Reading to dogs at the library

Guess who we ran into at church last Sunday...

First encounter with Polaroid

It's magic!!

New dress

Since Z has been dressing herself I learnt to ask for her opinion before deciding to keep any new clothes I buy her.

Me: so what do you think? Do you look pretty? ( her #1reasons for rejection: I don't look pretty because its not pink/it doesnt spin-both apply to this particular dress)
Z (eyeing herself in the mirror): Noooooo...
Me thinking it's another return
Z: .......I look FABULOUS

Going to Disneyland...

Z's prayer

Z's favorite teacher didn't show up at the school today.  I asked Z if the teacher had gone on vacation, Z replied "She's sick."

I usually ask Z to say a prayer for our F&F when they are not feeling well, so I suggested a prayer for her teacher while we were driving home.

Z has always asked about Jesus since I told her Christmas is Jesus' birthday and we get to have a big celebration because it's Jesus' bday party.  Also she gets presents for Easter because Jesus brings it to her.  In the past when I asked her to say a prayer to Jesus and she would ask "where's Jesus? He's not answering" and I would say Jesus lives at church (because church is his home) and he's everywhere and in our hearts, therefore he will always hear our prayers.

This time, strapped in her car seat, Z pretended to pick up a phone. " Hello Jesus, my teacher V is sick please help her feel better.  Thank you."  I turned around and asked what she was doing.  What she said brought tears to this crybaby momny's eyes: " I'm asking Jesus to make Teacher V feel better.  I'm talking to him in my heart."

Yes baby.

Sniff.

A special birthday party

Lately Z has been asking for a party.  So we decided today was going to be baby CoCo's birthday.  And we had a birthday party for her!

I got teary eyed looking at this on the way home from her school.   3-year old innocence on paper-smiling bunny, the sun, rainbow and green field-wish Z's world stays this way for as long as possible!  

 Anyhoo, it's time for a birthday party!  

Location:  Z's house

Attendees:  the birthday girl, Z, me, princess puppy and party crasher Mila

dinner picnic.  Gotta eat healthy food before dessert!

A pic with the birthday girl

Z made a crown for baby CoCo.  Why, the birthday girl must be a princess on her birthday!

She also got pretty with necklace.

Cake time!  Z's decorating with sprinkles.

Yum~
