Breaking NEWS!

(Oh ya today she demanded a book while she sat there)

Sage peeped in the potty!

She has been wanting to sit on the toilet randomly so I decided to buy her a little potty stool. Sure enough when we were in Mexico, she peeped 3 times in her potty! We didn't believe Mariana because I thought she was too young and sure enough she wanted to show off her skills and pooped and peeped in the potty for us!! I am not getting my hopes up but it looks like we are moving in the right direction. She desperately wants to do everything Berlynn does so I wouldn't be surprised if she picks this up pretty quick. Yay!

End of year!

Another year goes by so fast. Berlynn is so excited for summer because she gets to staying home with Mariana and Sage. We are so sad to being saying goodbye to another great group of teachers. We loved Angela, Maria and Lili and everyone at Spanish Schoolhouse. One bit of exciting news is that Berlynn will get to have Ms Maria again next year in the kindergarten class. We gave all 3 teachers these cute little personalized pails made by Little Cupcakes Company. She has such cute gifts for kids and adults. www.littlecupcakescompany.com

Sage's new obsession

Silky Pajamas

She wants to wear them every night and she only has one pair. If she doesn't have them she will pull out a pair of Berlynns and carry them to bed with her. Lets hope this obsession passes before her teenage years........

Dont think so...

Berlynn on the way to a friends house.......

Me: "I think I remember where Sasha lives"

Berlynn: "I drived there before.....wait I didn't drive I don't know how to drive yet"

Berlynn: "Oh mom, I need to learn how to drive"

End of Year Show!

Sweet little Santiago....Berlynns dance partner at her end of year show. When he found out she was his partner he said, "awhhh, but she is too tall". They did the Waltz, it was precious! They looked so fancy! When the show was over, Berlynn said, "Daddy Santi and I danced together so that means we are married".

Her teacher Miss Angela and her friends Sasha and Amelia

We absolutely LOVE going to the shows at Spanish Schoolhouse. The kids put so much time into learning their dances and perfecting them. They even have to practice everyday in front of the entire school! Berlynn was so good, I am so proud of her. Can't wait to see the DVD!

It was bound to happen..

"Mommy, I needed a hair cut"

Oh ya....she cut her bangs!!! The funny part is that I busted her with scissors in hand and I took the scissors away. She went and found another pair to finish the job!

Preschool Graduation!

Berlynn had her preschool graduation today, it was so sweet! They all got to go on stage and tell everyone what they would like to be when they grow up. Berlynn says, "I want to be an art teacher".

Since her birthday is Sept 26th she technically has one more year left of Preschool. The school recomended she do the Kindergarten program because they think she is ready. So she will go to public school Kindergarten the following year. I am so proud of my little baby, she is reading in English and Spanish........she gets the brains from her daddy:)

Here are the Stats:(20 months)

Before I give up the stats I have to give an update on Sages little personality. She has changed sooo much over the last few months.

She is the baby who:
*Thinks her cracker tastes better only after it is dipped in the dogs water bowl
*Demands a specific song in the car
*Runs down the middle of the street saying, "bye", then lays down on her back
*Says "NO" when I tell her I love her
*Walks around saying, "Blah, Blah, Blah"
*Launches her milk or food accross the room when she is done
*Will go up to complete strangers, say "Hi", sit on their laps or snuggle next to them
*Smears her yogurt in her hair first before putting it in her mouth
*Often eats dog food
*Will not allow us to help her on the playground...even on the big slide
*Can hang from a bar for 90 seconds....
*Does everything big sister does and more.....she is a dare devil
*Loves tossing food off her highchair to the dogs
*Hates riding in grocery carts, strollers or wagons...she likes to be on the go
*LOVES animals
*Ignores anyone trying to take her picture
*Works the crowd anywhere she is waving and saying "Hi", "Hola"
*Loves to throw her toys in the toilet
*Demands to watch her favorite show "eebee" multiple times a day

Our Holidays

Christmas 2009: We went to New Jersey in Jan to celebrate Christmas. We rented a house in Ocean City big enough to house the whole family. We had so much fun! I was so excited that all the kids were able to get together. We also got to celebrate Amelias 2nd birthday!

We hosted a Christmas party for all of our friends in NJ, it was so good to see everyone and all those adorable kids. I am already looking forward to our next visit!
