Singing

Today in the car I heard Anna singing, she LOVES to sing! Can you figure out what this song is? I was cracking up!


Anna: "Kiss me on the sidewalk, take a walk with meee,
Cause I decide, I decide when youuuuu fly..."

She also has informed me that when she grows up she is going to sing. I don't have the heart to tell her that if she really is a carbon copy of me, that is NOT going to happen. I am not a singer, although I love to sing. In face when I sing in the car Matt says "Singing" which translates to, "Be quiet, you sing awful!" She also sings "I'm in the Lord's Army" nonstop which she learned at school, and today she said she sang Hallelujah, but she won't sing it for me.

On Anna Growing Up...



Well, I'm not handling it well that much I know. This whole Anna turning three thing has been interesting. She all of the sudden doesn't look like a baby anymore. She is different, and it happened over night. She talks different, she acts different, she looks different, and she wants to pick out her own clothes. She has never cared about what she wore in the past, but all of the sudden pink clothes and girly dresses are what she wants. She even looks different in the clothes. She has slimmed down and looks like a kid! Where did the baby fat go? The picture above is of the shoes I got her this weekend. I surprised her with them and she loves them. She has worn them every day. Thank you Nanna because they are really from you! I used birthday money to get her some warm weather clothes. She has gladly tried on everything I bought. She twirls around and wants to show Daddy her new clothes. In the past trying on clothes just to take them back off was unthinkable!


She has started playing with the little girl next door who is four. It is fun to watch her interact with Grace and have conversations with her. She went over to Grace's house without me the other day to play. I have never let her go play somewhere without me staying there so this was an adjustment. It felt awkward! She came back after about twenty minutes crying because she fell. She was FINE, but I was glad to have her back!

With all these changes I have to say Matt and I couldn't be more proud of our little girl! She makes us laugh everyday! We just love that girl!

On another note while Anna is becoming a fashionista, Sam is in fashion crisis. He is small and it is hard to find clothes that fit, and today he took his shirt off around 4pm and would NOT put it back on. He is walking around in shorts and boots right now, it is cute, but a little too chilly to go shirtless! Hope that doesn't become a habit. Here is a pic from earlier today, he was dancing. He is a GREAT dancer. Not really, but he is fun to watch!

Daddy Got New Boots...


And Sam likes to wear them!

Sunday Best...


Anna got this dress for Christmas from Mary Grandma or Aunt Jean...I can't remember. But, she looks cute in it and I rarely ever have time on Sunday mornings to take pictures. This week I did. So thank you Aunt Jean, or Mary Grandma- she LOVES the dress! I thought you might like to see her in it!

Anna is Turning Three...

We had a Mardi Gras pizza party playdate for Anna's birthday this week! Anna looked forward to it for a long time and I think she loved it! Saturday the family will come over on her birthday and we will celebrate again. She is really looking forward to opening even more presents!
