The Dragon

Vivi saw a Daniel Tiger episode where he and his friends made a big cardboard dragon to dance with at school (like a Chinese New Year Dragon). So Vivi decided she needed to make her own. She's been drawing on it off and on for a week now. Look at that face she drew!

Allergies

Conversation with Vivi

Vivi: (sneezes a few times). I think I have allergies
Mom: Oh? What do you think you are allergic to?
Vivi: Oh. Probably kids.
Mom: (tries not to laugh) kids?
Vivi: Well my teacher is, so maybe I am too.

Butterflies, frogs and mud pies.

We have been to the natural history museum three of the last four weekends. Once for a birthday party and two times for a picnic and playing.

There's a butterfly exhibit

Kids can hold frogs in the nature club house

And best of all, there's an area to make MUD. Just a faucet, dirt, and a bunch of old pots and pan.

Who wants a mud pie?

Cardboard Kayaks

A few weekends ago we went to watch the annual Cardboard Kayak Races. Participants got two pieces of cardboard, a roll of duct tape, and a knife.

Vivi's take on potty training

This was a conversation between Vivi and her teacher

Teacher: How is potty training going?
Vivi: Oh, it's not.
Teacher: Why not?
Vivi: I just have too many other things going on
Teacher: What kind of things?
Vivi: Oh, you know, things.

Family portrait

Vivi covered her paper with paint and then "drew" with her finger. As far as I can tell, she figured this out on her own. She drew Mommy, Vivi, and Daddy. I like the spiral bodies.
