They can make a whole Disney franchise with this girl

I instagrammed this photo of you and my friend Lisa commented that Disney can make a whole franchise with you. And I have to say, I agree! Look at that face. Look at the hair! I die!!!

Since I spent all day with Aidan yesterday, I wanted to have a mommy and Kendall day today. We went to Target in the morning to check out the Poppytalk for Target Collection as well as to buy a welcome mat for our house. Let me just say that you are a handful nowadays! You don't want to sit still and when I let you loose, you are everywhere. 

As you can see, you are already trying to get out of the buggy. You actually stood up several times. Sigh…

What a cutie pie you are though…

I eventually put you in cart and you were touching everything that was in it.

A quick video of you touching everything at Target.



And this is the welcome mat that I bought for our house. Isn't it pretty?

And here's how it looks from afar.

Daycare Portfolio Night

One of the reasons why I liked the daycare that you are currently attending is the fact that they make a portfolio for every single student at the end of the year. That's one thing that jumped out at me when I was touring your daycare. Your previous daycare (Kendall's current daycare) didn't do this. I remember taking tons and tons of artwork that you had made and they would just be loosely organized in your daycare folder for me to take home. I only kept the ones that were decent, but it was becoming out-of-hand. 

Tonight was the daycare's portfolio night where they presented all the parents with each child's portfolio and they had a slideshow of all the activities that happened during the year. It was so sweet and thoughtful.

I was amazed how the teachers worked on every single student's portfolio. This batch (not sure which teacher
worked on these) were the best. Yours weren't as nice, but I still appreciate what the teachers did.

Here's your portfolio cover.
I loved how the teachers documented every single field trip and class projects that you were working on with the description of what it was you were doing and a photo of you doing it. 









While we were browsing through the portfolio, there was a slideshow that showed all the student's in the class. And here you are on the projector!


They also showed a clip of you and your daycare classmates singing a song. I was quite surprised because I thought you never participated. You were actually doing all the hand motions :-)

Garden season is here

We had an unusually long winter this year so gardening had to wait until the weather got warm enough. I always look forward to Spring/Summer because I love having beautiful flowers in our backyard. It's so nice having a view of our colourful garden from the kitchen. The photo above is our new planter flowers. Isn't it pretty?

So many flowers ready to be planted.

And these are our picks this year.
