CNY parade
Fairhope has a Chinese New Year parade. So we took the kids down to see it and they came away from it with a bag full of goodies: beads, candy, moon pies, red envelopes with coins, and some cool paper dragons on strings.

We turned to find that Preston was putting all of the beads on himself and enjoying dancing.
Happy 3rd Birthday!
Aidyn loves to read. Her current favorites are "Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See?" and "Green Eggs and Ham"; she can "read" them to you. She is a good helper around the house and she enjoys taking care of her "baby" brother. She still enjoys her thumb and her blanket any time she can get them. She likes to play pretend with her kitchen and with her vanity. Her favorite tv show is Imagination Movers. She likes to dance and tries to sing along. She is talking in sentences now. Aidyn likes preschool and church. She is interested in learning her letters and numbers but we are still working on colors and shapes. She has been riding a tricycle for several months but is too short for the bike, even the short bikes. She rides her scooter and pretends to be Marion from Indiana Jones. Aidyn constantly carries stuff with her. Any bag, bucket, purse, envelope, or container--she will fill it with little objects she takes from all over the house (toys, money, toiletries, any small item). The objects become her treasures, which drives her brothers crazy bc often the items are their toys. Aidyn is loving, funny, sweet, emotional, and adorable.

Yep, that is Aidyn standing up to open a present. isn't she tiny? at her 3 year checkup she weighed 23 lbs and was 34 inches tall. on the same day preston had his 18 month checkup and weighed 25 lbs and was 34 inches tall. But she is sure to point out to him that he is still a baby and she is a big girl.

preschool Christmas program
A highlight of our holidays was the kids' holiday program. (Marsha has made every visitor who would sit still watch the video bc it is pretty funny) Aidyn loved being the center of sooooo much attention. Several times she stood up and waved out to daddy, calling his name and saying hello. The audience ooohed and ahhhed at her cuteness. Spencer has been saying all year that he would not be participating in the program so we weren't sure how he would do. But he sang all his songs with all the hand motions and even did some improvisational dancing during a Chipmunks' song. We were very pleased that he enjoyed himself and especially glad that he helped take care of his brother. The baby class is traditionally wheeled out in wagons and we were nervous as to how Preston would do with the audience. But instead his teacher carried him in and placed him a few feet from Spencer and as soon as Preston saw Spencer he made his way through the crowd to sit with Spence. Spence tried to calm him and help him and all was well til Preston spotted Marsha coming down from the balcony to get some photos. But thankfully, when he started crying a teacher quickly took him and helped him get to Daddy. We are proud of our kids and all the progress they are making at preschool this year and look forward to many more Christmas programs.
