FOUR !

Kezia turned four this week. She has grow a lot this past year. Here are some of her new developments:

-she learned to ride a two wheel bicycle.
-she can button up her clothing.
-she has started sounding out phonetic words.
-she can print almost all her letters.
-she can go into a public washroom stall on her own.
-she enjoys helping mommy bake and set the table.
-she is learning to jump rope (so cute!)

Pretty much she wants to do anything and everything that her older siblings do. Kezia is a sweet joy. She is very sensitive and still quite easy to negotiate with. Kezia is the most shy of our three- she likes to stay close to mommy in new situations. I look forward to the coming year, and all the new things that she will accomplish!

This year Kezia asked for an A,B,C party. Weird I know. I guess it is because of her new found love of sounding out words. Anyways, we went with it- and this is what I came up with...

When the guests arrived. Everyone got to fill out a menu card.

While lunch was being prepared, the kids got to make Valentine bags.

Lunch is served.

Then we moved on to A,B,C, memory, where they had to choose objects that started with the same letter as their name. Beatrice with her "bacon"...

and kezia with her kiwi.

The bigger kids, had a bigger game of the same.

A little game of stick the flower on the cupcake.

Cake of course.

The big four year old, with her little cake. (That's a whole other story folks!)

What's a preschool party with duck, duck, goose? We changed it to A,B,"C"!

The less than creative "loot".

Below are some shots from her actual bday, which happened to also be Family Day.

Breakfast with Oma and Opa.

Amazing roast beef dinner with the Copland's.
