Before Baby

The past couple weeks we have been trying to spend some extra special time with Anna Kate before the baby comes. I have tried to document, using my phone, both special and some ordinary days too so that we can remember before time starts to fly even faster. Here are some of the things we have been up to...

For Easter, Gigi gave Anna a strawberry plant to take care of. She has taken her plant parent role very seriously and we have eaten many red strawberries!

Ready for anything!

Feeding Joe, Nana's horse at the barn!

Our Chick-Fil-A has started doing a "Preschool Playhouse" once a week where they have different groups and organizations come in and do lessons and crafts with preschoolers. This day, we went to see a pediatric dentist who had all of these stuffed animals with teeth for the children to practice brushing.

  

 

Many trips to Discovery Place Kids have been made- these events are on her repeat list when we go- get dressed up as a mermaid, ride the dolphin, and seen below, hit up the grocery store!

Enjoying the fruits of her labor- strawberries!!

A little globe time. She currently likes to point out home, where Disneyworld is, where Grandma Post lives, and where the kangaroos live.

Fro-yo trip before sister comes! 

A new favorite activity- painting with "sidewalk chalk paint" (water, cornstarch, and food coloring). This was our first day doing it and we were outside for about an hour and a half painting and playing. We also learned to tone down the blue food coloring since it didn't rinse off as well as the other colors. Oops.

More driveway fun! This is our usual these days once Mommy gets worn out- bubbles and Anna Kate running around while Mommy holds down the folding chair.

Strawberry picking with Nana and Lisa! This is Nana's favorite spring activity, so we hit up the strawberry patch before baby came!

Practicing entertaining ourselves at home... Eating an apple in a box while drawing, and the every day princess dress up that happens!
