Happy Turkey Day!

We missed our usual group of family and friends but had so much fun today!  Bella loved getting to play with her cousin Ronin!

Kitchen Helpers

It was pretty cute to see both Bella and Abby helping Gigi and Grammy in the kitchen helping to bake for Thanksgiving.  They both come to it naturally and at ages 3 and 5 are actually pretty good.

Those Two Fingers

My little girl has gone and done what I asked and become a "big girl".  Starting school, potty training, full sentences, doing everything herself while exclaiming "I'm a big girl".  It seems like it happened overnight, so when she fell asleep at nap time today and I see those two fingers in her mouth (a habit since infancy), it was oddly reassuring to know I might still have a little while longer to enjoy these "little" days before this habit too falls by the wayside.

The first of many . .

Bella was in her first play at preschool on Thursday!  It was a little exciting to see her up there, she acted like it was no big deal being in front of a large audience.  Born to the stage?  Only time will tell.

When I'm Stuck with a Day That's Grey and Lonely . . .

Bella shares her mothers love of musicals, but Annie is her favorite, so when her Dad suggested she be Annie for Halloween, we all thought it was a great idea!
