My New Bed

I liked sleeping in my mommy and daddy's room. I would go to bed in my old bed, but then in the middle of the night I would go over to Mommy and Daddy's room and sleep on a "cushion" on their floor. One night Daddy told me that if I slept in my bed for 5 nights in a row, he would make me a "bunk bed"...he calls it a "loft bed", but I told him I'm calling it a "bunk bed". Mommy made me a sticker chart to keep track and I filled it up! I slept in my old bed for 5 nights in a row.

On Father's Day, we went to the store. Daddy picked up all the wood and I picked the paint...PINK!!!! (My favorite color.) He started working on it. This weekend he surprised me when I came home from a night at Grandmom and Poppop's. It was set up in my room. I LOVE IT!!!!

I was nervous about climbing to the top at first, but it didn't take me (or Ian) long to figure it out. We can both go up and down the ladder all by ourselves!

Mommy and Daddy are going to add a marker board to the end for me and also put up some fabric to make it like a tent underneath.

Did I mention, I LOVE MY NEW BED!!!!???

The Last Part of Painting Camp

I almost forgot to finish blogging about my painting camp.

On Thursday, we learned about complimentary colors. I got to fingerpaint with blue and orange! Then I used a "knife" to finish my painting.

On Friday, my teacher cut pictures in half, glued them to my paper and I finished the picture with paints. I did 2 trains and 1 fish!

This is my teacher, Miss Christy reading a book about colors.

My Paintings

I got to school yesterday and my first painting was hanging on the wall! I was very happy to see it there.

For my second painting, we put 2 blobs of (primary) paint on a small piece of paper and then folded the paper together to mix the paint (making secondary colors). These were called "blotter bugs". Yesterday we used markers to make the legs and eyes.
Yesterday we used watercolors to find a hidden picture. (Parents: Very easy. Take a white piece of paper. Draw a picture on it using a white crayon. Then let your kid paint the picture with water colors. The crayon picture is revealed.)

Painting School

This is me and Ee in front of my school.

Mommy and Daddy signed me up for PAINTING SCHOOL!!! I love to paint and wanted to go to school. Today was my first day. We read some stories about colors. I learned that primary colors are red, blue and yellow. We colored a picture with red, blue, and yellow. Then we painted on a BIG piece of paper with SPONGES! I had so much fun. Mommy didn't even stay in the class with me. I am a big girl and stayed all by myself. I get to go again tomorrow. One day this week we are going to paint with purple.

I am painting a blue path and a red path.

I will tell you what happens tomorrow.

My Makeover

This is me celebrating my brother's birthday 16 days ago.

This is me after visiting Miss Susan today!

Cookies!!

I love helping (test tasting) Mommy make cookies. The last couple of weeks, I've been asking Mommy to make cookies. She says "no" a lot. Well yesterday she asked me if I wanted to make cookies and of course I said "yes". We made peanut butter cookies with Hershey kisses on top! Yummy! I love the Hershey kisses! I forgot to wear an apron, but I did remember to wear my factory hat from Chocolate World (my most favorite place in all the world!). Enjoy these pictures.
