face was so sad! She also likes to play in the toddler section there too.
Her favorite color is Dark Blue.
She still loves her "cold blankie" and will not sleep without it.
She has a few prominent personalities. (She's just like her Mommy that way.) She acts like a boy and is super tough. Then on occasion will be super shy and baby like, especially around people she doesn't know. Then she is super silly! She gets in these moods and gets so funny and hyper. Oh, and I can't forget her smart mouth attitude! Mom has SO much fun with that one!! I love seeing all her different moods and personalities. She is such a fun little girl!
*One day she was supposed to be in her room for rest time and she kept coming out. I was trying to sleep on the couch, and Dad was downstairs. I asked her a few times to go back to her room and was starting to get frustrated with her. She turned to me and said, "Mom, you be quiet!" and pointed her little finger at me. Mike heard her and from downstairs you could hear, "Sequoia! You listen to your mom and go to your room right now!!" She booked it as fast as she could! Then at her door turned and whispered to me, "Mom, you're lying!" Oh my! Of course I was up very quickly and she got a swat on her bottom. This little girl can melt my heart and make me so angry. We love her:)
*I look her in for her 3 yr old check up just after her birthday. She weighed 27 lbs (13%) and I don't remember how tall :/ (9%). She is a small little girl. When Dr Strand came in, he was concerned with her weight because it was the same 6 months previous. Then he checked her heart and noticed she had a slight murmur. He wanted us back in 3 months. That was about a week ago. She still has the murmur in the same place, so he wants us to go get an echo done. We are going in next Wednesday for it. The doctor thinks it is innocent and doesn't want us to be worried at all, but still wants to get it checked just in case. I hope she does well and cooperates for the ultrasound and all is well:)
She is very good at playing on her own and very imaginative. She can think up of so many different things to play and do. And on occasion has a "friend" playing with her. Sometimes "Carter" or "Jett" (girl) or her "puppy." She was devastated one day when we were about to have lunch at the table, I was getting hungry and grouchy, and she kept wanting me to hold her "puppy." I finally took him, pet his back, then "threw" him off the table so we could eat. I wasn't thinking!! Sorry I threw your "puppy" Quoi! I'm sure he was just fine.
*I love having this little girl around. She is such a little sweetie and always has something going on. She is going to be a fantastic big sister!!
