Claire

This weekend we had a second birthday celebration for Sophie with all of her friends. We had it at The Little Treehouse in Chestnut Hill. It’s basically a big tumble room where the kids can run around and just go crazy. There were about 15 kids and 25 adults and everyone had a blast.

Yesterday we went trick or treating in our neighborhood with Claire. Sophie the bumble bee had a blast – and ate lots, and lots of candy. We enjoyed a sugar high, and then the inevitable crash. But it was worth it.

It’s hard to believe, but the school year has almost come to an end! Next week will be the last week of regular school for Sophie, then she heads to Virginia for a week with Nana and PapPap and then she’ll begin the summer program. Here are a few shots that her teachers took from the last month at Greene Towne School.

 The primary school recently hatched some chicks and the toddlers got to go up and visit with them. Here’s Sophie looking in with Rachel.

Music circle time. At our last parent/teacher conference they told us that music circle is her favorite activity all week and that she’s actually made up her own dance moves. I think we’ve seen a few of them at home.

Sophie had her first sleepover last week with her friend Claire. Chris & Amy, Claire’s parents, were at the hospital welcoming their second daughter, Emma, and we took Claire for the night. Considering they’re two, things went very well and we actually got a good night’s sleep (amazingly enough).

At first the girls both wanted to sleep in Sophie’s bed, but we didn’t think there would be enough room…

 So we brought in the blow-up mattress so that they could both sleep together…

 But it quickly turned into this… so in the end Claire slept on the blow-up mattress, and Sophie slept in her bed.

Sophie’s school had their spring picnic last weekend and Sophie had great time with her friends. It was held on Lemon Hill, just a few blocks from our house. It’s always good to see her play with her friends from school.

Eying up the cupcakes with Claire. They were VERY hard to resist….

That would be my daughter. The one who looks a little lost on the dance floor…
