building....

It's been a quiet morning, but one little girl has been busy at work/play. These legos come out every now and again but rarely does she build with them, mostly she just made a mess!
But this morning was different, she sat down at the table on her own and began to build.
She didn't talk or eat just built, normally this is a whole lot of eating and talking going on always no matter what she is doing...instead there was a whole lot of concentrating going on.
It was really neat to see this in my sweet girl, my bouncing from one thing to the next girl.
She is of course 4 now and 4 is so BIG, so old~ with 4 comes the ability to learn and do so many new things...
This is one of those moments of parenthood that I love...the moments where you can just all of a sudden see them changing right before your eyes, when they just start doing something new they've never done before but it's like they've been doing it for ages....
It of course also means they are growing up but watching them grow and change and learn new things is really the best part!

Her birthday day...

We had a great day yesterday! The sun finally came out and warmed up the air and it really felt like spring! After picking Jaden up from school we decided we could use a little much needed out side time at the park. After that we had dinner and cake at Nana and Papa's house.

Hers the birthday girl with her doll cake made by Nana!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANNIE!

She's 3 !!! I just can't believe it. Our sweet little Annie is 3 a big girl now. Though still very petite and small. I feel like she just grew into her two year old self not that long ago and now shes 3 and looking tiny again. Ah well, she is healthy and strong and still eating like it may not be there tomorrow! She is such a light in our lives. So sweet and kind, so snuggly and loving. Always laughing at herself. She looks up to her big brother just as I remember doing with mine. Copying his every move, she stands up for herself and lets it be known when she is not happy. She is really starting to come into her own these days more and more. She wanders off just chit chatting away either on a pretend phone the real phone or anything that suits her. She is going to be a great big sister already showing off her mothering skills with Max (the 1 yr old I babysit for)

So today we celebrate Annie because she is 3!

Don't they look like twins in the photo up above? They don't normally look so much a like but for some reason they do in that picture. She is wearing her birthday crown that I made last night. A craft from a book written by this women. My camera battery died after taking this picture so I will get some more up of her as soon as they charge.
