This is what Helen does...or a day in the life of a 3 yr old


...makes the best of a cold snowy day...



...models a super cute fleece hat making craft at FCC Chinese New Year...



...visits the Midtown Global Market for Wee Wednesday events...



...hangs with BFF Lily...


...and mugs for mom's cellphone camera!

  
7:30 am  Wakes up, I go in her room to open the shades, say "good morning" - that kind of thing. 
Says, "I wanted Daddy to come get me."

8:00 am  Asks "Where are we going today?"   I tell her, replies "That sounds like a good plan."

10:00 am  Playground or open gym, screams "Don't look at me KID!!!!!" at every kid who looks in her direction.

12:00 am  I bonk my elbow on the car door, gives me a tight hug to "heal" me.

12:30 pm  Picks her nose and wipes the booger on my shirt.

12:45 pm  Steals my napkin and throws it on the floor.  Eats all of my Mandarin orange slices. 

1:30 pm  Snuggles in the comfy chair with me for books before naptime, LOTS of kisses. I pretend I'm chomping on her neck, says "Why am I SO delicious?!"

3:30 pm  Everytime I say "she", yells "HE!!!". 
Everytime I say "her", yells "HIM!!! 
Everytime I say "Helen", yells "I'm not Helen, I'm Quincy (or Pablo, or Annie, or...)!!!"

4:30 pm  Says "You are my heart, my life, Mommy"

5:00 - 7:15 pm  Yells "HE!!!", "HIM!!!", and "I'm not Helen!!!" some more.  Refuses to eat dinner.

7:30 pm  Jumps around on her bed and giggles before getting changed into jammies, having "Naked Time!!!"

8:00 pm  Family group hug with various stuffed animals, says "Thanks for a nice day, Mommy."

It's a pretty wonderful, hilariously aggrivating, awesome way to spend the day.  I feel so blessed every minute of the time we spend together - even when I'm answering "WHY?" for the 100th time or wiping boogers off my shirt.  Thank you, Helen, for a nice day.
