It’s been a couple months since our last blog post. Since then a lot has happened. Annabelle caught her first illness right before Easter. She got Roseola but we were lucky that her fever broke and her rash mostly went away by Easter. She wasn’t contagious to adults and older kids so we were still able to see Grammy and went to Aunt Shells for supper. So overall it was a good Easter.
We’ve been on the lookout for a toddler friendly bracelet and her Great Uncle Jeffrey found one and sent it to her. It went perfect with her outfit for her friend Lillia’s fancy tea party. If only I could get her to remove her sunglasses. She insisted we keep them on.
See how proper she is! She even holds out her pinky.
Annabelle started school 2 days a week last month. We enrolled her into a good preschool where she can start working on her socialization skills. Every day they have art, music, indoor gym and 2 outdoor play times. When she’s a little older they’ll start teaching a second language, baby yoga and she can enroll in dance there. This summer they have what they call water days one day a week. The kids come to school in their swimsuits and play in the sprinkles, baby pools and water tables. So far she loves it! She doesn’t even cry when we leave her there. She just waves goodbye. This is Annabelle playing on her first day of school when we came to pick her up.
Of course as soon as she started school, she got her first cold. That was no fun! Her hair is now getting long enough where we can start to do something with it. Or should I say, have to do something with it. It drives me nuts when her hair is in her face.
Her new word lately is Tickle. She loves to tickle and to be tickled. She has also said down, usually as we are walking down the stairs. She has several new teeth and is working on another. She is growing up so fast! When we look at her now we think, “She’s not a baby anymore.” Now she’s an official toddler. It's a lot of fun watching as her personality comes out and she becomes a little person.
