I love school!

Off to another year of preschool, five morning a week this year!  She was excited to go and by day 3 didn't want to come home with me at noon.  Other mom's have asked me what I do for 3 hours while I'm home alone, my response: "Anything I want!"

BitterSweet

We had a water day at Bella's school for her last day.  It was overcast and nice and cool, rare for May in Phx!  I love this pic below because I would never describe Bella as petite but next to these two boys (one in the front is in her class!) she looks so small!

Man, this kid likes water!

Just not ready

Laura is constantly telling me to let Bella make her own decisions.  Well clearly she is not ready because yesterday she informed me she wanted to be a BAT for Halloween!  I now have 6 months to change her mind or think of a way to make a BAT cute! (suggestions welcome!)  I'm thinking I'm going to need ALOT of glitter!

Just 'cuz

No special occasion, it has just been a long time since we put up a new pic!  

My Little Parrot

So yesterday I was cleaning the garage and Bella was playing with chalk.  It was getting late so I asked:

Me: "Bella, you need to pick up your chalk and put it away please"

Bella:   "I'll think about it."

If I were a reindeer . . .

I'd be Dancer!

Bella dancing at Glendale Glitters, well not so much dancing as standing there looking like the cutest raindeer I've ever seen, while the other girls danced around her.  May be next year Dancer!

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.

Merry Little Girl!

Happy Holidays!

Two Cute!

Just when our life needed a touch of color, 

she added a whole rainbow!

I love this pic with the rainbow of colors from the layers of cake across her face!

It was so fun and surprisingly easy to find rainbow stuff!
