Well April 20th our little girl had her 4th birthday! I just can't believe how big she is getting in such a short time. She is doing amazingly well. She is into dollies and anything girley. She likes to wear those dollar store necklaces and plastic high heeled shoes. However, she can hit a tee-ball like a pro and really enjoys kicking the soccer ball. She is very athletic by nature but still likes to doll it up when she can! She is still speech delayed but it is improving everyday.
She is still going to Sweetwater Bay Montessori and if asked she says that her best friends are Gwen, Vivek, Avery, Swapna, Gavin, Skandon and Swayzie, now mind you that is 1/2 the class! She says that her favorite teacher is Grandpa (who is Ms Carolyn's husband (and not a teacher))...she says that his only job is to wash dishes haha!
She is decided that she is going to marry Amare. (Angela and Andre's little boy) only because he told her so! ha! She does have a rather large crush on a boy down the street, Mac, he is 12 and boy does she like him. She is also very fond of her cousins "baby Landon" (who will probably be called this until he is 30) and her cousin Hunter. Her other favorite thing is tormenting Isaac. Ohh My Gosh she is a pro at this. She can push his very last button!
When she grows up she wants to be a "trashman" or a doctor.
So for her birthday she has been telling us for a number of months that she wants to have a tea party. I found a place online called Mrs. Potts Tea Party. So we decided to go for it! It was a birthday party fit for a princess. All the kids were instructed to dress as a princess or a super hero. I had a friend from my baby board send Julia her older daughter's sleeping beauty dress and she has hardly taken it off. It is really big but who cares, right??
The party was officiated by her favorite princess Snow White. She was thrilled!! All her favorite people were there. They played pin the crown on the princess, had a "find the princess" hunt, and Snow White read them a few princess stories. They also got their face painted by Snow White. For their tea party they drank apple juice and pink lemonade and had all the Nutella and peanut butter, peanut butter and honey and cheese sandwiches that their stomach could hold. Then of course they had cake and presents.
Julia received an All American Girl Bitty Baby from my mom and sister. She has named her Fiona. She named her this because "Fiona is a Princess". My aunts and cousins gave her accessories for the bitty baby. She got a diaper bag and high chair and a swimming suit. She also got a changing table from her Grana and Grampie and mom and dad. Isaac got her a beta fish...which she named Foxy (she has this whole F theme going with names ha). Another favorite gift of her's was a Barbie Cash register she got from her Papa. There were many more gifts. Our girl was spoiled senseless and know that she has played with every little toy she has received.
So now for the pictures!
Here she is opening her Beta Fish. She really wanted a "Fish in a bowl" for her birthday!
Here is our Princess all dressed up for the Party!
