I like that thing

Hazel was a bit envious of Luke's birthday present. She does like things with wheels!

Fangirl

I see it!

Hazel admiring the flowers?

Nope: "I see it aihpane! I see it aihpane!" Hazel is obsessed with all forms of transportation--buses, trains, trucks, cars--and airplanes might just be her very favorite. We recently attended a birthday party a few blocks away from a golf course where a PGA tour event was taking place. Hazel was enthralled by this advertising blimp that was circling above the golf course. Normally, planes aren't so low to the ground and don't stick around for so long.

Last Sunday at UUCA, Hazel had a meltdown and I was paged to pick her up from the nursery. I brought her into the quiet room, which has a glass wall that looks over the sanctuary. When Hazel saw the rows of people sitting, she thought that they were in an airplane and desperately wanted me to open the door so that she could also go into the airplane.

Super Hazel

She may have learned about being super from her sister, but the expressions on her face are all Hazel.

Juniper's last first day of preschool

 

I'll spare you my reflections on the passage of time and simply say that I am totally, completely, madly in love with my wonderful big girl.


Juniper's first day as a Chickadee (2 year-old preschool)

Juniper's first day as an Owl (3 year-old preschool)

And now she is a Lark (Pre-K)! We're looking forward to a great year with lots of good friends in her class and a fantastic teacher whom we adore.
