Just thinking about how much she's grown

I was just sitting here at work thinking about how much Millie has grown in such a short period of time. You can actually carry on a lengthy conversation with her and her vocabulary is extraordinary (hey, I'm a little biased). Sometimes I forget that she is only 3 years old.

I love to ask her different questions to hear the response. She has such a big imagination, and just thinks of ideas off the cuff. And she is also very thoughtful. Every time we go to a public restroom, after she has washed and dried her hands, she always wants to get the paper towels ready for the next person. Of course, children practice what they see (and trust me, I'm not bragging, but I do like to do that too).

Some of her favorite foods right now are peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, black beans (she has loved those since she was a baby), fruit (which I'm learning is rare for some kids), Kashi breakfast bars, chocolate milk, cereal, oatmeal (dry and cooked), hard-boiled eggs, juice and water (yes, she still gets it diluted because she asks for it like that).

Here are two pictures of Millie in her school uniform....one when she started Rock Springs Christian Academy in January, 2010 and the other on her 2nd day of school.

Grown a lot, in more ways than one....
