Listening.... or not

Skylar dumped out all the toys and hopped inside. Brother was soon to follow!
We have been getting notes home from school about Skylar not listening. It breaks my heart! Part of me knows she is just 3 and this comes with the territory. The other part of me wants her to be the best kid in the class. You know, the one all the teachers love. She is so sweet and funny and loving. I worry that these aspects will be overlooked if she continues to test her limits. We read books about listening. We have conversations, we role play different scenarios, we give her ideas of what she can do in different situations. We have even taken away toys and one time we wouldn't allow her TV time for her night time Dora fix. We don't know what else to do... I am probably making the situation sound worse than it is. Fact of the matter is that she usually has one good day, one bad day, then back to a good day. I just want them to all be good days. I hope this is a phase and it passes as quickly as it arrived. I love her so much and I can't stand the thought of her teacher disliking her.
