Is it spring yet?

We keep talking about all of the things that we're going to do when the snow melts and it gets nice outside.  Vera has a long list:

• Play with Blake and Bailey outside at our house.
• Have Karly over to play.
• Go to the dentist with mom.
• Go to the swimming pool and the park.
• Play on her swing set.
• Ride her new tricycle outside.
• Get new glasses.  (Her glasses are scratched and she's having trouble understanding why they won't wipe off.)
• Turn 3 years old!
• Become a big sister!!

In the meantime, we've been doing our best at playing inside.  

The #1 favorite is playing the iPad.  We've recently put new activities and games on it, and Vera would sit and play for hours if we'd let her.  To keep iPad time in-check, I often set a timer so Vera knows that her screen time is up!

Dancing and playing dress-up has also been a hit.  These princess slippers are my favorite.  Crack me up!

We've been working on writing our name and drawing stick people.  This is Vera's first drawing of a stick person (that I've seen.)  Meet Patty on her birthday.  :)  I just love it!

Vera has also discovered the color-by-number activities in her coloring book.  Since she can recognize her numbers and colors, this was fun for her.  She did a pretty good job.

We change our clocks this weekend, and spring is officially 11 days away!  Please hurry spring; we're ready!!
