FORE!!!

Opening gifts on my birthday. This is a Dorothy costume.
Mom and Dad gave me roller skates. They were a little tricky at first. After practicing for a while in the kitchen, I tried it outside. Don't worry, I have knee and elbow pads and a helmet.
Here are Baby and me with my classes pet Guinea pig, Magic.
Grandma Pam and I coloring our shrinky dinks that we used to make bracelets at my party.
Ooooohhhh! The Prince from Barbie and the Three Musketeers. Mom and Dad gave me the movie on my b-day. It just came out, and I had been asking to see it for MONTHS!
What's a party without at least one costume change? I kept the ruby red slippers on though.
Making my wish.

So, last Wednesday I turned the big 4! That morning I opened presents from Mom and Dad. Mom let me pick where I wanted to go for my birthday lunch, and I chose the tea room. After that I had dance, then I had open house at my school that night. It was a busy, but very fun day. On Thursday I got to take a special birthday snack to school. I dediced on blueberries and fruit snacks. On Friday I spent the night at Grandma Bonnie's with Kira and Geordan. On Saturday I had a big Wizard of Oz birthday party at my house. I dressed up like Dorothy and had so much fun with my family. We made Wizard of Oz bracelets (well, mostly the grown ups did, we kids kind of got bored with it), had a supper of all of my favorites like cheese pizza, PB&J, and ants on a log, opened presents, and had cake and ice cream. On Sunday we went to the steam show where I had lots of fun with my grandpas. I am still a little tired this week from all of the goings on, but I was up and excited to go to school this morning. Have a good week everybody.

Such a Big Girl

I have had a very exciting couple of weeks. I am loving preschool, and asking Mom every morning if it is a school day. My class is currently working on a self concept unit where I am learning a lot about myself and all of my new classmates. The first thing I tell Mom everyday when she picks me up is what we had for a snack, first things first. I also started dance again last week. I am in the same class as last year taking tap and gym. I remembered a lot of my tap steps and was much more comfortable in the gym now that I am older. Here are a few pictures of me at dance. Mom was in the balcony so the picture quality isn't so great, but you get the idea.
