Que Los Cumplas Feliz

Dearest Mia,
This week you turned three! We can hardly believe it. The past few months have been all about becoming a "big girl." You are so independent now! Here are a some fun facts about Mia at three years old:

1. Earlier this spring, you taught yourself to whistle and snap your fingers.
2. You are not afraid of the garbage truck anymore (well, most days).
   
3. Canela the Bear is still your #1 stuffed friend and has developed her own personality. Sometimes Canela gets too mischievous and has to be given a time-out. (Canela is also potty trained now!)
4. You are constantly making us laugh with your voices and impersonations, especially your impression of Mona.
   
5. Lately, you've been into lullabies. Your favorites are "Duermete mi nina" and "Hush Little Baby." Sometimes you ask mommy and daddy to sing a duet.
6. You are learning to write the letters of your name.
7. You love to dance and sing. Sometimes you do these funny little dance moves that remind us of Elaine from Seinfeld.
8. Your favorite books right now are "El Cuento de Ferdinando," "The Diggingest Dog," and the book of fairy tales from G.G. Joan.
   
9. If you are given the option to run or walk, you will choose "run" every time.
10. You still get the hiccups sometimes if you laugh too hard.

For your birthday you asked for Hello Kitty-themed birthday party, and you had a blast. We are looking forward to another year of rediscovering the world with you.

Love,
Mommy and Daddy
