February Loves







Annie:
-Being so excited to create your own custom valentines
-Having fun creating our "crayon shaving hearts."
-Being so brave when you tripped on the sidewalk in Toledo, scraping both knees and putting a hole in your favorite leggings.
-Being the best reader in your reading group (which is already the highest reading group). I know this because I am your reading group leader. You are totally cool with me being there--I love that!
-Being so excited to sleep in a hotel during our family trip to Grand Rapids. You wanted to go to bed right when we got there!
-Not being too impressed with said hotel because it didn't have "bead curtains."

Jack:
-Being the continual "ladies man" at preschool. Your teachers told me all the girls are in love with you!
-Being fascinated with the Dinosaur maze at the Imagination Station. You are so interested in all things dinosaur. And space. Actually, you love learning interesting facts about everything.
-Your compositions on the piano are so awesome! You are the king of 5ths. Even though practicing isn't your favorite thing, you are always dying to perform.
-Frequently requesting the song "kick drum" by the Avett Brothers. You've got good musical taste, dude!
-Telling me you loved the music at my recital. Like I said, you've got good taste (and I'm glad you love Beethoven).
-Enjoying the Carniverous Plants portion of the Meijer Botanical Gardens.

Rosie:
-Switching your favorite show from Little Einsteins to Dinosaur Train. And singing the theme song all day long, complete with the "roar!" at the end.
-Constantly wanting to wear your Apple Dress.
-Embracing your sweet little top knot. Every morning as I brush your hair, you say, "How about a ponytail today?" And then I gather every last hair I can into that teeny little top knot while you say, "oooh, pretty!"
-Joining me in zumba class, and often leading me in your own little zumba class afterward at home. You can shake your booty!
-Holding a butterfly at the Botanical Gardens. So brave!
