Eloise is THREE!

LOVES:
 - Bike rides (with us, or on her Strider)

 - All things Disney, but especially the princesses and Frozen characters the most

 - Watching animated movies

 - Fruit, ice cream, and breakfast foods
 - Playground
 - Back tickles

 - Reading books

 - Looking at "I Spy" books

 - Trampolines

 - Helping cook and clean

 - Wearing dresses every single day

 - Coloring and painting

 - Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon

 - Running around outside

 - All things water: pool, bath, water table, dishes, etc.

 - Hiking

 - Imaginary play, especially with her princess and animal figurines

 - Anna and Elsa braids in her hair

 - Putting on makeup with me

 - The color pink

 - Dancing AKA running in circles 

 - Wearing princess clothes

DISLIKES:
 - Vegetables and most meat
 - Loud, sudden  and unknown noises

 - Engine noises
 - Boogers in her nose

 - Being sick or hurting in any way

NEW SKILLS:
 - Counting to 20 (usually correctly? haha)

 - Pee trained on the potty!

 - Gliding on her Strider for 10+ feet

 - Hiking for over a mile at a time

 - Knowing all her basic shapes and colors

 - Knows most letters and numbers 0-9

 - Drawing recognizable things/shapes

 - Climb nearly everything at most parks

RANDOM NOTES:
 - Still takes a nap nearly every day, though I'm not sure how much longer that will last. If the nap is longer than an hour, it usually takes Eloise a while to fall asleep that night. She still goes to bed at 7:30 pm sleeps until about 7:30 am.

 - Never had a haircut in her life, and her pretty hair is now down to her waist. She dislikes it tucked behind her ears, and constantly holds it out of her face with her right hand when she doesn't have a clip in or have it out of her face.

 - Breakfast is her best (and favorite) meal, and she tends to eat a little less for lunch, and less for dinner.

 - Does a wonderful job peeing on the potty, but refuses to go number two and still wears a pull-up when sleeping.

 - Loves to talk and with chatter at you all day long. She also loves to narrate what she is doing, and also will say what she wants you to say to her.

 - Lou is still sooo ticklish, and loves to be tickled! She laughs especially hard when you tickle her while giving her a hug or while wrestling.

I have to include just a few of my favorite photos of Eloise from the last few months ish :)

I desperately wanted to record more of Eloise, but it is hard to remember exactly what she was like a few months ago. I guess that is the problem when I fall behind on my blogs! But I still can't believe we have a three year old! She is feisty and beautiful and tough and absolutely hilarious. We love you, Eloise!!
