First Day of School

It went really, really well!  She was adorable!  She only cried for a minute when we left her.  She had a great day!

Happy Kid

Joy adores Bella.  She wants to hold Bella.  She wants to be with Bella.  She LOVES Bella – so much. 

I am always having to tell her to “be soft!”  She’ll learn.  Bella loves it too – she is starting to dish out some loving back :)

 

 

Thursday was a big day – Meet the Teacher at Joy’s new school!  I hope that she’ll have a wonderful year!

Therapy pictures

   

And then the most exciting thing of the week…..Strawberry Shortcake came home!  I ordered a Strawberry Shortcake doll for Joy.  She adores it!  “Cake, Cake!”

 

Joy can delight in the simplest things.  This time a balloon at Taco Bell.

My Joy

Joy love to swim.  That Mediterranean complexion loves the  sun! 

The other picture – we have been working on using both of our hands at the same time – a new package of crayons ($0.25 at WalMart!!) is a great therapy tool!

I love this picture because it shows some of her spunk.  She is such a character! 

And her new big girl bed – she is 3.  It is a little harder at bed time, but I felt that it was time.

Kisses from Mama.  Yes, she is eating chicken and can’t put it down for kisses, so the kisses come anyway.

And then my favorite picture of the week.  This shows our girl!

Silly Girl

We are trying to start a more age appropriate obsession so we have introduced Strawberry Shortcake.  It’s too cute.  She asks for the movie by saying, “cake cake cake cake cake.”

She still loves her Muppet’s Popcorn.  She asks for that one by signing shrimp on both hands at the same time.  Here she is watching “Popcorn.”

Cause she’s cute…

Loved this picture – she was sitting there in a big chair with her legs crossed carrying on a complete conversation on the pretend phone.  Too cute!  

Joy loves to hold her sister!

We are trying

but someone is not always interested in wearing her glasses.

 

Joy’s Current Obsession

Joy tends to have a little OCPD streak.  Things must be just so.  I keep telling the kids when they all leave and it’s just the little girls and us – this house is going to be clean!  Anyway, Joy’s newest obsession is Popcorn by the Muppets.

The Most Photographed Three Year Old

That is what our Speech Therapist told me today  :)

 

Joy loves life!  These are pictures of therapy and hanging out with the family.   

We got a Butterfly Garden and are enjoying watching the metamorphis.  Fun!
