Four year old update

Now that Miss E is 4 (!!!), I thought I'd give an update of what she is up to these days...

* she still loves the water more than life itself (needless to say, our apt comlex pool gets A LOT of use this summer!), and has no fear of jumping into the pool, or "swimming" under water...

* she is very social and outgoing, loves to meet new people (especially other kids) and makes friends easily

* she has a major sweet tooth, loves candy and chocolate

* she has a tendency to revert to baby talk and whining (grrr...) when tired

* she is about the funniest person I've ever met

* she loves music, and to sing and dance

* she would rather run around outside and play ball than sit and look at a book, but does like being read to at bedtime

* she has a mind of her own, for sure!!! She is defintely "strong willed", but has become increasingly able to be reasoned with (yay!!)

* she still refuses to sleep in her own bed (ok, so I haven't really pushed it...I sorta like this co-sleeping thing...)

* as of a couple of weeks ago, she weighed 35 lbs when she stepped on my scale. She has her 4 year check up next week, so I'll get her height then. But her legs are looking longer by the day to me!

Ok, there is so much more I could say about my girl, but I'll leave it for now...She continues to amaze me and make me laugh every day :)

Neglected Blog...

This was taken on Mother's Day. It's very hard lately to get a decent picture of Elizabeth. She has become pretty resistant to having her picture taken, and refuses to smile...
Anyhoozles...to catch up....
- Easter was kind of quiet. Elizabeth had a stomach bug, so we spent much of the day at home cuddling on the couch and napping. That was actually nice, since she isn't usually still long enough to let me cuddle her! We did make it over to my parents' house late in the day for a little dinner :)
-Work has been a roller coaster ride of stress. The program I work for is funded by the state, which means that my job is only guarenteed until June 30, the last day of the Fiscal year. We found out a few weeks ago that the state is not going to renew our funding for fy 2011-2012, so our program will end June 30. So I spent a pretty icky couple of weeks thinking I was going to lose my job. However, last week, our program director was able to get enough funding for next year to keep our program open, just on a smaller scale. The good news is: I get to keep my job! Phew!!
-Mother's Day was nice, E and I went to my nephews' lacrosse game and she got to play on the playground and GET.AN.ICE.CREAM.FROM.THE.ICE.CREAM.TRUCK!! She picked her fave, the Sponge Bob ice cream pop. :) My mom was there, so we got to hang out with her for a while too, which was nice.
Not too much else going on. It's hard to believe my baby will be 4 in 2 months...!!
