Veda and I are reading a Disney book filled with princess stories. I was about to leave for work and she ran to me and said "wait mommy, we have to read the 5th story" ummmm, who could resist that? Not me! So we read before I left.

11/365 Book Worm

Grayson has a new love of books! He wants us to read all the time....well more like ask him to point out a certain animal or object. This new love is really helping to develop his language skills. I have noticed him talking more than ever lately! He surprises me everyday with a new word, even if only mommy understands what he is saying, I am so proud!

Today we enjoyed a play date before dance class with the Uresti clan. It was wonderfully sunny out and a whopping 44 degrees. The kids enjoyed bubbles, sidewalk chalk, and soccer.

Look who is spelling her name! She has been able to for a couple months now but I never thought to snap a photo of it. Thanks for the idea Tina!

8/365 Birthday Girl

Dear Veda,

I cannot believe four years have passed since I first held you in my arms. My first miracle, my precious daughter. You are a gift I am eternally grateful for. You are such an amazing, bright little girl. Your sweet smile and your silly giggle light up the room. Your personality continues to grow with you. You make mommy and daddy laugh continuously throughout each and every day. I can't imagine my life without you. I am so blessed that I was chosen to be your mommy. You had a busy year being three. We took a family vacation to PA, in which you met some great friends for the first time. You talk about that weekend often and you love sending videos to the Kraft family. I don't think you will ever forget that we drove to an amusement park that wasn't open that day! boy were you MAD! We took another vacation to Northern Michigan during the week of 4th of July. Nana and Papa joined us. We stayed at Boyne Mountain in a condo that you were in love with because there was a pool that we swam in everyday. You went to your first big parade and loved every second of it. When vacation was over and we were pulling away from the condo you started crying and said you didn't want to leave our new house.....apparently we were gone for so long you thought we moved in. So sweet.
You are in your second year of dance and you are performing like a true star. I think you enjoy singing more than dancing when you are on stage. I love watching you shine. You are not afraid to belt out a tune in front of a large audience. I am so proud of you! A huge milestone for you this year was preschool. Mommy was so apprehensive to let you go, but I am glad I did. You enjoy everything about it....well except for the bully of the class! You talk about your teachers everyday, and your bestie in the class, Bailey. I'm looking forward to watching you continue to learn and make friends.
Although I mourn the loss of your toddlerhood, I love to watch you grow into the little lady you are becoming. I can't wait to see what this year brings for you! I love you sweetie!!

Love you to the moon and back,

xoxo Mommy

Grayson is spending his first night in his big boy bed. Hubby converted the crib to a toddler bed tonight. Grayson was pretty apprehensive at first but eventually decided it was okay.
