Anniston at 3

Our little Anniston Starr is 3! 

• She can spell her name.
• Is in the process of learning to identify each letter in the alphabet and how to sound them out. She knows about 70% of them, but a few still really trip her up. 
• As of two days ago, Anniston is paci-free. Wahoo!! I truly thought the day would never come, but she has handled it like a real champ.
• Prefers wearing dresses over almost all of her other clothing, except for her donut pajamas.
• Loves Boise! She tells everyone she lives in grass and trees now, which is a total relief to Gabe and I, because she was one of the main factors in us moving. Anni strongly dislikes Arizona. On our move here, we stopped in a dirt parking lot, and when Anniston got out of the car, she yelled, "Nooo! were back in the desert!" Lol.
• Loves swimming and has been doing great in her new swim class.
• She is always asking to go on walks or bike rides on the Boise River Greenbelt. If you ask her what her favorite part of Boise is, she will say the greenbelt every time.
• Enjoys reading/making up stories to tell Ezzy.
• Her favorite Disney character is Janja, the mean hyena in Lion Guard, which at first had Gabe and I a little worried. But when I asked Anniston why she liked Janja, she told me he didn't have any friends, so she wanted to be his friend. She's pretty sweet.

I had her answer a few questions for one of those birthday interview things for fun. I kind of want to make it a tradition, so we can compare her answers each year, but we'll see if I remember. Ha.
