How is she almost 3 years old already???

I didn't do an update last month (did I?) so I thought I ought to do one now for little miss Riley Bug.  Where should I even begin?  This little monkey is FUN FUN FUN.  And super cute, yes?

Current favorite things: playgrounds, playgrounds, and playgrounds!  Girl loves her slides and swings and climbing structures, that's for sure.  We could just playground hop all day long and she would be he happiest girl in the whole wide world.  And she can do some pretty impressive things on the playgrounds these days, climbing up all kinds of things with no help at all!  Gives me a mini heart attack every single time, but the look on her face when she gets to the top is totally priceless.  So so proud of herself!

90% of the time she absolutely adores her little brother.  She loves to play with him and give him kisses.  She lets him snuggle her and grab her hair and face.  She chases him around and tickles him and shares her toys.  She also has her moments where she just wants him AWAY from her stuff and she will snap if he gets too close or messes with her things.  But overall, she an awesome big sister, and he's pretty lucky to have her.

She loves to be outside... jumping on the trampoline, playing in her sand pit, drawing with chalk, playing hopscotch, riding her scooter or her bike, anything outside!  We planted her very own veggie garden and she loves watering it and watching her veggies grow!

While she loves to be outside, there are plenty of things that she loves to do indoors as well.  She's really starting to get into real little kid games, things like memory and bingo and connect 4 (all things impossible to do with a 13 month old around, of course).  She loves doing "magnet shapes," which is basically a magnetic board where she makes all kinds of cool pictures using different colored shapes... things like flowers and "red moons" and anything else her little mind can create.  She loves playing with marbles and doing all sorts of puzzles... she is really really good at puzzles!!

She is constantly asking questions... why this?  why that? who is that? what are you doing? why why why why?  i try and answer with as much details as possible, but to be honest, sometimes I don't even know the answers.  Then google is our friend. :)  I like the inquisitive mind of a 2 year old!

She loooooooves to draw.  She will color and draw for a very very long time.  She also likes to paint and do art projects of any kind.  She can draw straight lines and circles, and can do a "follow the dots" kind of drawing.  She is really into words and seeing what letters on the pages mean what words... she will point to words and say "does this spell _________?" She loves reading the same stories over and over, but is open to new stories too if I ask her to read something different with me!

Riley gets dressed every day by herself.. picks her outfit, takes off her PJS, and puts on all her clothes all by herself.  She loves to dress up like a princess with her princess shirt and dress, princess shoes, etc..

She likes to balance on one foot, and can walk on a balance beam like a pro (thank you dance class and gymboree).  She has an AWESOME imagination... Things on the floor become "mud puddles" or holes... she will play for a long time making "decorations" or solving "emergencies."  We think she may have made up two friends, one she calls "Mary" and one she calls "Singa."  I seriously love listening to the things she comes up with every day!

She sings all the time, and her newest fave thing to say is "awww shucks!"  Pretty darn cute, if you ask me!  She loves to "paint" her nails by coloring all over them... that, I do not love. :/  She has learned the days of the week and can count to 30, she loves to say "hola como estas? muy bien!" and count in spanish.

I'm sure there's so much more but that's all I've got for tonight.  She is growing way too fast!!
