She’s got the oh-so-straightforward and hilarious view on What To Expect When You’re Expecting that […]
Today, she is three.
Three is blue eyes and blond hair.
Three is feisty, three is stubborn.
Three speaks only in full sentences.
Three wiggles her behind and bops her head to the music.
Three is joined at the hip to her sister.
Three is always a step behind.
Three is solid little legs and squishy little […]
