WE HELP MOMMY

A3 has been asking quite persistently over the past couple of weeks if she could copy the girl in one of her favourite books........a little golden book which I think was actually Aunty T's book.

(I did rotate this pic before loading it but it persisted in being in portrait position!)

I remembered the promise made to make something 'special' for Daddy the other day when we were making a meal for someone. E11 and A3 were left to themselves with the leftover pastry and they came up with this little star pie with a D for Daddy on top.

I think the best part was sharing it with her Star!

Our Small Bear

Our lovely A3 has been delighting us with some wonderful 'story-telling' that has had us giggling away. She especially loves 'Curious George', the favourite at the moment is about his visit to the library. Her vocabulary range is extensive but the syntax is not always 'spot-on' adding to the amusement.

It has been a delight to see her learning by osmosis alongside the 'big kids'. She is really quite funny in the little comments she makes along the way. A couple of days ago, when J12 sat down at the breakfast table, she looked at him and said "J, you look like a fantail"!!! He had the typical 'straight out of bed' tousled hairdo with a patch of hair sticking straight up, on the crown of his head.......there's no holding back where she's concerned!!!!

BIRTHDAY FUN!

BIRTHDAY PRINCESS

You were so excited to be in the 'big bed' for pressie opening.

The cake was almost bigger than you!

Giggles with the Whanau:-)

What a fun time we had at the park.......all the girls pretty in pink. Nana and Poppa, Aunty K,

The As, the Ts and the Rs helped us to celebrate.........18 children and 11 adults, what a party!

Yummy food, big swings and a big game of soccer with the dads.

Wow! You were so surprised, squeals of delight could be heard, when we

picked up your new bike this afternoon. You couldn't wait to get home

to take dolly for a ride.

We certainly had a FUN day celebrating the big '3'!

Love ux
