Easter egg decorating

Haley asked a few times about decorating Easter eggs since I told her about the project couple weeks ago. She is excited and grabbed her pink basket for me to hold the boiled eggs.Got to eat couple eggs during the project

Get set, GO!!

After many days of bad weather, the play set still has not been completed. Only two more swings and a trapeze bar left to be built. But Haley and Chester can't wait any longer. They love the slide! Haley climbs up and slides down again and again. Chester also has fun sliding down with mommy's help.

Helping out

Haley loves to help out. Preparing vegetables and washing Chester's face are her new jobs.

Haley's first BEST FRIEND

Haley is a shy girl, I find it hard to believe, but she always need time to warm up before she can get comfortable with others. Instead of playing next to other kids in school, she is now playing with the other kids. She also found a BEST FRIEND in school. She said Kaylie is her best friend. They held each other's hand in school. She asked me to call Kaylie's mom to bring Kaylie to taste the cookies she made. She told me to save one of the two baskets we gave her for the upcoming egg hunt for Kaylie too. She always tells me that Kaylie is her best friend. Teacher Gloria told me Kaylie and Haley always stick together. Another student, Jinyee went to Ms. Gloria and said that Haley doesn't play with her as often since now Kaylie is her best friend. I tried to explain to Haley that she can have more than one best friend and they can all play together. She then told me Jinyee is not her friend. I can already foresee these girl drama in the future. Oh No!

California Pizza Kitchen tour - making of...

We had a tour at the California Pizza Kitchen in the school field trip today. We got to tour around the kitchen and Haley got to experience the making of a pizza. Everyone got to taste their pizza at the end. Yummy!

Haley's first swimming lesson

I asked Haley if she wants to learn swimming couple months ago, but she refused at the time. She came to me last week and said that she wants to learn swimming with her friend, Claire. I told her Claire's class is full but she can still go to swimming lesson if she wants to swim with other kids. She said ok... So we signed up for a free trial lesson. We arrived early so she can get familiar with the area. She got so excited as we waited for her class to begin. She sat on the poolside and walked into the water with the instructor. The instructor asked her to put her mouth under water to throw bubbles in the water, she did it. He asked her to tilt her head side way so her ears can touch the water, she did it. She said she had fun in that 30 minutes class and wanted to go back. It will probably take her many sessions before she can dig her head in the water. Yet, I'm proud of her to be brave from the beginning to even get in the water without mommy. YEAH!

Say Goodbye to the BIG tree in front of our house
