Nearly three going on thirteen!

WOW!! So, our little Berkley will be turning three this Saturday-June 19th. For the past six months, when people have stopped us in the grocery store and ask her how old she is she has replied, "2 1/2." Then, when asked when her birthday is, she very matter a factly replies, "June 19th." So, here we come JUNE 19th!!

She is already showing more and more signs of indepdence, her opinions, feelings, and ideas. Most are fun and exciting, some are interesting and challenging.

Yesterday after, we took Daddy to pick up his truck, Berkley was commentating while we drove down the road. "It looks like it is going to rain again Mommy." And she was right, within minutes of pulling into the garage...the rain came. In torrents, as it often does in West Texas. Berkley looked at me and said, (again matter a factly-is that how all three year olds speak?) "Mommy, I think you need to call your Mom and ask her to borrow her umbrella so that rain won't get on my head." Okay, so she gets the whole-Grandma is MY mom.

(While I am trying to complete this post, she decided that she needed some more water-helped herself to my bottle of water sitting on the computer desk and is now explaining her step, by step process of how she emptied all of my water into her cup. "Watch this. I poured it all in there. Then, yours was all gone."

So, we are in the process of moving---which is one LONG story and another reason I haven't posted in SO long....Our things have been packed for two months now. When we can't find something, little Berkley concludes it must be "packed."

"I am missing my purse Mommy-oh yeah, it must be packed." One night when I was tucking her into bed, she decided that she wanted her little stuffed, black puppy (Pie-pie) to join her......Quickly, she concluded (before I had figured out what to reply or do) "He must be packed." "Yes, he must be," I replied. Whew!!

Okay, so this post isn't quite as I intended but that's what happens when our schedule gets off, and Berkley woke up, after one hour saying "I grew skin!" That's our sign......So, we are getting ready to enjoy the cooler weather and go Scooter riding.

Tonight is supposed to be a BIG night, as she is going to have her first swimming lesson. She is a BRAVE one in the water.....a little fishy. We'll save the water stories for another post. Better scoot!
