one, two, THREE!!!

Alexis turned three last week  and with that a lot of changes. No more ET, ST,  Pull-ups, surgeries, zippy cups, bibs, high chair, wipes, etc.etc. done, done. I'm done..  Hello! boots, jeans,hats, purses, "I'll do it", "I'll get it", "my turn", 'I want..."
Her vocabulary has grown immensely. From "dog", "cat", and 'cow'; to "Alexis calculator", "Alexis underwear", "Alexis bicycle" '" etc. oh yeah, everything belongs to her around the house. The girl can't stop talking! when we reached the 250 words mark, we stopped counting. She  reached  the number of words expected for a child her age but she qualified for PK with a language based program which is part of the Exceptional Students Education (ESE).
This Speech\ Language program is for students who either have difficulty pronouncing letters or using  grammar and language correctly Fortunately the program is in the school that she is supposed to go by zone so we are happy that she will stay in the same school for Kindergarten. She started the day she turned three and so far so good. The best part of the day at school for Alexis is making the line for lunch. No surprise there. And now she is taking the bus to school and she is loving it.
We celebrated her birthday and enjoyed a sunny day by the pool. With kids all under three years old, we didn't have too much time to take pictures. Here are some pictures from the last few weeks.
