Teething Bites.

If this picture had a sound bite, you would now hear LOTS and LOTS of crying!

Preschool Pony Pals

Over the past two Saturdays, Abi took pony classes at one of our local parks. For some time now, Abi has asked me, on a fairly frequent basis, if she can have a horse. Our conversations usually go something like this:

Abi: Mom, can I have a horse? I really, really want one.
Me: No, not right now. Maybe when you get older.
Abi: Maybe tomorrow?
Me: We'll see.
Abi: OK.
...And that usually tides her over until the next day when we have an almost identical conversation.

So, when I saw the Preschool Pony class, I had to enroll her. As expected, she had a great time in her class - she learned how to care for the horse, was taught some lessons in safety and even got a few rides!

Here are some pictures and videos of Abi and her horse, Symphony:

School's Out!

Today was Abi's last day of preschool. I can't believe it is already over. For Abi's first year in school, she adjusted well and did a great job - she met lots of new friends, loved her wonderful teachers and even managed to squeeze in some learning in between all the coloring, art projects and playing!

Abi's First Day of Preschool - September 2009

Abi's Last Day of Preschool - June 2010

I am praying that the sun will finally make an appearance and summer will arrive so we can enjoy some time outdoors. Otherwise, it is going to be a very LONG summer and I will be anxiously awaiting for September (aka. start of the school year) to arrive! :)
