Quinn started indoor soccer this week with Dalan as her coach. She did great for the first half. Then she bumped into someone, got hurt, and apparently could not get back into the game mentally/ lots of tears. Silly girl. She did get some great kicks in.

This week was tough. Quinn has been fighting an ear infection, and we learned that either her body produces a rash in order to fight infection, or that she is allergic to like 90% of antibiotics. She has to go see an allergist in a few weeks. We were also reminded that Quinn doesn't do well when she is sick. She becomes a different kid. The good news is once she started to feel better and was on the right medicine she was instantly back to her regular, adorable self. 

Here is a picture of her reading yesterday morning.  This girl loves books and is such an incredible reader. She constantly amazes us with the words and sentences that she can read.  I hope her love of books stays with her forever.

Quinn got sick this week. We had done so well with avoiding all the junk that has been going around this winter, but this week it finally caught up with us. Boo!  She had to miss two days of school plus dance. Double boo!  There has been so much coughing.

Week 3- 

These overalls are actually a little small, but Quinn looked so darling in them. I am glad they got one final wear. The shoes she is wearing are actually a size too big, but she loves them and calls them her fancy shoes.  She looks pretty darn cute for wearing ill fitting clothes. Ha ha ha! 

Quinn loves to race us to the front door, and then guard it so we can't unlock it. Silly kid. 

1/52 and 2/52

I want to take a picture of Quinn each week for a year in order to capture her darling four year old personality. Have I mentioned how much I think four year olds rule?  I am love-love-loving this stage!  I also want to see how much she grows physically over the next 52 weeks. 

Here is week one (January 3, 2015)- 

Quinn loves her princess barbies. She plays with them all the time. She saved up enough money to buy two more. 

Here is week two (January 10, 2015)-

We went to a magic show at the library. Quinn immediately met a friend. She meets a friend everywhere we go. I love that about her. She is kind and friendly to everyone. Oh, it was a Frozen themed magic show, and these two Elsas were instant friends. 

Winter Break

Quinn and I have been on Winter Break for the last two weeks from school.  Dalan also has had quite a few days off for the holidays too.  And it has been sooooo nice.  We have been pretty low key, and mainly just hung out at home. Quinn has a lot of new toys to play with, and it's cold outside. We are usually all about the activities, but was nice to just relax this year.  I am a little sad to be returning to work, but Quinn is super excited to go back to school.  She was sad to have such a long break from her teachers and friends.  

Legos! 

I love when Quinn gives us her hilarious dirty looks.

NYE

We had a great New Year's Eve, and Quinn stayed up to midnight to ring it in with us.  So fun! 

During the day, we went to Pottery Barn Kids for their Noon Year Eve party. It was fun (and free)!  Quinn got to decorate a memory box, and then got to countdown to 12 (noon) with a crown, necklace, and party blower. 

Later my parents came over, and we had good food, and watched the countdown on CNN with Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffin as per tradition. 

We also blew up balloons and Quinn got to pop one each hour, and do a simple activity that was in the balloon. So fun and easy. 

Things got real sketchy if Quinn was going to make it until midnight in the 11 o' clock hour, but we knew she would be so sad to fall asleep so close, so we helped her stayed awake. And at midnight, we rang in the new year with pots and pans and lots of fun!  

Happy New Year!
