Der Elizu

Lydia is really into writing on EVERYTHING right now. She writes notes to anyone and everyone she can think of. Sometimes we can't tell what she is writing but she's getting so good at spelling phonetically. I found this note she had written to a friend who recently moved away (interpretation below):

Dear Eliza,
Some day I'll visit you. Are you five or are you six?
I am in kindergarten. Are you in kindergarten or preschool?
The End
Love,
Lydia

Me love take you ice-cream
(The little phrase that goes with the picture on the bottom left).

Lydia's long awaited first day of Kindergarten

Yea!!! The time has come for Lydia to be off to Kindergarten. She has been ready for about 2 years to go to school. She loves it and loves her teacher. They have P.E., music class, she is learning to read, she is learning math and science and best of all, they have nap time. She just loves every minute of learning. We definitely miss her at home, but she is learning so much. Her conscience is starting to kick in. She knows when she doesn't tell the complete truth or when something is just not right. It's amazing to see her little mind work out her feelings and promptings. What a sweet little girl, our Lydia. We love you!

School Picture dilemma

OK, so these school pictures were SUPPOSED to be SOOO cute! But Lydia's not even in the middle of the picture. OK, what kind of fool takes that kind of a picture. I mean, come on people. And I really don't even feel that bad putting it on my blog for a little while because they are so bad. So this is what Lydia's picture was supposed to look like:

Now here's the finished product.



I did PAY for these pictures, ya know! Wow. What a winner. . . . .

No, but what's really funny is that on the envelope the pictures came back in, the big advertisement was "Reordering is easy, order more pictures today!"
I don't think so.
