Princess Preschool

Princess participated in a preschool coop this year. This semester her group was all three year old girls. We had a lot of fun, it is very different with a bunch of girls instead of a bunch of boys. In February we did several things for the letter V. We mixed up a batch of saltdough and shaped it around a glass jar to make a volcano. Then we painted it and made it explode with baking soda and vinegar.

A real smile from my princess! These are rare in pictures lately.

Painting is very popular, we painted extra pictures too.

Ready to see the volcano explode!

Here are two short videos with the volcano lava. They loved it and we ended up doing lava in every color. This was very fun and brought up fun memories of doing this same thing with my older boys when they were little.

Munchkin

If you were worried about Munchkin adjusting to having a baby brother, don't. She's doing awesome.

 

She loves to pick out her clothes. She loves to kiss, hug, hold, poke her brother. She loves to cuddle and read books. She is still princess of the house. 

Sure she has her moments. But don't we all?

Sweet Munchkin, love you bunches. Love that you love shoes and choosing out clothes. Love this outfit you put together yourself.

Ready for church

I got Munchkin all ready for church. She picked up some scriptures to carry - she is careful to do things she sees her brothers do. Then she decided to accessorize and picked out a hat. Love that girl.

Hamburger a la munchkin

This is what happens when you let her design her own hamburger. She knows what she likes. Cheese and ketchup.

I love seeing her personality come out. She talks to us a lot, though its mostly babble. She sometimes refuses to use words and other times she says all sorts of things and it makes sense. She knows signs, but only uses them occasionally.

She loves to help with cleaning and sometimes is overly helpful. I have to check the trash. She loves to color. She knows where the crayons and coloring books are and gets them out when she pleases.

She loves shoes, headbands, and changing clothes. She does not like bows. She tries to pull them off of dresses and does pull them out of her hair. She puts on everyone's shoes.

She brings me clothes to change her outfit several times a day. She knows where the ice cream and other goodies are kept. She is a girl. Yet with two brothers, she has a tomboy side too. 

She loves to go outside and play in her little house. She loves to read books. She tries to steal her brothers' violins. She plays the piano and sings. She has a video game controller to hold and play with when her brothers play video games. She is insulted when I tell her she can't do something. She makes sure she gets equal treatment as her brothers.

She tries to add bubble bath to the shower. She insists on getting in the tub or shower with everyone. Bath time is the best! She LOVES to go for rides in the stroller. She loves to go for rides in the car with her dad to the hardware store. If you call her on the phone, she'll blow you kisses.

She loves to do puzzles, but gets frustrated if they don't go in right away. But with some help she's learning to rotate pieces. She loves to grab something when you say "No" and run away laughing.

She hates potatoes. She loves rice and noodles. She LOVES pizza. Grapes aren't her favorite but raisins are extremely delicious. She eats the filling out of a sandwich first and then if she wants to, eats the bread. She only likes the whites of boiled eggs. She loves popsicles and ice cream and chocolate. She eats salad, but mostly licks the dressing off the lettuce.

 She loves her brothers and her dad. She loves me. We have a lot of love here. Kisses and hugs every day. Hope you enjoyed this little view into the fun person that Munchkin is becoming.
