My Mom sent Kamdyn an Easter card in the mail which she got today! She opened the card and out fell a $5 bill. As it fell to the floor Kamdyn started singing, "Five Dollar, Five Dollar Foot Loooong! Yea!"
I busted out laughing. I'm not sure if my almost 4 year old (one week from today) watches too much TV or if that commercial comes on WAY too much! :) I think it's a combination of the two.
As soon as the boat goes in the water!
Kamdyn and I enjoyed a boat ride on Friday afternoon with our favorite Captain. Kamdyn was, of course, being silly!
Love these afternoons with my two sweeties!
A long day at work was soon forgotten....
Goodbye to the Winter Blues!
No, I'm not menopausal yet. However, Richard may argue that I have menopausal tendencies from time to time. I did go to the musical at The Imperial on Tuesday night with two of my most awesome friends, Suzanne and Denise. We had a fun girls night that started at Mello Mushroom. After a near fall, an almost wrecked Tahoe and Honda, sort of running a red light, a debut on stage with many menopausal women, and LOTS of laughter, I realized how much I miss these two ladies! Our teaching trio ended last year as Suzanne and I left Wheeless Road, but our friendship will always remain. We always have such a good time together. As for the musical, if you ever have the chance to see it, you should go. One word - HILARIOUS!!
Kamdyn was invited to the birthday party of one of her dance friends, Raygen. Kamdyn enjoyed jumping in the jumping castle, but refused to step foot on the BIG slide. The princess cake was beautiful and delicious. The party paused when the wind and rain started. Kamdyn and I ran to the car and went ahead and left prior to Raygen opening her gifts. Kamdyn loves a good birthday party!
She got her face painted. She nearly melted into a puddle when I told her that we had to wash it off that night in the bath.

I don't have any pictures of Kamdyn dressed in her St. Patrick's attire, but I do have a picture of some of the damage that the tricky leprechaun did at Kamdyn's school which still has her a little bit uneasy about that green little man. The leprechaun tore up Kamdyn's room on Tuesday while her class was at Science. He left glitter everywhere, chairs in crazy places, green "you know what" in the potty, and a mess leading to the bathroom. Kamdyn wants to know if the leprechaun is going to come to her house. I assured her that he only visits schools once a year! Thankfully, this quieted her fear! She's a little intrigued by the fact that her Daddy will be visiting Ireland next week which is where the little rogue lives. I keep telling her that he is going to chase leprechauns and hopefully one will not get inside his suitcase for the ride back home.

Kamdyn's class went to see The Learning Station in Aiken last Tuesday. Kamdyn said, "I had a good time, but they kept making me stand up, sit down, stand up, sit down. It was too long, Mommy!" Richard, nor I, were able to go with her because of important things at work that day. Fortunately, Georgia was able to go with her. As always, GEORGIA IS AWESOME! She bought Kamdyn a book and CD with their signature song, "Tony Chesnut!" I have enjoyed singing and dancing to this song year after year with my class. It's funny to see Kamdyn singing the same song. Georgia also bought Kamdyn a Learning Station CD. Who wouldn't want Georgia to be their babysitter? I wish she could babysit (spoil) me all day, too! 
Kamdyn and I have been working for several months on a few sight words. She recognizes all of her letters, knows each of their sounds, and even knows the letters that make multiple sounds. Next step - READING!! She is working on sounding out words and I hope to have her reading short repetitive books by this summer when I have more time.
As of now she knows about 8 sight words. Up until the other night, I thought she just had them memorized on the flash cards and really hadn't made the connection to actual reading. However, we went to the Mexican Restaurant after dance last night. She pointed to the podium and said, "Look, Mama! It's says 'to'." I was so excited. The sign said, "Please wait 'to' be seated!"
We had such a great time seeing The Wizard of Oz at The Imperial Theatre. Kamdyn's favorite part of the show was when they killed the witch. She closed her eyes almost every time that the witch came out on stage. It was an enjoyable night especially watching the expressions on Kamdyn's face. I hope to see her on the big stage in a play one day!
Ready for the show!
Sitting patiently in her seat waiting on the curtain to go up!
Her too big ruby red slippers with cotton in the toes, tights, and two pairs of socks on. 
She was mad when the show was over. Here she is giving a little pout!
Back at home with Mommy! What an awesome family night with our baby girl.
