3 1/2

I can't believe Kenzie is 3 1/2....now she's closer to 4 than 2...when did this happen?

Next year she'll be in Pre-K! Whoa!
I've been talking about school with her a lot recently...some days she seems excited, some days not so much! So I'm very excited to see what September brings! It's still up in the air right now where she will go to school....hopefully she will get into our district's UPK which is everyday but from what I hear, it's very hard to get in. They choose the kids on a lottery system so it's just completely random! If she doesn't get into UPK she'll hopefully go to a nursery school in a nearby church 3 days a week. Who knows....but either way I'm sure she'll do great and make lots of little girlfriends! (no boyfriends!! hehe jk) :)

Here are some cute little things I do not want to forget about Kenzie @ 3 1/2....

*Loves the color purple! (Red is her second favorite she says)

*She will always point out people's favorite colors....Jeff told her that his favorite color is green and now she gets so excited to show him something green. She also uses it to her advantage....she will ask "daddy will you play with me?" Jeff will say something like "i can't right now" and Kenzie will reply "but look the doll has a green shirt on" or "but you can color with the green crayon"

*The other day Kenzie went to my room to get a blanket...she came back with a pink one and said "I'll use this pink blanket b/c Abbie loves pink and Abbie is my best friend"

*Her favorite toys are: her stuffed dogs, princesses, and My Little Pony

*Will say "hurry on" instead of "hurry up" I just love it!

*A few weeks back Jeff & I were pretending to argue who loves Kenzie more...she grabs both of our hands and says in a very serious tone "ok, ok...you both love me!"

*Still loves her blankie....and Pups!! She brings them everywhere!!!! Kenzie's Sunday School teacher told me that Pups now says the verses with the other kids!! :) I often see her loving on Pups like I do with her...for example yesterday I was watching Kenzie with Pups and she goes "aww I love you Pups...I just can't stop kissing you" as she kissed him over and over! :)

*A couple weeks ago Sophie's fish "Shiny" died...I told Kenzie about it and she didn't say much. Later that day we had this conversation:
Me: "Mommy has to go to work this week"

Kenz: "Nee Nee too? "
Me: "Yes "
Kenz: "Nee Nee has to stay home to make Shiny feel better!"

*Although "Pups" is her favorite I just have to list the others b/c I love the names she picks out for them: Pepperoni, Tinkerbell, Blacky Whitey Browny (which has been turned to Jasmine), Tootie, Snowball, Butterball, Whitey, Bell....

*According to Kenzie, Levi is her brother...not her cousin!

*The other day at dinner she puts her head on her hands, sighs and says "I've had a hard day"....ahhh to live the life of a 3 year old! :)

*Loves Scoobi Doo and will ask to watch it every morning....but Jeff & I just had to limit the amount of Scoobi Doo she watches b/c we aren't sure if it's related or not but since she's been watching the show she has been sooo scared of monsters!!

*The other night I brought Kenzie to our bed since she was scared of her room.....she was laying down staring at me and playing with my hair and says "Mommy you have a beautiful nose!" LOL

*Loves animals...favorites are cats, dogs & horses...she will say when she's 5 she's going to ride a horse and not be scared!

*The other day we were walking outside when it was getting dark....Kenzie looks at the moon closes her eyes and makes a wish "I wish I can ride a unicorn" and then blows the moon a kiss! hehehehe...so sweet! :)

*Loves to pick out her own outfits....she will often ask me if we are going anywhere that day...and if I say no she'll quickly run to her drawers to pick out her outfit! :) I have learned to like it! :)

*I'm not too sure when it started....I think awhile ago but we seldom call her Makenzie or Kenzie she's usually Kennie! My brother in law even took it a step further and has called her Kenneth a few times!! LOL Yea, we nipped that in the bud right away! :)

Ahhh man we just love this little girl!! :)
