In my last post when I said tomorrow's post would be all about Becca, I guess I should have said next week's post. Yikes! Life seems to get crazier by the day around here.
Becca is almost 3 1/2. I can't believe that the twins will be 4 before I know it. Life has definitely not been the same since they came along. They are crazier than I could ever have imagined and no day with them is uneventful. Even though they are a handful, they are the biggest blessing I ever could have imagined. Becca is one crazy girl! She is stubborn and knows what she wants. Trying to get her to do anything turns into a battle. It is so frustrating sometimes and my patience wears thin multiple times a day. She doesn't take crap from anyone either. I think it's because she has so many crazy brothers, but she can handle them. She loves to wrestle with them and definitely doesn't let them push her around. This girl isn't scared of anything either. Last summer we took the kids to Little Amerricka and she went on every ride without a second thought. She loved the roller coasters. I think Isaac rode one or two rides and cried most of the time. One of her favorite things to do is jump off of anything she can climb up onto. She doesn't mind being away from me either. The other kids usually don't wander too far away from me, but this girl will just go off and try to do her own thing. Last summer at the zoo I almost had a heart attack when she wandered away from my dad. Luckily she wasn't far and we found her within a minute or two, but I haven't taken my eyes off of her since. She breaks rules and gets into mischief like it's her job. She loves to do things she knows she isn't supposed to do just to see how long it will take her to get caught. She's a handful, but she's my girl.
Becca is so silly. She loves to try to tell jokes or play little pranks. Her facial expressions are hilarious and I'm pretty sure that anyone who spends any time with this girl can tell you all about them. She has perfected the eye roll already so I'm excited to see what kind of teenager she's going to be. She loves to sing and dance, and she isn't shy. The other day at the grocery store she started belting out "Let It Go" and didn't care who was around. It makes me so happy to see her do things like that because I am SO shy and it kept me from doing a lot of stuff. I was always so scared what people would think of me, but she doesn't seem to mind. We went to Brat Fest this weekend and saw George Moss and Group 1 Crew play and she was dancing around like crazy. She loves to be outside and doesn't mind getting dirty. This girl would live outside if I let her.
It's really hard to capture what Becca is really like with words. The other kids are so easy to describe, but this girl is just a little bit of everything. She has such a lively spirit and she amazes me every day. One of my favorite memories of her that I will ever have happened at church. Josh and I went to get her and Isaac from their classroom and she came out so excited. She started jumping up and down and yelling "I love church" over and over again. Everyone around us was laughing. It is awesome to see how excited she gets and how big her love can be. She is very loving and cares a lot about all of us. She has a temper and a hefty attitude, but she is also one of the sweetest girls ever. Every time I put her to bed she wraps her arms around my neck and gives me the biggest hug and I will probably cry for weeks after she stops doing that some day. Her voice is the best thing ever. I don't know how to describe it except to say that she reminds me of a little mouse. I could listen to her talk all day because it's just so sweet. The conversations her and Isaac have are the best. Before they could talk they had their own little language and sometimes it still seems like they understand each other when no one else can.
Becca loves to watch Dora, Doc McStuffins, and Paw Patrol. She loves dogs, zebras and pigs. Her bed is full of stuffed animals and she will not go to bed if one of them is missing. Speaking of bed, this girl does not like to sleep. It is a battle to get her down for her nap or to go to bed at night and she gets up at the crack of dawn. No sleeping in for this mommy! She isn't a huge fan of thunderstorms, but even those don't bother her a lot. She is not a very picky eater and usually only refuses to eat something because Selena won't eat it. She loves bananas and would eat one with every meal and snack if she could. I can't leave any candy laying around in the kitchen or she will sneak out in the morning and eat it. Picking up her toys is not her favorite activity and she loves to make a huge mess everywhere she goes. We are working on that along with her potty training. This girl is smart! She knows how to use the potty, what she is supposed to do, and when she needs to go; but she is too dang stubborn! Dominic and Selena were both potty trained at 3 1/2 and they were the same way. They refused and then one day put underwear on and never looked back. I'm hoping in another month or two Becca and Isaac are both potty trained and I can go to only having one kid in diapers, for the first time since 2010. There isn't much Becca doesn't like. She may be a handful, but she's pretty easy going. She can sing a ton of songs, knows a lot of her letters, can count a little over ten, and knows most of her shapes and colors. Getting her to sit still is hard, but when she does she likes to look at books and will usually let me read one or two to her before she has to get up and go.
I've been through a lot with this little girl. Being born premature she had a lot of health issues. She still struggles with asthma and lung disease. Remembering how small and sick she once was and now looking at this girl she became is amazing. She is pretty tall for her age. Selena is mad because her baby sister is almost taller than her. I can't wait to see who she becomes as she gets older.
