WHAT IS HEAVEN FOR A THREE YEAR OLD? THE PRINCESS FESTIVAL!

Saturday morning we took Kate to the Princess Festival. She put on her best princess dress got her hair curled and phoofed, put on lip gloss, mascara, and rouge and we were ready to go.

The festival has their own Princesses along with all the classic Fairytale Princesses too.

We got every princesses autographs, stayed away from the princes, (they were scary) Peter Pan was okay though. Did service for Kids in Kenya, watched plays, did a craft and ate a corn dog. It was a wonder day.

This event supports a wonderful charity.

FISHY IN A BASKET...

We are having a blast at swim class. I think the teachers may be a little tired of hearing the phrase, "look at me teacher." I think Kate says it at least 100 times a class. She is a little fish still. She is almost floating on her back. She has been seen swimming the crawl and even licking the side of the pool. I would say we are getting our moneys worth and more. She has two good teachers, Scott and Jessica. They are good with the kids and patient with them too.

WHat I learned in preschool.

I have tried to keep everything that Kate brought home from preschool this year. Some of it was edible and didn't make the camera, some was played with and is now in the place of lost toys...somewhere. I thought it would be fun to keep it all and take photos of it then maybe I won't feel guilty throwing it all away.

We have a really great teacher who is so creative and attentive to the children's needs. Kate adores Ms. Myrna. We are so lucky to be able to go again next year. It will be three days a week... (yay! oh was that out loud.)
