Kelsey turns three

Kelsey successfully turned three years old on April 14, 2011. However her favorite thing to pretend these days is that she is five.

We had a nice week long visit with Gram and Pop that included Lily and Addison's first soccer practice and first soccer game. Thus far, Lily is playing soccer; Addison is not. Addison was willing to dribble the soccer ball a little at practice, but refused to even dress for the game. Lily played in the game and kicked the ball several times in the 8 minutes of playing time she saw. But her shining moment was when she "ran and SHOT past everybody else" including the ball and ran so fast she went right off the field.

All three girls continue to progress with reading. We bought Level 1 and Kindergarten sight words BOB books. Everyone can read Level 1 Book 1 although Kelsey still needs assistance. And they all are working on reading more. Lily came in to our bedroom this morning and announced that she read one of our library books all by herself, but thusfar she has refused to read it to anyone else, so accuracy is still in question.

A fun conversation between Gram and Kelsey occurred the other day.
Kelsey: "I have a friend named Claire and she has her own car."
Gram: "Oh, what color is Claire's car?"
Kelsey: "Red."
Gram: "Fire engine red?"
Kelsey: "No, car red."

For Kelsey's birthday we had a fun party with baby sitters, families and friends. The tiara and scepter cupcake cake was a big hit.
