Brikayla is 2 years 10 months 3 weeks and 5 days old today! She will be 3 February 2. I really can't believe my little girl is going to be 3 soon! I wanted to have a post about my mischievous little girl!! She is seriously the most outgoing child I have ever seen...and if you know her, you'd agree. She NEVER stops! Even in her sleep she is moving all over and we'll find her in her closet, by her toybox, half on her bed etc. She never keeps her covers on either so we have a heater in her room and keep her in warm jammies. She sleeps for at least 10 hours at night and has since she was two months old! Along with never holding still goes getting into things...in the last few months she has smeared poop on her walls, got super glue on our chair, colored several walls with permanent marker, spread toothpaste all over my parents bathroom twice, poured syrup on the couch and just last night, colored on our tan chair and the wall...so I'm sure you're saying "then why don't you put things away?" but thats not it at all - she's also the smartest little girl I know...she will find things no matter where you put them away, like the syrup, she moved the kitchen chair over to the cupboard and got it out..and that was in a matter of two minutes while I changed Rylee's diaper! She's a quick little girl! I look back at these things and laugh now though, wish I would have taken pictures of each event. Brikayla has no desire at all to potty train, she will tell you when she's doing her thing in her diaper, so we know she knows what she's doing, she just refuses to go on her big girl potty...no treats or bribes work at all lol. The thing that makes it worse is that she is sooo smart...she has been talking in sentences for months and months, she knows all her colors, counts to 18 knows the alphabet, loves to make every animal sound you can think of. She's an incredible little girl :) She loves to say things are "amazing", lately she will say things like "wow mom, these shoes are really important" a lot of things she calls important. She gives the best hugs and kisses. It's a great feeling when she tells us she loves us. She's a tough little girl, and doesn't realize how rough she is..she always beats up all our friends boys - sorry guys! Her favorite shows are Dora and Sponge Bob. Some of her favorite movies are Toy Story, Jungle Book, Aladdin and Little Mermaid. She loves to play outside on her swingset and loves camping. She's definately not a girly girl when it comes to getting dirty! But she still loves princesses, shoes and jewelry! She loves music and loves to sing songs! Some of her favorites are "5 little monkeys", "The Wheels on the Bus" and a ton more!
Her hair is getting so long, it has natural curl! We've never cut it except for her bangs.
She has beautiful ice blue eyes and she loves wearing earrings!
She loves playing with her baby doll, Sally. She is going to be a great mom one day
She LOVES macaroni and cheese, another one of her favorites is spaghetti and meatballs. Her favorite drinks are apple juice and chocolate milk
She loves reading books, its one of her favorite things...she acts like she's reading. She makes up stories about her sister and her grandparents etc..its cute!
She loves her daddy and rough housing with him! She loves to be thrown around, spun around etc!
She loves to wear sunglasses
She really loves pajamas - I think she wears EVERY pair she has at least twice a day - she loves dressing up. She has TONS of pj's - she got 7 new pairs just for Christmas!
She really likes animals - here she is with my parents dog Wicket
Brikayla absolutely loves her little sister. She is always asking to hold her, she puts her binky in her mouth, if Rylee cries, Brikayla asks if she'll be ok and if I'm in the other room and Rylee starts crying, I hear Brikayla say "I'll go get mom for you"...its so cute to see how much love they have for each other!
She loves to stick her feet under the loveseat when the heater comes on since there is a heater vent right under there :)
She loves her daddy!
She loves her mommy - this is her kissy face
She loves the four wheeler that she got for Christmas! She can't wait until we get to take it out camping with us!
She loves to fall asleep in random places, sometimes she's in such a deep sleep she won't even wake up when we bring her in from outside...she slept like this for two hours
She LOVED Christmas this year and every day until Christmas she talked about how Santa was going to bring her presents on Christmas and she didn't want to be on the naughty list like Swiper (from Dora the Explorer)...it was definately fun to see her excitement this year!!

Such cute posts about your girls!! Brikayla has so much in common with my Krew... they would be best friends :) She is darling, as is her little sister! It's so fun to be a mom... even when they are stinkers!
She is so cute! I love her hair! I think I might be able to help you out a little bit with the potty-training issue.
First- does she have any underwear with characters that she loves? Like maybe some Spongebob or Dora underwear? Usually the thought of going potty on their favorite characters will make them want to use the potty.
Second- this one came from one of my child psychology classes. Since you mentioned that she knows that she is going to the bathroom, and I know that she is a smart little girl, I think this one might work. The next time she has a messy diaper, have her help you clean it up. Have her help you wipe her bum off with wipes, fold up the diaper, and wash her hands. After about 2 or 3 times, she will get tired of cleaning her messy bum and probably try going on the potty.
Hopefully this helps you out a little! =]
