The little cutie pies excited for Christmas morning and ready to open their presents from Santa. You can't see it, but there are a ton of presents under the tree waiting to be opened...
...and voila, Tula magically turns into a princess! (Cass is all glammed out in the background as well).
Here's me going back to school on the bus. I'm a little worried without Big Sis, but I'm more worried that I won't get to ride on the new Thomas train the school has this year.
It's been hot here in my neck of the woods and I love to be au natural. Look how much fun we're having! Pizza, juiceboxes, and a slip and slide= heaven for a 2 year old.
Look at all my artwork!! Mommy opened up a studio in our town to teach classes and sell art and she takes me there a lot. Well, I guess I'm an artist too, because every time I go to the studio I create something amazing, usually while no one's paying attention.
I made it! I survived nursery school. I know how to count to ten, my favorite color is blue, and I already miss my friends!
It took me an hour, but I finally took a chance and tried the carnival rides. Once I started, I couldn't stop. It wasn't scary at all! (At least not as scary as the carnies manning the rides.)
This is me and my Tophia. We are celebrating my big sis' 5th birthday by eating yogurt. Yum.
I am so lucky to have a big sister to teach me the ropes. I feel sorry for the eldest children who have to go at it alone. It's so much easier when you have a big sibling to take the blame for you and show you how to do things. My big sis taught me how to open the sidewalk chalk packaging (with a knife), and how to blow bubbles (and them pour them all over the driveway), and how to smile (with the face all scrunched up). I'm feeling the sister love.
...sat on a tuffet. I'm all dressed up for my school art show. Do you love my necklace? I'm borrowing it from mommy.
Over Easter Auntie Marysia was sick in bed with laryngitis. She tried to be social, but she was so tired she took lots of naps. I enjoy my naps, so I decided to join her in bed. We didn't sleep at all. We played around with the big stuffed animal and laughed a lot.
Every day I tell Mama, I want to Paint! Sometimes I get lucky and she lets me. First I use a brush, then I use my fingers, then I start to paint my body, and then I eat it. It is a whole body experience and the reason why Mama only lets me paint sometimes.
It's been awhile, but I've been busy livin' and learnin'. I can count to ten in English and Spanish and I don't swallow my gum anymore! It's good times.
All the kids clamor to sit next to Uncle Steve because he's so cool. Especially under pressure. You'd think he has five kids looking so comfortable in between his two nieces, but nope, he's married without children. The way Auntie Nora was holding the Nugget, this may not be the case for long...
I'm such a big girl that I can hold babies on my lap! This is my 2nd cousin Charlie and we did a little bonding over New Years. My mom liked to hold Charlie and I didn't like that at all, so mom thought if I held the baby I might be okay with letting her hold the baby. I was still NOT OK with her holding the baby.
