Happy Birthday Kendal

Kendal turns three today. For weeks she has been reminding us that her birthday was soon approaching. The past few days she's been randomly blurting out how she is so excited for her birthday. Being the little sneak she is she's already seen her stack of wrapped presants and can't wait to open them. She has also insisted for a while now that her cake needs to be a butterfly.
There are many words to describe Kendal at age 3 she is . . .
- Energetic; Sometimes we have no idea where her energy comes from because she can keep going and going.
- Mischevious; Kendal loves to be sneaky. A few examples are, sneaking into the other room to find things i like to keep hidden like stickers, sissors, etc. - going into the bathroom and playing with the soap, q-tips, or cabinet items - changing her clothes after we put her to bed finding her later with diffrent clothes, her minnie ears on, gloves on, or her brothers booties crammed onto her toes.
- Imaganitive; Kendal is gettin so colorful with her play. She can take the most random objects (measuring spoon, pvc pipe, wisk, etc.) and make endless stories and play with them.
- Intellegent; Kendal is quick to pick up on things and is always asking questions. Kendal loves to be read to. She brings us books throughout the day wanting to be read to. She also loves "reading" stories to her animals at night. She takes the book we just read to her and paraphrases it. She knows her letters, their sounds, and is interested in reading (she can sound out simple words like cat, ball, etc.) Kendal can write some of her letters also. She knows numbers and counting to ten (some days twenty). Casey and i are amazed at the things she remembers and knows. I love that she is smart like her Daddy.
- Musical; Kendal loves songs. Her favorite is I am a child of God. We sing to her every night and Kendal has a handfull of songs she has memorized. Lately she likes to make up songs. The other day she sang to my parents about how she went to church  and nursery that day.
- Loving; Kendal has endless love. A hug from her can melt my heart. She loves her brother Peter(sometimes too much ; ) ). She has started calling Casey "My Daddy" every sentance addressed to him goes something like "Thank you for dinner My Daddy!"
- Inquisitive; Kendal likes to ask leading questions. For example we tell her she can't play a computer game, so she'll say "I need to clean then i can play a game?" "no Kendal" "after lunch i can play a game?" No Kendal. or "We go outside to play?" "not now Kendal" "Pete goes to sleep and we can go outside?" No, Kendal i can't leave Pete alone" etc. etc.
- Gamer; Kendal loves to play games. If we'd let her she would be on the Mickey Mouse clubhouse website, or the PBS kids website any time of the day. She also loves games. Her favorite right now is Uno; she also knows how to play trouble, and loves to get our dominoes out.
- Likes to say "i got an idea", "i'm thinking, i'm thinking"

I interviewed Kendal and here are some of her favorites at age three:

Favorite Toy: Ducky
Favorite Food: Peanut Butter (any time we ask what we should eat peanut butter is her most common reply)

Favorite TV show: cartoons (she loves cat in the hat, dinosaur train, and would love it if we had disney channel with the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse show)
Favorite Song: I am a child of God
