The arrival of spring

We are finally starting to thaw out a bit. It seems like it's been a long, cold, and rainy winter! We recently had a fence built in the back yard and it's nice to let Kayla out when the sun is shining and let her explore.

We recently dyed Easter eggs and Kayla had a blast decorating the eggs with stickers. Stickers are still her number one obsession. Who knew they could be so entertaining?!?

I signed Kayla up for a preschool that will start in the fall. It is called Chapel Hill Christian School and they go up to 5th grade. I'm not sure how long she will attend but I was very impressed with the facility. Kayla seems excited.

She is doing well with potty training. Almost 100% success at home during the day but I don't quite trust her at night or out for long stretches of time. She went through a spell of waking up and wanting to come to our bed and we let her for quite some time. I decided I wanted my sleeping space back (three in a queen is a tight fit) and we made a treasure box with cheap toys for her to go to if she stays in her bed. It works for the most part but she still occasionally wants to come sleep with us.

Kayla is really starting to interact with other kids and people. She's very friendly. She also got an adorable haircut - a little bob. I really like it and it makes her look so grown up.

Kayla's favorite place to eat is Chick-fil-A - a girl after my own heart. We go weekly for some nuggets, fruit, maybe some fries, a little ice cream cone, and a ride down the slide. So fun.
