Now that we're 3, we're a BIG GIRL!

Lexie's birthday is today! Since she's started opening doors, Lexie now wakes up in the morning sometime between 6:30-7am, comes in our room, walks over to Wayne's side of the bed, he lifts her up, I turn on the tv, and she sits inbetween us and watches Disney Channel and snuggles with us for a few minutes while we wake up. But today, apparently, was a new day. A Big Girl day. We heard her open her door, followed by the usual pitter patter of little feet coming down the hall. But instead of coming straight in, she decided to stop and play with something in the hall for a few minutes. Then, when she did come in, she did not go over to Wayne. Instead, she headed over to the dresser, found a small stack of dvd's on top, perused, picked the one she wanted, reached up and pressed the "open" button on the dvd player, put in her selection, then closed it. She then pressed the power button on the tv, and waited for her movie to start, not once looking back for any parental involvement. Of course, I still had to change the tv to "video" mode with the remote, but other than that she had everything under control. That's right, 3-year olds are Big Girls.
