Month 41

Month 41, or 3 years 5 months.

 My little monkey who isn't so little anymore. The time just keeps flying by. You looked so pretty and so grownup all dressed up. You were so excited to go to the wedding, and even more excited to wear your pretty new dress. You love all forms of dress up and wearing a dress is your preferred clothing choice.

 You are still so silly when there is a camera around. Half the time now, you run away and don't let me take your picture.

 Warmer weather means more outside time. It's great to let you run around and burn off some energy. You love hopscotch. I love these action shots I managed to sneak it. We have discovered that your trike and your little car are too small this year. Guess we need to get you a bike!

 Going to the park is definitely one of your favourite things to do. We are lucky that we have three really close parks right by. The little one up Watsons is one of my favouites as its big enough for you, usually no one there, and it's small enough for me to chase after you and keep an eye on Eleanor.

 They have a piece of equipment that is like the old tin can and string trick. You talk into the horn at one end on the ground and then the other person hears it, up on the play equipment on their end of the horn. You and I were talking through it, but I guess you didn't understand and were shocked to hear someone say "hi, Audra!". I was peeing my pants b/c I laughed so hard. You didn't know it was me talking to you.

From the top picture all grown up, this picture seems the complete opposite. You look all young again. You are currently wearing your favourite breakfast all over your face. Peanut butter and nutella. I am not sure what we are going to do when you go to school, as you won't be able to take peanut butter, or the nutella to school. (Sad face)

Speaking of school, we went to kindergarten night last week. You weren't shy or nervous, didn't really listen all that well, and just wanted to do your own thing. Hopefully when you actually go to school you will listen better. lol. It will be interesting. How you are possibly starting school in the fall still blows my mind.

You are a talkative little creature who lately doesn't ever seem to stop. It is nonstop talking all the time. Oi! You are full of questions and want to share everything with everyone. I have taught you to say excuse me if you are interrupting someone, but it has become excuse me, and rush and into the story you want to share. It's hilarious.
Let me tell you, the house quiets down 150% when you go to bed now. Its wonderful that you are so curious and want to chat and talk, but somedays, it would be nice to get some peace and quiet. I can't complain. Should treasure these moments while I have them. You'll only be little once, and only this chatty for so long (or will you?)

Heres to another great month ahead, summer finally with us, and all of us having a little more fun.
