Kara loves playing pretend. Kara especially loves to re-enact scenes from her favorite movies (Cinderella, Lady and the Tramp, Beauty and the Beast, and Lion King). Mommy and Daddy have both taken their turns as the Beast, Prince Charming, the Evil Stepsisters, the Tramp, and Gaston. She also likes to pretend to be a pirate and go on adventures (see video below), or pretend that she's playing with monsters. It's always fun to see what she'll come up with.
Our little girl is not always so sweet, though. Bedtime and naptime have become challenges as Kara continues to push boundaries and Mommy's buttons. Kara likes to come out of her room repeatedly after we tuck her in. She always wakes up in the middle of the night to ask silly questions (like, "What do doors do?"). Mommy and Daddy are hoping this is a short-lived phase...
We are happy to say that Kara has grown out of her peanut allergy. She passed her blood test early in January and then passed the Peanut Challenge (sitting at the allergists office for three hours while she eats peanuts) later in the month. Daddy is very excited that he gets to share peanut butter sandwiches with his little girl!
In baby news, Mommy's belly continues to grow. Mommy and Daddy have gotten the nursery all ready for the baby who is due to join us on February 27th. Kara is very excited to become a big sister!
Kara's latest sayings:
"How does the baby get out of Mommy?" Uh, how do we explain this to a 3-year old?
"I put the Grinch there because I thought he would do a wonderful job." Said while playing ball with Daddy after putting the Grinch in front of the goal.
"This is a map of our territory and the path to the Candy Castle." Kara explaining the game board for Candy Land.
"Daddy's shoes are humongous! That's like gigantic Mommy!" Just surprising Mommy with her use of words.
