After taking “first day of school” photos with her sister, I took some with her good friend/neighbor T, who is going to the same school as K. They are such cute friends!
Note that you can totally see the reflection of the two photog moms in the picture:
Unprompted hand-holding—cuteness!
Someday they’ll be a comedy duo:
K’s soccer team got their uniforms (matching T-shirts and knee socks), and looked pretty cute in them! She’s not going to become a soccer player as a career, but has improved so much over last year. She doesn’t like going after the ball when someone else has it, but is good at kicking when unopposed.
K. had her first day of school! She was excited to go and once she arrived, she wandered into the classroom like she’d been doing it for years. Although she didn’t like to be separated from me when she was an infant/toddler, now she’s matured into a confident little kiddo. She seems to really like school and loves her teacher.
K. started soccer through our church league. Last year was a challenge; this year is better already. She’s getting a lot better at being a part of a group. I’m fairly convinced that she won’t be a soccer player as a career—and actually more convinced that putting her in dance class is a good move: every time she was instructed to run, she would prance, and every time she stood idly, she would do some sort of ballet pose (arabesque, etc.).
After soccer, N. was playing with K’s socks and wanted to try them on—and once I helped her put them on, she went to the shoe rack and helped herself to K’s cleats. Not any random shoes, but the specific soccer shoes. I feel bad that she’s not old enough to do soccer yet—I think she’ll like the running.
K. got a great ballet DVD for her birthday, and she and N. like to watch it. K. is totally into dancing at the moment, and N. likes anything with physical movement.
Twirling baby. When we say “twirl,” N. will put her hands up and turn around. Too cute!
The last week of the girls’ ballet class was princess week, and the girls got to dress up. Here they are with their wonderful teacher:
And this was taken on a different day, but it’s the same outfit so I threw it in here. K. is very into dressing up these days—she’ll wake up most mornings and put on some type of princess dress. So pretty!
The girls were not particularly cooperative—you can see in the first picture that K. offers her hand and N. looks dubious—but I wanted to take a picture of the girls in their cute matching dresses from Auntie D. Thanks, Auntie!
K. turned four—I can’t believe how grown-up she’s getting. We had a party with her friends, and she had a good time. She’s getting to be an age where she really likes having people around—she wakes up in the morning and asks who is coming over to play and are we going over to a friend’s house.
N. with a couple of her good buddies:
The cake I made for K. I used a tutorial I found online, and am pleased with how it turned out.
Some of the partygoers:
And a couple photos of sweet babies with their mammas:
Note, please, that sweet N. is not only having a grand time playing with her Matchbox cars, but she is doing it whilst wearing a dress and high-heeled shoes.
And if you look closely, you can see that she’s making a car noise with her lips:
