The Nellsters turned 3!

Nellie Mae turned 3 and I cannot find one Picture from her Birthday! What have I done? I do not even recall if I took pictures or not. Well it was a low key event. We had the Grandparents over for a Bar B-Q.

Moving on, I get the guilts when it comes to Nellie. She is the lone child stuck home with me! When I work mad hours I feel worse. So the pics display some of the shinanigans she gets herself into just for entertainment. There are days I wish she had a twin to play with :(

We recently resolved that and got a kitten (post to come soon)!

She is such a fun kid, not my baby no more. It was like she knew she was turning 3! Two weeks before she turned 3 she turned into a turd. Terrible two's did not apply to this kid she is a 3 year old turd. Good thing we love her lots and I find myself giving in way more with her just to calm the storm of a tantrum she can pull. I even make the kids give into her way too much to pipe her down. I must say she is still fun at times and says the darndest things. She is in a pre-school playgroup and is learning a lot! She asks every day to play with Kayci (her cousin) and Tanner and Tanner's little sister (Taegan). "Where are my friends?" She says!
She recently was playing at Tanner's and came running home all on her own. This was two doors down. She knocked on our door and when I opened it she was butt naked. It was hilarious and I was counting down the seconds for Liz (Tanner's Mom) to show up with her clothes and in a panic!
She is an escape artist and such a social butterfly, naked and all. She keeps the whole family on our toes!
She still requires her sippy and milk OFTEN! She has to sleep with her blankets just right and has a small camping light in her bed with her every night! She hates "spicey" tooth paste ha ha! She freaks out if you drive the car and she is not buckled in. She loves loves loves to play with Logan and Rileigh. Rileigh is "Mom" and I am "Grandma!"
I hate that she is growing up so fast it makes me sad. She still let's me snuggle with her so that is GOOD! She'll say, "Let's get snuggly Mom." Makes my heart melt...
