Other things Caroline is doing:

She will say "Night Night" to each one of her babies when we clean up the playroom at the end of the day. She gives them each kisses and tuck them into their cradle.

Caroline has her first imaginary friend. A "brown kitty" lives outside her bedroom window and "he's so pretty"

She will sing Sweet Caroline complete with (bum, bum bums and so goods), Itsy Bitsy Spider, Five Little Monkeys, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, You are my Sunshine and lots of christian songs like 10,000 Reasons, There is Power, The River, and she will sing secular songs like Stressed Out. She will also sing parts of the Aggie War Hymn including Hullabaloo and Saw Varsity's.

She is very sensitive to people or characters that are crying or sad. She teared up in Rapunzel when the King cries over his missing daughter, she is very concerned when you hear babies crying and offer suggestions of bottles, pacis, and needing to go "night night". She also cry when Cinderella Minnie sings about not being able to find her Prince Mickey.

She likes to give us three kisses at a time, one on each cheek and one on the forehead. I melt.

She can count backwards from 10 with no problem but still sometimes mixes up 4 and 6 when counting forward. (she has since corrected it  this month but I wanted to document when that happened)

She has to have us read her a bible story before nap and bedtime. She could be asleep when we lay her down but she will wake up and come tell us she needs her "bible story"

Her favorite thing to play right now is doctor. She loves to give Ben and me checkups as well as Rollie and all of her dolls and stuffed animals. She will sing the Doc McStuffins song as she does it "Time for your check up, time for your checkup,  I'm gonna check your ears, check your eyes find out how much you've grown. Time for your checkup.  I'm going to listen to your heartbeat fix you up ready to go. Time for your check up." And when she is done with their checkups she says "I feel better, so much better now"

She calls a stethoscope a "listen scope"

You have been saying "Hey what's the big idea!" and I asked you who taught you that and you very matter-of-factly said "Donald Duck"

She has, twice now, used the phrase "I'm shaking like a leaf" in the correct context and we have no idea where you would have picked that up.

Her probably most used phrase right now is "Hey Guys" referring to us or any other group of people. It's so funny to watch her walk up to a group of big kids at the park and let out a "hey guys"
