Grocery shopping with Amy

Amy is better! This is a picture of Amy in the "car" cart at the grocery store. So cute. We went to the Sandler Center on Saturday and saw the Moscow Ballet perform the Nutcracker Suite. We LOVE the Sandler Center for Performing Arts!!!

Christmas Day 2008

Amy loves her "pony kit" and her Disney Princess Oven. We had a picnic lunch on the beach today - spectacular! The picture of Amy with the mask on is her breathing treatment at the MD. She is feeling much better and sleeping at night thankfully. What a honey. We are experiencing a higher than normal amount of bossiness and defiance. I hope it is related to the illness and not the shape of things to become. Happy Chanukah and Merry Christmas. Hope you are having a wonderful holiday.

Amy's 4th birthday - a horse named Goldie!

Amy's day was a blast. I'm deeply sorry to anyone that may have caught her illness. I couldn't bring myself to cancel her party. The little bunny rallied to ride the ponies, make beaded necklaces, open presents, color pony coloring pages, and eat happy cake. However, she is not herself. Luckily, we had her 4th annual MD visit scheduled for today, so we were able to switch from annual immunizations to immediate illness treatment. I really like Amy's pediatrician and am confident with her recommendations and choices.

Beach Party Ponies rock! They brought two mini ponies, a goat, a bunny, 2 chickens TO OUR YARD! The kids had a blast and the weather broke beautifully for the event. THE MOST AMAZING THING WAS, ONE OF THE HORSE'S NAME WAS GOLDIE! I tried to take a picture of the name tag, but the iphone camera isn't the greatest. Mom, the kids rode a horse with your name!

The Christmas Show at Preschool

"Oh much fun, to is to ride" in a one horse open sleigh! This is what Amy has been belting out. So cute! The Christmas show at preschool was so adorable. The good was: She could not have been cuter in her reindeer costume, she was completely into it, and she landed a front row spot due to her enthusiastic singing and dancing in practices! The bad was: she was so overheated and overtired she had a fever after the show and was moaning in discomfort, and she got a nasty cut from a safety pin, which must have been opened in her costume. Poor little reindeer.

Since she can't read, I can divulge the goods that were purchased on our shopping spree yesterday for her birthday and the holidays! The little darling will receive a Disney Princess oven (to replace the awful house that has resided against my wishes in our living room for 2 years), a wedding dress-up dress, at least one princess dress-up dress, 2 pairs of dress-up shoes with bling, and a horsey-kit (an assortment of horse toys in a blingy bag).

Have I said lately that I love having a child to love?
