Mya's Special Day

Mya goes to Miss Ginger's Small Wonders Preschool (and loves it). They have set aside a day to honor each child and tell them how special they are. Today was Mya's day!


We have been looking forward to this for a long time! Unfortunately, we haven't been preparing for quite as long. I know, I'm a slacker. Preschool starts at 11:45, and at 11:50 this morning we walked out the door, finally finished with her poster. Luckily, Miss Ginger lives just across the street!


She had a great day at school! She got to look inside the secret box and pick a toy (an army set with a tank, a helicopter and a hummer, in case you wondered what she picked), show off her poster full of pictures and information about herself, and share a treat (Transformer fruit snacks) with all of her classmates. In her honor, we had hot dogs and fruit salad for dinner. It doesn't get any better than that!


I thought today would be a good day to spotlight Mya on our blog. She will be so excited to see this! Sorry there are two posts. Apparently there is a limit to how many pictures you can put on one post, so keep going on to the next one.


WE LOVE YOU MYA!!



Mya and her poster this morning. She picked her outfit and her hair-do. I love that kid!!

Mya's Special Day Continued

Teaching Chandler to ride.
This is the definition of addiction. No time for dressing or cleaning! I have to save Batman!

Reading to Chandler. "And it came to pass..."

Teaching Darth Vader a lesson.


With Daddy at LegoLand.



First dip in the ocean.



Easter picnic.



Putting herself in Noelle's shoes.



Look at that baby face!



Driving lessons at LegoLand. She's apparently very concerned about the driver behind her. Not so much about the one in front of her. This is why we never let her drive.



Sassy!




Soooo tired!




Her first bike. Within a few weeks she parked it directly behind my car in my blind spot and I backed right over it. We had to re-live that moment again today.



She seems so girly! Very deceiving!



Minnie Mouse!

Cousins

Maggie, Ani and Mya

Our California cousins are here for a visit and this morning we fixed their hair the same and we decided we needed a picture. Aren't they cute!?! Noelle also has this same hairdo, but she was at school long before I had everyone ready. I thought 4 heads of hair was a lot. 6 is more. Lots more.
