Spring time

So, after reading all of little Lotus Love's fun updates and being hounded for pictures of Kaiya, I am now officially attempting to join the world of the bloggers!

Kaiya is now 3 going on 13 and loving every minute of life! She started Montessori School in February where she attends 5 days a week. She wears an adorable uniform and doesn't ever want to take it off (free dress days are a real problem in her life!). She is very popular amongst her classmates and is not into "clicking up" with anyone in particular. She just mingles here and there and plays her little heart out at recess! Her teachers love that she has become the class motivator, bribing the other kids to get there work done with trips to Disneyland (not sure how she is going to pull all that off).

Miss Kaiya just finished swimming and gymnastics. She has decided that she wants to continue swimming, but she thinks ballet is more up her alley then gymnastics. She seems to have things figured out at 3...wish I could say the same for myself at 27! She wants to play soccer this summer and she has become quite the artist/performer! So much to do...so little time!

Kaiya had some serious dental procedure on Monday to fix her four front teeth (a product of genetics...poor girl). The dental assistants thought that since she is so easy going her juice containing demerol, visiril and chloral hydrate would just send her off to a nice sleep...not exactly! Kaiya became a belligerent drunk and when the receptionist told her if she didn't quiet down she would call the easter bunny, Kaiya responded "well then call her!". Phew...it was some what funny, but mostly traumatizing for mom, who was crying and sweating and exhausted at the end! Kaiya pulled through like the rockstar she is and now has pearly whites and she is so proud of herself!

The weather here in Portland has just shifted from gloomy, cold rain to gorgeous sunshine and we are so happy! WE can't wait for the spring and summer months filled with swimming, camping and gardening! FUN! We will be making a few trips to California June and October and hope to catch up with some of you then! Hope all is well and I will do my best to blog it up!
