Busy Bee!
AK seems to be settling into her new room at daycare very well. She was happy to see me when I picked her up today and one of her new little friends gave me a hug right away. They seem like a friendly bunch. They must be working on potty training already as AK asked me before we even got to the car "diaper off, mommy?". We walked past some of her old friends on our way out and she had to stop and hug every. single. one. of. them, including the teacher!!! It was really cute!
AK was rather out of sorts when we got home though, she is trying to be independent but can't quite do everything by herself just yet and she gets very frustrated when she can't do something but doesn't want my help. So she had quite the meltdown :) good thing I can ignore the noise!
We walked down to the duck pond today. It was a great time. AK is so happy to walk down there and chase the ducks. We saw some turtles and a fish today too. AK doesn't like it too much when the turtles come out of the water towards her though.
Oat milk doesn't seem to be a hit. I tasted it and I can see why. It's very sweet and grainy. Yuck.
AK and I were talking about Aunty Jenny's baby... we have been saying "baby get out!" in hopes that baby will start to come out soon!!!
I tried uploading a video yesterday and it wasn't working. I'll try again now. xo

Sharing the love
On Sunday morning, AK alternated between giving Strawberry Shortcake hugs and kisses, and beating her up :) Notice how she "pats" SS on the back as she hugs her. She does that when she hugs anyone. Too cute.

Quiet time
It took us all morning to open AK's birthday presents!
Just a couple of stories for now - I think I would like to nap today too!
When AK opened my presents on her birthday, she looked at the dress I got her, dropped it and gave me a look like "what gives, Mom? I want COOL presents". So today I wasn't sure she'd be too thrilled about any clothing gifts. She opened a gift - two shirts and three bottoms from The Gap and wanted to put one of the shirts and some shorts on right away! She was also all over her new Dora princess dress :) I lifted her up so she could see herself in the mirror and she was SO proud of herself! She also had to try on a bathing suit and put on adress right over it. In fact, she is napping in her bathing suit/dress combo!
She thought her floatation trainer swimsuit is pretty nifty and sat down right away to color with her new princess coloring book. She is also in love with her new Dora toy set - she can give Dora a bath and wrap her up in a big towel!
People are so generous to Annabelle. She is going to love playing with all these gifts. xo

Wow
What an awesome party.
The kids played SO well together, the adults visited lots. Everyone ate and drank to their hearts' content.
I am so tired right now but so happy and grateful for all the help everyone gave. The apartment is actually just as neat as it was before anyone showed up. The floor is dirty :) but it can always be cleaned tomorrow!
A couple of vides - I hardly took any pictures - will have to check with other people to see what they have. Thanks to Jenni for taking these videos for us!
I kept very close to AK while everyone was singing Happy Birthday as it was making her cry last weekend. She seemed okay with it today. Just a bit of a frown! She blew the candle out as soon as I put the cake down so I relit it and gave her a second chance to blow it out so that I could have it on video! xo

I'm ready to have a party...
... but the party doesn't start for another two hours!
AK is napping, she's been down for two hours already. She's been having marathon 3-hour naps recently though so I'm hoping she'll do the same today.
We had a great morning - the gym was really quiet today, even the instructors seemed really low-key and tired, so I decided to let AK have a free-for-all morning (within reason, of course!). She and Matthew had some good fun together - running around, giggling, falling, climbing, jumping... the instructors even put up the bouncy castle today which was great!
I popped into the hair salon on our way home to see if they'd take AK as a walk-in... they are also very quiet today so we just had to wait a few minutes and then AK was in the hot seat! AK sat very well today - probably didn't hurt that Dora was playing on the TV and there was a lollipop in her hand! She looks adorable - haven't taken any pictures yet but I'm sure I'll get lots this afternoon.
Christie and Chris just dropped the fruit and veggie trays and ice off. The cake is iced, the salad and dressing have been made, and the apartment is clean and tidy (not for long!!!). Now, I wait. xo

If you're going to have a party...
... you have to bake a cake!!!
AK and I are holding AK's birthday party tomorrow. Most things are under control, Christie and Chris are picking up a few things for me tomorrow but nearly everything else is ready to go!
Today was a bit of a sad day at daycare... on Tuesday (Monday's a public holiday - Constitution Day), AK will move up a classroom. She will leave behind the ladies that have been looking after her for the past year. I am really quite sad about that - they have been wonderful to AK and they truly love her. I'm sure we will be popping in to say Hi. But the ladies in the new classroom are willing to help with potty training - so I'm sure that AK's interest in that will blossom now.
She was playing with her little friend Sophie when I came in to her classroom today... they were too funny. Sophie was chasing AK and when Sophie would catch AK, she'd tickle her, and they would both completely dissolve with giggles. It is so fun to see the kids interact like that.

Stir, stir!
My cake is in the oven!
Just a little tasting for quality control...
Baking is hard work - better have some strawberries to snack on!
