Jill's Dresses
Our lovely neighbour Jill has three almost grown boys. Since she never got to buy pretty girl clothes for her own, she now generously spoils my girls with pretty clothes. Every year on the girls birthday, she buys them dresses. These dresses were quickly named, "Jill's Dresses". They beg to wear them on special occasions. Well, they bed to wear them all the time, but I try and keep it to special occasions.
The Cat in the Hat
Recently we had a field trip with HCOS to go see the Cat and the Hat live theatre production.
We have seen a couple of other plays there, and definitely felt like the other plays were better (Frog and Toad) but this was still very entertaining!
Bonus was going with a our great friends, eating doughnuts and feeding birds.

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...
