Zurianna, Zurianna...what to say about my 3 year old. That she is a "threenager" most definitely. That she LOVES to be on the go and do something all the time? Most definitely. She is definitely in the phase of "let me do it myself" only to be quickly followed by frustration or excitement that she has actually done something.
I let her pick out her clothes with some guidance, start the bath water, help add bubbles, choose tv shows and snacks and even meals for school. She will not go for whatever I pick so it's best to just guide the process as best I can.
We are currently enrolled in our second session of swim lessons and she loves them. She was a little scared to do some of the stuff to start but then she "practiced" jumping into the water and "practiced" putting her face in the water. I love that she did these on her own. When she is scared of things I make her watch videos of the things so that she see's that it is fine and nothing to be scared of. We watched a lot of videos of kids jumping into the pool and so now she asks to see more. But she has made a great improvement this last month, mostly due to her wanting to do things, not so much because of our class which is only marginal.
"Avi" bought her some swim goggles and today she even brought those to show and tell.
We have had some issues with naps, as in she doesn't take them at all. And other issues where she falls asleep right before her "bunny" alarm goes off (bunny alarm shows a sleeping bunny and an awake bunny, so now she knows when she can get up..love this!) and then I have to wake her so she doesn't sleep until bed time. Which always leads to a cranky kid, unless it means she can "go somewhere".
Zuri loves our new puppies and still asks about Stella. She loves to play outside and run around and play with the "neighborhood". She is definitely high energy.
She loves Avi but then shoves her or hits her, probably will be that way forever, but hopefully not!
She had a lot of fun Easter egg hunting!
Some fun pictures of Zuri!
