3 is here!

I cannot believe the kids are 3! I had so much I wanted to accomplish this year and I think we are getting there.

• Big Kid Beds - This is accomplished and was a smoother transition than I thought.  Sara moved to her big bed in January and Danyal in March.  It has been a lifesaver when they are sick. Though now they want to come in mommy's bed.
• Cups - I had enough of cleaning the sippys and tossed them all June 1st. That was it. They are onto big kid cups except for in the car. 
• Potty training - Sara has been accident free and dry overnights and on naps since June 25th! Danyal finally now uses the potty and is dry overnight and after naps but still has some accidents (1 a week or so). 
• Languages - They now speak full sentences in French!
• Swimming - We are starting up in September in the big kid class. This is huge! It means I don't have to get in the water!

This morning they knew it was their birthdays and they sang to each other. The things they do these days melt me. I have to say 3 is better than 2, here is why

• When sara gets up at the crack of dawn she will stand next to me as I get ready and the kid will brush her teeth the whole time!
• They hugs they give each other and the "i love you's" oh my gosh!
• Their personalities have gotten huge! Sara is the mommy and nurturing type and Danyal is all boy and all 3. Whoaaa. It is going to be a long fun year. 
• They are more independent. I still have to make sure they stay alive these days but they can get dressed, put their dirty clothes away, go potty by themselves.  

I cannot wait to see what changes the next year brings. I am sure as we move into another year of pre-school Sara will talk more, and Danyal will continue to be the leader he is.
