All about Caroline: 2ys 3 mo

Caroline is doing great these days!

  • She talks about anything and everything! I love it! She talks to us in the car about everything she sees outside....and the best is when she says "I love you!". On the way to church on Sunday she was looking out the car window and saw several parks. She kept saying "Caroline go to the park?" I would say "no, we are going to church right now" and she would say "Oh. I go to church and play with Vivian!"...."yes, Vivian will be in nursery" then she would say "Vivian go to park with Caroline?" I just love our little conversations!
  • She sings...but she will only do it if she thinks we are not listening. Yesterday I heard her banging on the piano and singing "now I now my ABC's next time sing with me!"
  • She has a sense of humor. She is always making jokes and laughing. She says "Caroline's funny!" and laughs the cutest laugh ever.
  • She goes to ballet/tap dancing now. She does great! She can walk on her tippy toes with her hands over her head. She can pliat (I think that's how you spell it), she can stand on one foot, she can skip, gallup, jump....it's really fun to go with her every week. She will have a recital in May. Hopefully by then she will be ok going on a stage.
  • She still loves baby dolls, and barbies. She is a little mommy.
  • She loves to paint, color, and play with play dough.
  • She knows a few colors and how to count to 3. I think she can count higher, but she gets embarrassed easily so she stops after 3.
  • She is 100% potty trained. She stays dry at night about 6 out of 7 nights. But, she puts a diaper on every night just in case. That's right, I said SHE puts a diaper on every night. She literally puts her own diaper on. She lays it out on the floor, lays on top of it and hooks the sides.
  • She has to do EVERYTHING by herself! She says "Caroline do it!" She gets herself dressed, puts her own shoes and socks on. The only thing she lets me do is her hair!
  • She refuses to sit in a high chair anymore which makes meals difficult. She has to sit in a big chair like mommy and daddy...only she keeps getting up. We are working on that.
  • She knows what her family is. When we ask her who her family is she says "Daddy, Mommy, AJ, and Caroline"
  • She loves her cousins...I told her last week she was going to their house for trick or treating! Every day she asked me about it. The day of Halloween we were doing some errands in the morning and she kept asking to take nap. She would say "I wake up and we go to cousins house!"
  • She is very controlling when it comes to playing with other kids. She likes to tell them what to do. "Here Jolie, you play with this one" If she takes a toy away from anyone she always replaces it with a new one so they still have something to play with, haha. My favorite was the other day when she got a stroller, baby doll and purse for her and Jolina and said "Let's go to the shopping mall Jolie." I asked her what she was going to buy there and she said "Candy and shoes!" A girl after my own heart!
  • She loves her baby brother...unless he is dirty or drooling. Just like daddy!
Here are some recent pictures of her.


Putting on her own diaper for bed!
Daddy and his babies!

Caroline got a fish!


Video of her playing with daddy. For some reason she does the video worthy things when she is in her underwear...
