Deitrick Detail: Happy Birthday Rylie!

It will most likely be very normal for Rylie to spend her birthday with family depending on where we are at for christmas each year. though she doesnt seem to mind one bit. haha. we had such a great visit over christmas and loved to celebrate our sweet little girl. i feel like she has been 3 forever, but now its official. She barely makes the cutoff for being a new sunbeam! and she has been dying to join primary for a while.

Rylie is still our sweet little girl, but definitely has some threenager tendencies. She is still very very independent and will fight for it. more often than not i am not allowed to help her with anything until she decides she cant do it. this involves getting dressed, buckling her carseat, helping in the bathroom, and brushing her teeth at night. there are some things we have finally compromised on. She will let me brush her teeth if she can do it first, then i get a turn. I can only help getting her dressed if she first puts underwear/pants/skirts on backwards and they feel weird. and i can help with the carseat only after she has buckled all she can and cant pull the last one into place. now its only a struggle when we are in a major hurry. We are both working on it.

She is still a great snuggler. sometimes she still comes in at night wanting to snuggle. though we are trying not to have the kids rely on coming into our room unless they need it (with twins on the way soon there will be no room) i always go tuck her back into bed and snuggle for a few minutes. though i am half asleep i still love those sweet moments. she doesnt take naps anymore (if she does its a nightmare to put her to bed at night) but still gets tired enough to snuggle next to me in the afternoon.

of course she also has 3 year old energy. her and Ryker are best friends and love to run around and race often. she has definitely gotten into her girly stage. She loves to pick out her own outfits everyday and 90% of the time they do not match to a horrific extent, but i cant change her mind once she picks it out, so i hope she enjoys the pics later in life and doesnt get mad at me for letting her dress like that. haha.

We love Rylie so much and we are excited to give her a little sister to bond and play with. it might take a few years, but i hope they will be good friends too. We love our rylie and are so glad she is in our family! her bright smile just lights up the room. She keeps us on our toes and we love her for it. Happy birthday Rylie!
