Astoria Rose 3.5

Stori is now officially closer to age 4 than age 3 and is so much fun! She has started going to a little preschool story time at the library and loves going into the Princess Castle. (thats where her story time is). I take Sylvie to the toddler Story time while Stori is in her Story time. haha a lot of Stories happening right there.
But this girl is so ready to go to actual preschool. I tried finding one that started in January, but no such luck. So next year will have to do. We work on a lot of things at home, and she is getting really quite good at reading words. I try to add a new word to learn each week. A couple of days ago, Dan asked her how to spell Dad, and she told him! It caught me off guard because I knew she could read the word by recognizing it, but I had no idea she knew how to spell it. Turns out she can spell "the, dad, Stori and mom" when you ask her.
She is teaching herself basic addition and is always quizzing us on certain problems.
She is slowly learning to like coloring… she loves to paint, but has never really shown interest in coloring.
She loves to cut with scissors, use glue, and her all time favorite: CRAFT! She likes to find random things from outside or inside our house to make fun crafts with. After her craft is done, she likes to display it above her bed.
She loves her little sister and they are always giving each other loves. Stori will refuse to bathe unless Sylvie gets in with her, and they play until the water is cold (or beyond).
She is a great cleaner. She makes sure her bedroom is clean before she can fall asleep. Both her and Sylvie love to empty and load the dishwasher and washing machine/dryer. I don't think they realize they are doing chores! :)
Still loves dresses and is very picky with her clothing.
Loves Octonauts! one of my YW asked her what her name was on Sunday, and she told her it was Stori Quasi Radford. (Quasi is a character on that show). I am Peso, Sylvie is Turnip, and daddy is Capt. Barnacles.
She uses her imagination all day long, and is very entertaining for me! :)
She tells all of us that she loves us about 30 times a day-----she is my favorite 3 year old for sure! :)

These pictures were taken outside of the Provo Rec Center on Monday. The mountains were bright pink, but you can't tell. Rats.
