The Princess has taken an interest in starting to read little words, asking me to write words so she can copy them and such, so I was sitting at the table with her this afternoon working on that. She asked a question, and I began to answer her. She immediately looked distracted and I could [...]
Well, the Princess made a new milestone in little-girldom last night. She had her very first friend stay “all night long!” She was quite excited to invite her friend Naomi for a sleep over.
First let me re-cap our day. We were pretty busy for the most part. I got up and got everyone fed [...]
Please enjoy these whilst I try to write a post this week (in between chasing small people).
We’ll start with the Princess, since she’s the eldest.
She had a grand time collecting dandelions…
But there’s always time to monkey around…
Next in the birth line is Gavin (still my Peanut Butter)
He finally figured out how to make the dandelions [...]
All morning long, Lidia was bubbling with excitement over school. She must have asked if it was time for school 100 times. When the time finally came, she raced ahead of me to the garage, doing anything she could to help me and speed up this process. Once we arrived, she could not wait to [...]
Last Wednesday, (our anniversary, of course) was parent orientation for the preschool that Lidia will be starting in 2 weeks!! Our neighbor, Kristin, came to entertain the kiddos for us, as it was a sans kids kind of orientation. (Thank you again, Kristin! Lidia had a great time and the first thing she wanted [...]
Lidia, as she cleaned up her play dough mess today, was heard to sing the following song
“I love you, my sweety-pie Mommy
Sweety Pie, Sweety Pie
Sweeeeeeeeeeeee-teeeeeeeee Piiiiiiiiiie”
As the princess grows older, her mind becomes an ever more complicated machine. The things she is learning and remembering–and the rate at which she is doing so!–never ceases to amaze me. I’ve recently been thinking of all big things she has learned just be watching and listening.
A month or 2 ago, I got [...]
Well, I knew it was coming–but maybe not so soon.
I’ve always said how the Princess reminds me of a teen in a three-year-old’s body, so really it should not come as a surprise. From the beginning this girl has had attitude about her. She is certainly spunky. It’s one of those things I love [...]
Be sure to visit the Princess’s Castle to see her “read” her favorite story… It’s too cute to miss! (and I’m not just saying that because I’m her mom!)
From day one, we have been quite lucky that the Princess has been a stellar traveler. That first car ride from orphanage to apartment was only slightly cranky (and mostly because of the fact she was bundled so tight in the cold that she could hardly move). Subsequent car rides to airports followed suit. She [...]
