Pre-teen tendencies too soon

I said "Aria let's take a picture of new jammies" and you replied "Ok Mom like this" and then started putting your little hands on your hips and smiling.  Who taught you that?!

Adorable pictures though...

I forgot to turn the flash on but too cute to toss

The sweetest

Tonight your brother pooed in the potty for the very first time.  After he yelled "I pooed", you followed me into the bathroom to confirm or deny (he has been the boy who cried poo lately) and once we discovered that he did indeed do the deed, you were so tear worthy sweet it was nuts.  You yelled "Yay Asher!"  And then said, "Now you're big like me" and then gave him a high five.  Then you got his action figures down and handed them to him saying "You get your toys now Asher.  YAY"

I mean you excitedly gave Asher two new (old - they were Dad's) toys without even thinking to say that you wanted a toy too and you were so genuinely excited for him that he finally pooed on the potty.

You are the sweetest most precious little girl ever.  I adore you and love you so much!  I'm going to go kiss your face till you scream at me to stop.

Homework turned Masterpiece

The before:

The after:

The details:

Brownie the Cat.  You named her and told me that the ball to the left is her tail "all rolled up with fur on it"

You wanted a cowboy hat (which Dad drew the outline for) and did all the marker-ing and glittering on your shirt yourself.

Your polka dot skirt because that is your favorite.  You did all the gluing and puff ball application yourself.

These are your Hello Kitty tights (improved with pink polka dots) and of course your purple shoes. 

It is kind of hard to see but you drew eyebrows and eyelashes too.  I've never see you draw those before.

I was going to put this on your preschool blog since it is "homework" but after thinking about it, this is more of an example of how much you have grown.  Look at all the amazing drawing.  Watching you use the glue and glitter and the way you told me what you were going to draw something and then actually drawing it is beyond awesome.  You have grown so much and I am so proud of you!  More importantly, you were so proud of you.  You practically ran next to it when I asked you take a picture and look at your precious little face smiling.  I can't wait to see what you create next!

The Shedd aka Our new favorite place

Random pictures from Dad's Phone

I sincerely have no clue when these are from, but they are adorable.

Book nook adorable overload

This is you sleeping in your soon to be book nook (aka closet right now) on your old crib mattress with Brobee and Sophie in each hand.  And then Brutus sleeping with you at your feet.  You have become extremely attached to Brutus these days and demanding that he sleeps with you in your room.  But I mean the sleeping at your feet, now that is a new class of adorable right there.  It is SO cute.

Here is a picture with my real camera a few hours later.  Still insane cuteness going on.  I seriously can not take it.  

Artistic Ability

This is the book that you made for your friend at school "new" Bridget (opposed to the Bridget that was in your class last year).  I swear the only parts that I helped you on was the spelling of the words.  You did everything else.  I'm extremely proud of all the little books that you make these days.  Pulitzer prize here you come.
