Valentine

Sorry, I have been MIA. I am trying to get back on top of doing blog posts.

We always get Arya a Valentine present. We were going to get her 101 Dalmations on DVD, but then Arya made requests. She LOVES buiding "tents" and "caves" out of blankets, but requested a tent (as well as a star, pink pillowcase, "fake fire," a rock, among other things).  We got her a tent and a pink pillowcase.

MOPS Trip to Pumpkin Patch

Thursday we went on a MOPS playdate to Powell Pumpking Patch. Arya had lots of fun. We went on a hayride and of course, got a pumpkin.

Dance

Arya started dance class a few weeks ago! She is taking a 2 and 3 yr old combo class- it's tap, ballet, and gymnastics.

Here are some pictures that show her bun better:

Mothering

The other day Arya made this bed for her baby out of a blanket and a laundry basket (so much for the toy baby bed she has). She then said her baby was crying and needed milk, so she "fed" it a bottle. Later she laid in on a pillow, with a  blanket, next to her while watching tv. She said the baby wanted to watch Octonauts. It's so cute to see her pretending to be a  little mother.

Nails

Last week, Arya and I went shopping with our friend Clenisha. Clenisha bought some nail polish and said we should do mani/pedis the next day. This was Arya's first time having her nails painted! She picked orange for her toenails and and red/pink for her fingernails.
