3 and a Half

Last week we celebrated Miss A's half birthday.  As it worked out, E had a late work meeting on her actual half birthday, so he wasn't going to be home for dinner.  But, E works with Miss A's friend Miss E's daddy, so we invited Miss E (with Mom and baby bro) over for dinner.  We had pizza and cupcakes, and the girls had so much fun running around dressed up like princesses!

Miss A wasn't up for any pictures on the 25th, but I convinced her to take a few pictures at her cousin's birthday party over the weekend.  She's tall and lean with a bunch of crazy curls (her dress is 5T... and looks short on her!).  She talks constantly, and asks so many questions.  She likes to sing songs she knows, and she likes to make up her own.  She's stubborn.  She will only do things when she's ready.  She's wary to try new things, but opens up to new people quickly.  She constantly has a new "best" friend.  She doesn't like it when people are sad, even/especially Little J ("Are you okay, baby? is a common question).  She's still Daddy's girl most of all.

Now that Miss A is a little older, I thought I would ask her a few questions to go along with my thoughts.  So, here's her take at 3 and a half.
