Adding a Half

Collins turned 3 and 1/2 recently, and she is pretty proud of that new half. If someone asks her how old she is she'll emphasize the half because it means she is REALLY big. She actually does act really big these days- getting dressed (mostly) by herself, engaging in adult-like conversations, playing independently and having a lot less of those ugly tantrums we experienced right around three. Hooray for 3 1/2!

We celebrated with lunch at her favorite restaurant and then took her official measurement...almost 40 inches!
