But We're Not Camping

So the weather outside has been so mice lately and we have all been loving being outside. Yesterday, Hannah was outside in the backyard playing and I was inside making dinner. I love my new house because the back of the house is full of windows and I can see her almost anywhere in the backyard. For a brief moment I couldn't see her so I peek my head out and yell her name. She answers me and I realize she is sitting pretty close to the side of the house in the flower beds. As I look down I can see that she has her pants down and is going to the bathroom. WHAT!! When I asked her what she was doing, she said, "I was just pretending I was camping and I had to go potty!" I thought only boys did things like that:)

Hannah's Fourth Year

It is hard to believe that our little Hannah is four years old. She has grown into such a little lady over the past year. Here are a few of the highlights in the last year of Hannah's life:

1. She started a combination dance class with tap, ballet and tumbling. She has discovered that she loves tumbling the best and can even jump on the trampoline on one leg.

2. She is attending her second year of preschool at Country Loft and loves her teacher Ms. Clarissa.

3. She has moved into a new home and really enjoys her new bright blue bedroom.

4. She has completed her collection of Princess Barbies and loves Jasmine and Pocahontas the best.

5. She has learned her alphabet both capital and lowercase letters. She loves to write notes to her family and friends and will not let mom spell anything out for her. She does and great job and is eager to start learning to read.

7. She has learned how to access mom's fav five on the phone and frequently calls the flower(Grammy), the red shoe (Grandma) and the lipstick (Aunt Jami).

8. She loves coming to school with dad to see mom and acts like she is just one of the kids. (I feel sorry for her first grade teacher, and no it will not be me)

9. She is a sweet little girl who has discovered that she has a great singing voice courtesy of the Broadhead side of the family. She also has the talent of learning and memorizing lyrics of almost any song she hears courtesy of the Schleger family.
