Melanie's 4th Birthday

Melanie turned 4 on March 3. She wanted to go to Mobius Kids for her birthday, so we spent the afternoon there as a family and then came home and had pizza, presents, and cake. She requested a bunny cake for her birthday. She wanted it to be just like her favorite stuffed animal, Bow Bunny. I thought it was a pretty good likeness, but she had to inform me that her bunny has arms and legs. Oh well.

Our Beautiful Ballerina

Melanie asked me recently if she could take ballerina class, so I signed her up for a class that starts next month. Her next request was, "Mom, if I'm going to go to ballerina class, I need ballerina cloths." She now has a leotard and tutu that she is very proud of and wears constantly. Last week she removed our table and chairs from the dining room so she could have a stage and pretended she was teaching ballet to a bunch of ballerinas. I was listening from the other room and could hear her say, "okay ballerina's, and one and two and three.." It was very cute.

Cody's Big Boy Bed

Cody has enjoyed the freedom of a "big boy bed". He has discovered he can get up and play instead of going to sleep. What frequently happens now is that he plays and plays until he gets so tired he falls asleep on the floor with toy in hand.

Halloween

Melanie was a beautiful princess for Halloween and Cody was a football player (surprise).
