My dear Collette. She is not only beautiful, but smart! her favorite recent movie is Annie! She loves her ballet class, her favorite thing to do is the chicken dance, she has even requested it to her teacher. At home she loves to dance around the house in her princess Ariel dress or her white country dress I bought at a thrift store; Her ensemble would not be complete without her tapper shoes, either her red sparkly Dorothy shoes or pink dress shoes with a bow on the front. She loves the movie Emma and so does mom, today she even taught Dad the dance from the movie and curtsied towards her Father before running to hold his hand and walk in a circle. Collette often wants to dance outside in the backyard where she requests music, which usually consists of the radios classical station! Her favorite instrument is the violin, she can even pick it out of a song or notice when its not playing. Her latest excitement is Opera she loves to listen to the ladies sing and tells me every time the radio features an opera singer.
Collette loves to eat Sushi roles with miso soup; I make roles at home with cooked fish and some days Collette and I just eat the seaweed! I just made a chore chart for her daily chores. Everyday Collette's jobs are watering the plant, wiping her little table, putting her toys in her basket, making sure her face is washed teeth brushed and hair done by mom, and making sure mom doesn't forget to take her vitamins! (I never forget my vitamins now that Collette reminds me, she loves her orange vitamin C.) I let her draw stars or at least her interpretation of them in the boxes to check off when she has done a chore, its so cute and every star unique! Two days a week we try and do school together; This consists of : Songs- her memory verse song we put to hand motions and her season songs, Math- counting with shapes or other seasonal objects, and Art- finger painting, play dough, paper projects, creating just about anything out of anything. She loves school time...and so do I!
My little- little is getting bigger and so is my belly, She can't wait until baby Bubba arrives (She chose the nickname!). We are having so much fun with our little Collette, and if you call her by anything else she will remind you, " No, Collette". I Thank God for her health and her beautiful smile! I Love you baby! XOXO
