Three

Erika turns 3 years old today. Last night, I went into her room and watched her sleep for a while. She has the exact same facial expression when she sleeps as she did the first night I watched her sleep. Matt and I are so blessed and fortunate to be able to watch her grow and get to know her as an amazing little girl! She is so smart and funny and kind and tenderhearted and she is the love of our lives. Erika is great with Laurel and helps me take care of her. Often, Laurel doesn't appreciate Erika making sure she doesn't get into trouble, but I do! Every day is more fun than the next day with Erika. She has such an awesome imagination and comes up with all sorts of games for us to play. We have really fun conversations with her.....her vocabulary is very big. She is stubborn and definitely lets us know what she wants to do and when she wants to do it. Luckily, her mom is stubborn as well and can usually win any strongholds we may have. But, the majority of the time, Erika is very sweet natured and fun and a really wonderful little girl to be around. Happy birthday to my sweet, beautiful little girl!
