37 Months Old

Hannah is now 37 months old.  Here's the latest:

*She is very much into her dolls.  She carries them all over the house, wraps them up in blankets, puts them to sleep, sings to them, and tells them stories. 

*She has conversations with "grandma" on the phone regularly.  A common one-sided conversation typically goes something like "Uh huh.  Yeah.  I love you very much.  Bye."

*She loves to sort.  The magnetic letters on our fridge are always grouped together by color.  A couple of weeks ago in church she had a box of crayons, in which she had very little interest in coloring, but she picked out all of the blue ones for Jason, pink ones for her, and red ones for me (Jack would have gotten green, but he was in the nursery).

*She LOVES her sandbox.  I'm hoping that she'll be spending lots of time in it this summer.

*She likes to say grace at dinner every night.  Typically, she folds her hands, bows her head (and makes sure that we're doing the same) and says something about about her friends.  Amen!

*She is a big helper around the house.  Some things she helps with include unloading the dishwasher, loading and unloading clothes into the washer and dryer, putting both her own and Jack's clothes away, making her bed, and feeding JJ.

*She continues to love to sing.  We regularly hear a Sound of Music medley, the ABC song, Jesus loves me, and many others.

*She went on her first boat ride of the season with Jason a couple of nights ago.  I don't know who was more excited to go.  They were both very happy when they returned.

*She is in the process of giving up her afternoon naps, which makes me very sad.

*She would wear her bathing suit every day if we let her.
