One reason that I haven't is because Kayla's Dad and I have divorced. The past few months have been rough and I wasn't sure how everything would end up. Right now we get along just fine and Kayla seems to be adjusting OK. I know she will struggle with her parents not being together but I hope to show her that we both love her very much and want what is best for her.
Let's see...Kayla is still enjoying pre-school. She does lots of painting and crafts and is has lots of friends at school. Kayla knows all of her shapes and colors, can count to 20, and speaks like a four year old! She loves puzzles, coloring, books, and of course her Nemo blankets! She is full of imagination and silliness.
Halloween (Kayla's birthday) was lots of fun. She had her birthday party at Chick-fil-A and had friends and family. The highlight of the night was when the big cow came out. She really loved it! I made her cake and of course Chick-fil-A handled the food. Kayla dressed up like Blue's Clue's this year and we went trick or treating twice. She was still a little timid this year but I think she thought getting candy from people was pretty cool. I'm pretty sure I ate all the chocolate.
Thanksgiving came and went and we had a great time celebrating.
Kayla had a follow up visit for her heart murmur. The defect is still there and we have another appointment in June 2011 to see if it has been resolved. As of today she is in great health and besides a couple of sniffles, she has been free from sickness this year!
Christmas was great fun for Kayla this year. She really enjoyed her Advent calendar (I put jelly beans in each box), and she of course had fun opening presents, baking cookies, and looking at Christmas lights. She was able to spend Christmas Day at my parents and at Cary's parents. Christmas morning she "wrapped" two presents up for herself...her two Nemo blankets!
Kayla spends a lot of time at Nana and Papa Shu's house and loves that. She also enjoys when Mimi comes to visit. She's not much a phone talker...just like me!
As we say goodbye to 2010 I am amazed at how time flies. I really cannot believe my little girl is 3! It makes me sad that she will be grown up before I know it, but I am also so thankful for her budding personality and can't wait to see what type of person she becomes. She is already very sweet and tender-hearted, loves to share and see everyone happy. So far so good!
Bring on 2011!!!
