Life of a 3 1/2 year old

I adore my baby brother. Now that he is more interactive, we make each other laugh. Well, actually, I make him laugh by just being me, and his laughing is contagious! I always want to play with him, eat whatever breakfast he's having, or stay in sleepy clothes if he is. I am very protective, and start panicking when he is crawling near a step. I like carrying him around, even if I'm pretty rough. But he giggles when we both fall so I know he likes it!

He is nice to hug, kiss and cuddle with too.

At 3 1/2, my favorite game is still pretend everything. I recruit my entire family so everyone gets in on the fun. Currently, I like being the prince, while I make Mommy be Sleeping Beauty and Sebastian be Cinderella. I kiss Sleeping Beauty Mommy; I bow upon meeting Sebastian Cinderella and we dance. In both stories, we always ride the carriage to the castle, get married, kiss and live happily ever after.

I love weddings and the concept of getting married. I tell Mommy all the time that I will marry her. And Sebastian.

I like being physical too. Daddy and I play "circus" where I climb Daddy and stand on his shoulders. Or, I balance on his feet and stand with just one leg and one hand. Perhaps I have a future career with Cirque du Soleil.

While Daddy has become my best friend, I think it's funny to be mean to him too. For example, I would hand out a treat/toys to Mommy and Sebastian but not give him any, or give everyone nice stamps but give him the mean one. He is always laughing at my silliness.

I still dislike most foods that are green because "it's a veggie". Even if it is a speck of an herb, I feel that my food has been contaminated. There are a few vegetables I do like however. One that surprises my parents is how much I like radicchio and red cabbage. It is purple, and purple is my favorite color. I dip it in yuzu dressing, and it is delicious! I eat a whole plate of this salad.

I am about 27 pounds now, still svelte, but hey my build looks just right for my ballet dress.
