Two big events for Genny this year:
First, Genevieve is now 4 years old! This is a fact that we are reminded of, by her, about every couple of hours, everyday since her birthday. So cute! Every time she hears someone say the number four, or counts something that totals the number four, or simply mentions the number four... She quickly pipes in and announces, "I'm four!" I love it! We were able to give her a really fun Birthday Party! At first though, I wasn't sure if it was going to be fun for her. Unfortunately, a business trip took Bart out of the country the week before Genny's birthday. The night before, she started to cry and say that she didn't want a party. I asked why and she told me, "Because my daddy is gone." Talk about heart breaking! Thankfully though, I was able to talk her into enjoying her friends and celebrating with Daddy when he got home. She did just that!
Every outside toy we own was played with!
Our best friends were able to be there!
We played games like fox and hen and duck duck goose
but the Tinker Bell pinata was the anticipated and most exciting activity for all!
Then came the PRESENTS! Genny was very gracious and thanked everyone for their gifts as she opened them.
What sweet and generous friends we have! Thanks again everyone.
Second, she is having her first experience with going to school. She's only been asking for over a year now if she could go. When school time came around THIS year and she started to ask again, we actually got to tell her YES! She was so excited and couldn't wait for her first day.
Apple for Teacher!
Waiting for her ride. (So cute I can hardly stand it!)
Her two best school buddies! They have SO much fun together, these three!
BEFORE her first day, she didn't really have a lot of interest in writing. She was blowing me away left and right with her reading and spelling out loud abilities. But I couldn't get her excited to write. AFTER her first day, she could free hand her name "Genny" and on her own, figured out "Anna". AMAZING CHILD! She has since gotten "Mommy, "Alex", and is working on "Daddy". Her desire to learn is inspiring to say the least.
On another note: Out of nowhere she said the sweetest thing the other day...
"Mommy, when I grow up, and I'm a mommy, I'm still going to call my daddy, 'Daddy'."
Melt my heart CUTE!
