3 1/2 years old

Last night as we were lying in Josie's bed talking she asked, "Did you used to work at the pool at PCC?" I said yes, a long time ago. She said, "How come you changed your mind and starting working at Stanford?" It seemed like such a grown up conversation. I'm often amazed by the things she notices, she's very perceptive and has great questions. We've started reading chapter books like Little House series. Not the original but shorter books called Little House Chapter Books and they're around 70-80 pages with no pictures or maybe one pic per chapter. It's fun how much she loves reading. She says she's going to learn to read soon. She often wakes up wanting to play immediately, especially with daddy. When he gets home from work she wants to play with daddy.

We heard Andy Z at the library with Kaira.
Josie, Kaira, and the moms went berry picking at Webb Ranch. We weren't too successful with me on crutches and Josie dropping the basic of raspberries multiple times but we ate a bunch and had fun with our friends.
Josie and I saw Charlotte's Web put on by Peninsula Youth Threatre 6-12 yr olds. I was so impressed with the advanced skills of the kids. It was outstanding and look forward to seeing more of their performances. Josie was engaged for the whole 2 hours. A couple weeks later we listened to the book on cd on our vacation, which is pretty long. We also listened to another EB White story on CD, Stuart Little.
Fun at the library computer in Redwood Shores. Picked out her clothes that are new hand-me-downs from Katie.
We happened to be at Redwood City downtown library getting books for our vacation and there was a craft project Josie had fun doing.
Josie pulled out this outfit from the storage bin under her bed, a hand-me-down from Gaya (that is still a couple years away from fitting) and asked if she looked like the Statue of Liberty. Love her serious face.
Josie has come a long way in her swim lessons and it's fun to watch her progress. Soon she'll be swimming on her own more than a couple feet.
