I got my babyschool diploma!

My teacher is so proud of me

Now I sleep in a big girl bed (that's what she says)

Playing dress up with Julian


My best friend





My first wedding!
Here I am with Elena and Mommy

A lovely family portrait

Alice loves stickers! She is really into the story of Henny Penny. She puts on her own sandals. She calls me "Mommy Mia" and her dad "Daddy Chad". She recognizes almost half the letters in the alphabet. She loves to draw, write, and color. We got a stand up chalkboard that she likes. She likes the show "Dora the Explorer". One day I sing, "Who Built the Ark?" and she's supposed to say "Noah, Noah", but instead she says "Dora, Dora". She thinks it's funny to change the words to songs like that; like she'll sing "Baby Raffy went to sleep on a bed of Baby Roddy." She used to say "move" and just shove you or the thing out of the way, so I've been teaching her to say "Excuse me". The other day, I see her pushing her chalkboard out of the way, still plowing her way through, but this time saying "Excuse me table, excuse me table". One day, she was playing pretend eating, and she says "Here, blackberries Mommy". I say "Thank you". She comes back "Blueberries for you Mommy". I say "Mmm, thank you." She comes back "Here Mommy, pink berries"! She likes to make baby sounds for fun. She thinks she's so grown up and babies are so little. She says "Peep-a-doo!" (Peek-a-boo).
