Happy 5th Birthday Violet

Dear Violet,
You are so smart and beautiful. Up until now you may have been viewed as shy, but this year you found your voice and love to sing and talk. Sometimes quite loudly! You are learning how to make friends but at the same time can easily play by yourself for a long time. You and North have become friends and have spent a lot of time together over the past year which I am thankful for. At no other time will you get to be the only two in the house together. He needs a great big sister like you. You are so obedient and take pride in following directions. Mommy loves this. You fold your clothes and can make your bed very well. You are becoming a little girl. But I know you will always be sweet and willing to give great hugs.

Love, Mom and Dad

Violet's Dance Recital

Every Thursday morning from 9:15 am to 10 am North and I have taken Violet to her "Dance Baby Dance" class. At first she did not want to go. After a couple tries, I was about to pull her out because all she would do was stand there. But she had a wonderful teacher, and I talked to her about going, and then something clicked! She has really enjoyed it each week. This is her teacher, Miss Heather.

She did wonderful! I am so proud of her for sticking it out all these weeks.
