Guess Who's Five!?!

I can't believe my little girl is five already.  Crazy!  She had a great day yesterday at preschool.  She got a birthday crown and stood up by Teacher Kathy while the kids sang "Happy Birthday" to her.  Man, I wouldn't have been able to do that.  She is definitely not shy!  I was snack person yesterday, so I brought some of Esther's favorite foods:  mac 'n cheese, sausage, bananas, sweet potatoes, and graham crackers.  Of course E was to busy to eat any of it. I finally had to go grab her from the "Post Office" to get her to sit down and eat.  And then she got the cherished "Bed Head", preschool's resident stuffed guinea pig. She was so shocked when her name was called, she had to double check with me to make sure Teacher Kathy had really called her name.  Very cute.

Esther's birthday party isn't until Friday.  We are going to Creation Station where the kids get to create for an hour then they get cupcakes and ice cream.  Esther is very excited about getting presents.

Snuggle time.

This is Nikola, we babysit her on Thursdays for a few hours.  She loves Esther!

Sharing the chair.

My little scientist has to take things apart to see how they work.   We even have a bin of stuff she can take apart in hopes of channeling her curiosity to things we allow her to destroy.
