Finnley is THREE!!

My sweet sweet Finnley girl is THREE years old!!

I can hardly handle it because she is so ready to be three!

Finnley has had quite the year as a two year old.  We have battled with some serious emotions, meltdowns, fears, insecurities, among other challenges and have seen some major improvements with our oils, specifically our Unicorn Blend.  She moved into Ellie's room, out of her crib and into the bottom bunk of their bunk bed, she became a BIG sister, and is our first child to have broken a bone, her cousin broke her collar bone barely 2 weeks after Séamus was born.  She stopped sucking her fingers, plays independently both inside and out, and she started Preschool!

Finnley loves to play outside, Mickey and Minnie Mouse, is starting to show a slight interest in potty training, and is almost as tall as Ellie.  Her favorite foods are chicken nuggets, smoothies, milk, graham crackers, and pretzels.  She actually likes chocolate!! and turns her nose up at anything green...unless its a gummy.  She loves baths, does so well at gymnastics, and is even starting to like the pool!

She knows her colors, can do some counting, and says letters. She insists that we are all living in "her house", her brother is Shamey Schu not Séamus, and that she can put her oils on all by herself.  She will spend an hour looking at our photo albums naming all of the people in our family, putting legos together, and loves all the littlest toys she can find.
 

Finnley has been known to eat paper, her favorite word is still "NO!!!!!", and her vocabulary is growing every single day.  She participates in circle time at school, loves to sing songs, and now with our Unicorn Oil she will even participate and play at the Library play group!  She refuses to wear her hair in a ponytail or clip/bow, runs circles in our house every night, and tries to do everything that Ellie does.  She loves to be "First" for everything and refuses to concede that she is in fact not first.

It blows my mind every day at how completely hilarious she is.  Like how does she even know how to be as funny as she is?  She makes the best faces, flutters her eyebrows, and is just 100% goofy.  Though her emotions be strong she is a server at heart.  She lines up our shoes, loves to do all the chores, and I can pretty much count on her being the first one to help start cleaning up.  She is also fiercely independent and likes to do things all on her own: her shoes, her clothes, the door, her seatbelt...and even though she can't quite do them on her own, she will fight you for the opportunity to try it first and is adamant that she can do it herself and does not want any of your help....until she does! 

My sweet sweet Finnley Ann you are everything I hoped for and dreamed of.  You sure do give me my run for my money but I wouldn't want it any other way, because of you I am a better Mama, because of you I am learning so much more, because of you I see so much growth.  I love you sweet Finnley.  Thank you for being you!! Here is to Three!!
