I feel like......
....I am constantly playing catch up with this blog! I have been terrible at keeping it up, but wanted to post what has been happening around here.
Well, for starters, Kara is not in preschool, don't let the pictures fool you. We gave it a go, and it just didn't work out. We just felt like she wasn't ready, so we will try again in January.
Kara had her 3rd birthday, and it was all "Jellyfish!" She LOVES jellyfish, and the color yellow, as well as The Little Mermaid! So she dressed up like the little mermaid, and had a great little party. I made some "jellyfish" out of pasta and hot dogs for the kids, and they just had a great time. All the grandparents were here to help her celebrate, which is always so special.
Kara had her three year check up, and did great! She is in the 30th percentile for height, can't imagine why, and 80th percentile for weight. She is our little bear! Kara also went to the dentist for the first time, and LOVED it. We drive by there on our way to the gym on a regular basis, and she points it out every time.
We had success potty training over my Thanksgiving break! I LOVE the fact that I don't have to change diapers anymore, but I have to admit, I am a bit sad that she is getting so big! Where does the time go.....
Kara is becoming more and more independent, and Brian and I love listening to her play with her dolls and such. She is so imaginative, and creative, and we just eat it up! She loves to play with her Buzz and Woody dolls, Barbie, her kitchen, and she is enjoying dress up. She loves to do things "By myself" as she will inform you.
Kara has officially started tap and ballet dance class at Studio A in Pleasant Hill. Today was her first class, and she did GREAT! She really had a great time, and I just LOVED watching her!!! It really brought me back to all the dance classes that I took growing up. She was so adorable doing her tap, and ballet. She listened really well to the teacher, and I think she is going to just love to go every Saturday, even if it is at 8:15 in the morning. The sacrifices we make as parents are SOOOOOO worth it.
We are looking forward to the holiday!!! Kara loves "Christmas time" as she has been calling it. She loves looking at all of the lights on houses, and CANNOT wait to visit with Santa. I am really looking forward to Christmas this year, she is really understanding the concept. We have an Elf that has come to visit us, Dipperdo, yes that is the name she picked, and she looks for him every morning to see where he has landed. She talks to Dip, and tells him the things that she wants so he can report back to Santa! Loving the holidays!!!! Tomorrow Kara and I will go see "The North Pole Revue" at the Dean Lesher Center in Walnut Creek. I am looking forward to this Mommy/Daughter date, and I know she is going to just love it!
