Almost three

One week from Monday she'll be three years old.  It's hard to believe, because she seems like my baby but also it seems like she's been around for longer than three years, much longer.  My mom sent me an email with some party stuff for sale and said "maybe you'd want this for Veronica's party" and I thought oh, crap!  A party!  I still don't know what we'll do.  Veronica doesn't really have any friends of her own yet.  I mean, she has two friends at school, Brookie and Halie, but I don't really know their moms so I couldn't invite them to a party.  Anyways.  We'll see.  I know she wants a Tinkerbell cake, at least she did a few weeks ago when she saw one in the window at the bakery.

She is doing very well with the potty training.  Not VERY well, I guess.  I guess if she were doing VERY well, she wouldn't have peed on her underwear, "just a little" and taken them off and handed them to me while I was sitting at the table at Chic Fil A today.  BUT she goes in the bathroom on her own most of the time and she did perfectly one out of two days at school this week, so we'll take it.  She wants to be in underwear, which is half the battle.  Ha, we were at a party on Sunday, though, and she had already peed through one outfit so she was in her second.  She came walking up to me and my friend's boyfriend said "I think she has mud on her foot" and I thought no, not mud, and it wasn't.  Sigh.  It's hard at a party, right?  Hard to stop partying?  She's like Lindsay Lohan or something, ha!

She has been driving us insane and I mean INSANE lately.  Maria wakes her up too early and then she is grumpy for most of the day.  She cries and whines a lot, she takes off her clothes in public, and if you speak even the slightest bit sharply to her, she BURSTS into tears and cries for 20 minutes, super loudly.  Her hair will never grow back from where Maria cut it, LORD GOD these girls have some fine hair.  Um, what can I say to end this on a positive note?  She is super sweet with Felicity.  She never wakes up when you move her from the floor to her bed at night.  Um.  Her teacher loves her and she has always done great at school, every single day of this year.  There.
