Everyday Anna

Nona bought Anna a Build A Bear kit. It required sewing far beyond my ability (which is very little to none). After two hours and a very impatient Anna, we had a bear.

Anna looks cute in my glasses. Okay, she looks cute in everything.

Anna had her outfit picked out weeks before St. Patrick's Day. It was VERY important to her. She asked me, Mama, do they really pinch little children? I told her, not at her school. :)

One thing I have noticed about Anna lately is she is starting to gain more patience and stick to it-ness. She made this Lego creation and was very proud of it, as was I! She has been able to work on jigsaw puzzles by herself lately also.

What does it take to wear our Anna Banana out? A full day of school, play, and horseback lessons, a bath, followed by more playing, and then she will finally fall asleep watching cartoons in living room!

Anna loves to copy words. She copied the word Freedom off of her t-shirt. I think that is why it is backwards.



Anna and Jonathan have been attending AWANA since January. They are still eager to go every week and they have been keeping up with their verse memorization. Jonathan is really into reading the Bible on his own.
Anna picked me a bouquet from the yard.
Anna is learning to write and copy words. There are some words she can already remember and spell on her own, but others she copies from around the house.
Nona took us out to a lunch at Fujiyama. Anna got in the Kirin boat for a picture opp.

Anna and me went on a special date while the men went to a baseball game.

Anna is growing her hair back out and she let me put it in these little pigtails. She is so cute! She is completely ready to go to Kindergarten.
