At three years old this cutie is my little sidekick who keeps me on my toes and always keeps me smiling/laughing. She is a bundle of energy who is very dramatic! She loves to play dress up, pretends to be a princess, carries multiple accessories wherever she goes, talks nonstop, her sister's biggest fan, and is the cutest little thing and she knows it ;) She is such a big girl now! So independent and going to preschool now (three days a week for half a day). She is doing GREAT in school! Her teacher tells me everyday when I pick her up that Rayna is doing wonderful. plays well with her friends, and loves to work! She also said that she is, "unbelievable" (in a good way)! I was so excited to hear how well she was doing and told her how proud I was of her. She replied, "duh!" ;)
Favorite sayings:
- "Hi darling!" - quotes Fancy Nancy daily
- "Why are you so cute, Rayna?" She tells me, "because it just makes sense!"
- "Mommy, if you let me ____, I will be your best friend!"
- When I asked her to go teetee she kept telling me, "well how about I put my princess dress on first then go teetee?" I told her no then she said, "You're ignoring me!"
- Princesses poop rainbows.
- "Rayna, show me your muscles!" (and she did) "Where did you get those big muscles from?" She responded, "I found them at Target!" :)
- "See ya, I don't want to be ya!"
- "I like to jump in the rain aisles!" (aka rain puddles)
- Rylee - "God made me fast!" Rayna - "God made me slow!"
- What did you do at school today? Rayna, "We did all the God things!" :)
- "I'm stressing me out!" - during the Princess Matching game (She takes it pretty seriously. If she does not get Ariel there are ALWAYS tears & fits!) #dramaqueen
- Found a ladybug in Rylee's bed so told the girls to make a wish before setting it free. Rylee wished for a real horse. Rayna wished for a sleepover at the princess castle <3

- You do not get a snack later today if you do not finish your lunch. Rayna responds, "I don't really care because I don't even want a snack."

- "Did you go outside today at school, Rayna?" she replied, "No, it was too shinny!"
- On the way home from school Rayna said, "today at school I chewed on my backpack." I said, "that is gross...do not do that." She replied, "Well Kate always chews on her little blanket all the days!" {true}
- Light turned green (not one second later) and Rayna yells from the backseat, "green means go!"
- "Definitely No!" - when responding or answering any yes/no question
- Like always I reminded Rayna no jumping on the couch as soon as she sat down for a movie. She immediately responded, "Do you see me jumping?" (this girl! always has a response to everything lol)
- "No way, Jose!"
- "I'm starving! That means I am really hungry."
- "Do I ever going to grow up? I want to be a grown up like you and Elsa."
- Telling her what Thanksgiving means and I asked what are you thankful for...she said, "I am thankful for princesses, Disney World, and definitely my family and teachers and Mali. Oh, and dress up dresses!"
- "Rayna, buckle your seatbelt both top and bottom." (she prefers to do it herself) "I did, mommy!" "No, buckle the bottom too." "I did...it's magical! You just cannot see it buckled."
- "Rayna, why did you not wait until your green light came on to wake up?" She responds, "welllll, I just wanted to tell Rylee that I love her and my light was taking 100 billion hours!"
BIG sister hugs before school <3

Meet the teacher and find your room day. She loved every second and did not want to leave!
The night before preschool (tradition)! She is so stinking excited! :)
Rayna's very first day of Preschool! Cannot believe my baby girl is old enough to start school but she is more than ready! Ever since Rylee started first grade (four weeks earlier than her), Rayna asks every morning if it is her first day of school. The morning of school she held my hand the whole way into class, walked into her room like she owned the place, showed off her pretty pink nails & princess backpack, hung her backpack, found her name (with a little help from Ms. Cindy) and put it on the board, and began to play with the doll house. I gave her a big hug and kiss then told her to be a good girl and have fun. She said, "I love you Mommy and you be a good girl too and have fun at Target!" LOL - I definitely teared up leaving her there but I know she is in great hands and will have the best day. Bittersweet - my last baby on her very first day of school. What a big girl! <3
