Anyone watch Game of Thrones? The hubs and I are obsessed. (And looking forward to Season 4 this spring!) It's pretty much the only reason I thought of the title for this post (and not because we would even dare think to let Aliyah see any part of that show. Adults only for that one...ha.)
But back to the real cutie. Aliyah. This past year, Aliyah has just started to show her "girly" side. It doesn't come out very often, but when it does it sure is cute. Most days she'd rather be playing with her horse toys (obsessed with horses right now), or with her trains or tractors or out riding bike or kicking the soccer ball. This is completely different from what I used to do when I was younger. I could have played house and with my dolls all day, every day. Had it not been for my older brother who loved sports, I'm not sure I would have ever known I could be athletic.
So when Aliyah put on her crown and asked me to clip on her blanket as a dress, I was all in. She is at the perfect age right now when her imagination is completely free and uninhibited. She's not yet embarrassed to go in full make-believe mode, and the sky is the limit for what she decides to be. This day it was a princess. Yesterday is was a super hero who found missing things around the house.
Yep...the year three is full of some hard days (think: tantrums, whining...all that good stuff), but it's also filled to the brim with some pretty sweet things as well, like imagination, witty conversations and lots of hugs and kisses. Can't say it enough. Love this little girl with all my heart and soul.
