Spring Projects

Spring is here and I've been staying really busy. Mom has been taking me swimming at the YMCA twice a week, story time at the public library once a week, and daily trips to the park in the afternoon.

When it rains, sometimes I work on art projects. Mom let me play with markers for the first time, but after 5 minutes we decided that it might be the last time (for a while).
At school, I also worked on art projects. My teacher said, "Did I tell you what a serious little artist she is? When she did the egg project she meticulously put all the colored pieces of paper onto the egg. She had more concentration and focus than most of the 2.5 year-olds!"

The flowers look thirsty!
Whew, I need to cool off!!
Time for serious....

Happy Spring!
Time to wash off that dirt. Good night.

Hunting Easter Eggs

My school had an Easter egg hunt last Friday. My teacher told Mom that typically kids my age don't get the hang of egg hunting until their second Easter. So, two weeks ago, Mom bought us some practice eggs from the store. We've been practicing egg hunting at home for two weeks in preparation for the big egg hunt at school. My teacher hadn't realized that I had become as egg hunting master in just two weeks.

When the official egg hunt began, there were ~12 kids from my school all running through the garden hunting for eggs and filling our Easter baskets.
Two of my teachers, Shana and Krista, are in the background.My practice really paid off and I filled my entire basket with eggs....
...until the new girl started to steal my hard-earned eggs!
Easter egg hunting is SO much fun! I can't wait until next year.

Back to the Pool

The last couple of weeks I started going to the YMCA pool again with my Mom. About 10 months ago I was taking swim lessons there, but now we are just going for fun. I like to kick, splash, and jump off the edge to Mom. Dad came with us on Saturday. It was really fun to have both my parents in the water with me.

Mom bought me a new swimming suit. I thought that you weren't supposed to wear horizontal stripes because they emphasize your waist?
Off to the pool!
After the pool, it's time to warm up. I found my old acorn hat in the closet and put it on all by myself.
