Book: BOB readers, set 2. She loves to spend the first part of 'quiet time' reading to Mama. She is doing so, so well! I can't believe my Big Girl is going to Kindergarten the fall, although I know she will be ready ;)
What she wants to be when she grows up: A scientist or a mermaid.

Lindsay celebrating her birthday at preschool! 

At preschool they celebrated her birthday and she was Child of the Day, which means she is line leader, snack helper, and they sing and get to bring in a special snack. It also happened to be Ash Wednesday, and since she attends a Catholic preschool, she received the Ashes too ;)

Happy Birthday Lulu! 

For her birthday snack at school, she wanted me to bring in our famous Sugar Cookies in pink and yellow butterflies and hearts.

Mmmm.. Cookies! She has a pretty big class: 24!

She made her bed one morning and was so proud of her creation and wanted Daddy to take a picture to remember how she did it for next time ;) 

New scooter! 

At Dunkin' Donuts with her Daddy for a breakfast date ;) 

Lindsay is our sunshine. She has a sunny, laid-back disposition and that oh-so-California attitude ;) Lindsay's favorite color rotates between pink and aqua. She will come out of her room in the morning and choose outfits with bright colors, polka dots and of course, a skirt! Lindsay's preschool teacher describes her as a "joy" and we would have to agree. She loves to talk and talk, about anything and everything around her. Here are a few deep thoughts by Lindsay...

"Chapstick is like lotion for your lips!"

"Mama, did you know you have THREE places on your face for kisses? Eyes- butterfly kisses! Nose- Eskimo kisses! Mouth- regular kisses!"

While looking out the window at the snow, "Mama, why does God make it snow?"
Me: "The snow melts and plants soak up the water? I'm not sure sweetie."
Lindsay: "I think God does it to make kids smile! You know kids love snow days and sledding!"

Lindsay loves to spend time with her Daddy; they have fun playing "Teddy Checkup" and she is so excited to ride her new scooter when the weather warms up. Lindsay is helpful, and likes to spend time with me in the kitchen, gardening and especially shopping! She is sensitive, and has a memory like an elephant. Sometimes a little shy, as soon as she feels comfortable, watch out she is a talk your ear off. Affectionate, loving and social, she makes friends easily. She has a heart for Jesus, and enjoys our Bible story time and Sunday school.

My darling Lindsay, I love you so much. Your beautiful heart sweet personality bring our family so much joy!
