My Happy Hoarder!

I have to blog about my happy hoarder before we leave to go on vacation and I will have so many more stories to tell about you! First of all, we call you the "hoarder" b/c you are. You are constantly carrying things around in bags, going through your drawers getting out clothes to carry on, asking if you can bring things home from places or take things with you. It is a constant swap meet around our house! And your latest craze is long sleeve shirts...in the heat! Granted it's getting chillier out now so it's been okay lately but it's been a few weeks and you even want to wear a thermal shirt or a hoodie in the heat! Getting you dressed lately has been a nightmare! You are more than prepared for fall! So bizarre! You are a very thoughtful child. If one of your siblings is in the very back seat of the car and you're in the middle, you are always asking if they are okay "back there." You still love dinosaurs, trains, movies, riding your bike, food, dips of any type, swimming, boating, fishing, and snuggling. You are so looking forward to the beach and you can't wait to see dolphins so I definitely hope we can make that dream come true for you. You are obsessed with anything sea related these days...ocean, water, whales, dolphins, sharks, turtles, fish...anything. Since you started preschool, you're loving it. You are learning so much I can tell. You hate goodbyes. If someone leaves your life even if only for a second or a day, you have to say goodbye, give them a hug and a kiss, a high five and "knucks" and you must repeat this process at least 4 times. You get very teary eyed and emotional if someone doesn't bid you the proper farewell and do it enough times. You pay a lot of attention to detail and ask A LOT of questions. You are always the first one to pay anyone a compliment on their outfit, jewelry, hair, etc. You're always saying, "mommy, that shirt is really cute." So sweet. I could just eat you up!
