Wordless wednesday: 64 degree days

Today was absolutely wonderful. Flip flops, rain boots, walks, the park, and muddles (aka mud puddles). I can't wait for spring!!

Growth spurt

For Christmas and Addi's birthday I bought (and recieved) size 3T clothes. Those fit perfectly, and some were a little big. Fast forward almost 3 months...none of her jeans fit. Or dresses. Ugh! Are you serious?!?! I spent so much money finding her new clothes and hoping shed like them/fit for a while and they lasted 2 months. So we went shopping last week. She's wearing (and fitting comfortably in) size 4/5 in BIG KID CLOTHES!!! WHHHAAATTTT?! Are you kidding???? The jeans are a little long but cover her bubble butt and the shirts are long enough to cover her butt if not. Big really kid? 4/5?! At the rate she's growing I'll really need to get a job!

It's official...

We officially have a preschooler. Yes. A preschooler. Can the even be possible?! Can my little girl actually be old enough to go to a real school and not just daycare?? It seems like just yesterday we were bringing her home from thr hospital. And teaching her how to walk. And potty training her. And now? In September she starts school. Seriously crazy. The preschool we chose was The Field Station Co-Op. I know many kids who went there and it's a great program. They go outside every day and learn more about the environment, animals and nature then sitting down at a desk all morning. Since Addi love animals and nature and hands on learning we decided this will be the best choice for her. She's very excited to go to school. She talks about it daily. So while she's excited I'm gently weeping on the inside :(

I've been slacking on posts lately, sorry. I just really feel unmotivated to write anything and we are stuck in a rut of doing the same things each and every day. But this week was a little different. On Monday we went to mcds playplace on a "field trip" and were there for 3 hours. She had a blast! Tuesday she went to school (because she didn't go Monday) and Wednesday we went to Funflatables, the Disney Store and Build-a-Bear in the mall. She loved the bouncy houses and all the slides. I'll admit it, I had fun too :)

We ate some lunch and headed to the Disney store. Is there a way to take up stock in just the princesses? Pretty sure I have almost everything they've ever made. Well except for the $150 Tangled wedding dress. Yes. That's correct. $150 for a dress up dress. Ummm think we'll pass on that one! I got Addi 2 new nightgowns, a Cinderella plush doll and new Cinderella play shoes. Spent only $50. I was very proud of myself. Then we went to Build-A-Bear. She has 2 of them already. One from when she was born and I bought her and Emileigh matching ones and one from last summer when we went with Michelle and Morgan to Navy Pier. She loves the one she got last year so much. She sleeps with it every night. Now we have a dog, named Toto, of course. She had so much fun making it. Last year she really didn't get it. This year oh man her face was just all smiles.

She told me that it was the "best day ever" and she loved spending time with me. Melts my heart when she says stuff like that.

Yep. Love this little girl.

Little Ballerina

This is Addi's dance routine for her recital in June. I was so proud watching her dance.

It's been pretty exciting here over the last couple days. Took Addi and Emileigh to see Disney on Ice Dare to Dream on Sunday. On Wednesday Em and Mason stayed the night. The rest of the days Addi and I pretty much just hang out. OHH Tuesday! It was like 60 degrees. In February. So we hit up the park. So awesome. I seriously love this "winter" we are having and I'm getting completely spoiled that we aren't having a real one. BUT i'm not going to complain. I'll deal with the rain over snow ANY day!

This girl rocks 4" heels better than I do :/

$10 popcorn at Disney on Ice. Hey, the girls at fun and it was a pretty good show.

Park in February? I'll take it!

Mason and I bonded over the course of the evening. Before bed I even got a "i love you hilbo". Melt my heart. This kid has not liked me from the minute he was born. That's not an exaggeration. I was there. Witnessing him being born. He screamed when I held him. Little stinker!
