Growth in a year

I've been too busy to post much to the girls blog lately. I hope to do better when work slows down a bit. So today's post is just a little sampling of Belle's artwork from the school year, an early school picture and some facts about her that were gathered in September and May.

All About Me!

My name is: Belle

I am 3 years old (both months)

My hair is brown. (both months)

My eyes are blue (both months)

I am 41 inches tall (Sept.) and 43 1/2 inches tall (May)

My favorite food is Lucky Charms (Sept.) and peas (May)

My favorite color is blue (both months). Which is funny because she's been telling us green lately because that's Lilly's favorite color and she has to compete with her sister.

When I grow up I want to color (Sept.) and play (May).

Happy Mother's Day

We were very excited to give Mommy her presents today. We wanted to give them yesterday when Lilly came home from the hospital. Mommy took her to the ER at 4:30 a.m. becuase she had a bad fever. She threw up in Mommy's hands, again, at the ER. After lots of painful tests (like the RSV nose swap), they still can't tell us what's wrong with "My Lil." She had lots of band-aids on her when she got home. Snoopy ones.

I was nervous about it so Daddy helped me on Mommy's card. I spelled Mommy on the envelope. I told Mommy when she got home that there are three M's in her name! So we each got Mommy a card and a little statue of two girls (Willow Tree). Daddy got her new hot iron for her hair! It's very hot. We can't touch it. We also made her these nice presents at school. It was a nice day -- except I didn't get any presents!
