Our Carlie-bug is THREE now and what a sweet & sassy little girl she is!
Carlie rang in her third year in style with two birthday parties (one a month early on Easter Day & the other on her actual birthday!) celebrated with family.
Since our last update, Carlie participated in an eight-week Toddler Time transitional preschool program. She loved her teachers and loved going to school! We were so proud of her marching in on her first day on her own & never looking back - no tears for our little girl! Her teachers thought she was just the cutest thing & they loved that half the time when they asked her a question, she would meow-out her answer! Why were we not surprised to hear that?

Carlie did an awesome job at her 3-year well-visit - she stepped right up on the scale & let them take her blood pressure. She was pleasant for the doctor and nurse & at the end, Carlie even asked me why she didn't get a shot! She measured in right at the 50th percentile for height and weight at 30lb and 36.5 inches (that's up 3" and 3lb from last year!).
Carlie also experienced her first dentist appointment just after her third birthday! She was a rock-star; she climbed right up onto the chair, let them count her teeth, clean her teeth with the "tickle toothbrush," and take some pictures inside with their fun little camera!

Carlie no longer uses a booster seat at the table, preferring to kneel if she isn't quite tall enough! She loves to say she can do all of those big-girl things that her sister does...except the potty. Despite our best attempts (several times!), she has firmly dug her heels on that one. Her day will come soon enough, I suppose! This mama's just in a panic, fearing we won't get to start preschool in the fall!
