I'm Blue

Dear Mackenzie,

Whenever you finish your food, you proudly announce, "I finish all my [whatever you just ate]. See?" And then you flex your arms to show me the muscles you instantaneously grew from eating all of your food! So cute! Also cute is that whenever I ask you if you need anything, you say, "I just need a hug from Mama." I will hug you anytime, Kenziebear! Picking you up, though, is a different story because you are HEAVY now. I can barely make it up the stairs with you in my arms and am definitely winded by the time I get to the top. You are such a big girl already!

And you are also such a fun, happy little kid! You are always singing and dancing enthusiastically (your current favorite songs are "I'm Good" by David Guetta and Bebe Rexha and "Dear Future Husband" by Meghan Trainor) and cheerfully running around the house in one of your amazing get-ups (a common outfit for you consists of a headband, sunglasses, LOTS of bracelets, necklaces and anklets, winter gloves, one of your princess dresses or your Wonder Woman costume, several purses AND high heels that belong to JieJie's Build-A-Bear--they don't fit you at all but you manage to tiptoe up and down the hallways in the them like a runway model!). You still LOVE chocolate and eat it as much as you can. One night after dinner, Daddy was looking in the pantry for something sweet, so you showed him a bag of chocolate-covered pretzels. When Daddy said he didn't want them, your eyes widened and you pointed to the bag and said in all seriousness, "It's CHOCOLATE." You couldn't understand how someone was rejecting chocolate! After chocolate, your next love is the show Bluey. We'd never watched it before but when we were vacationing in Hilton Head over spring break, it's all that was playing on Disney when we were in the hotel room and you (and Daddy!) got hooked. You used to love Peppa Pig, then Turning Red and now it's all "Can I watch Bluey? Can I watch Bluey?" It is a funny show, though, and waaaaaay less annoying than that British pig!

Love,

Mom
