Like most things in life these days, Duckling day just keeps getting better and better! I have a lot of fun photos to post, but here is a sneak peek of my duckling . . .
A&A's Recommendations

This was an instant hit in our household. It is cleverly interactive, and educational with respects to learning "left" and "right."Caralyn Buehner: Escape of Marvin the Ape (Picture Puffins)
I am thrilled that Amelia loves this book as much as Audrey did!Pam Smallcomb: I'm Not.
A fabulous book about how two very different people can be the best of friends.Maurice Sendak: One Was Johnny: A Counting Book
Another favorite of Amelia's . . . and one she can recite.Mo Willems: Knuffle Bunny: A Cautionary Tale
Amelia is a HUGE "Nuffle Bunny" fan!Michelle Knudsen: Library Lion

Audrey's birthday dinner
Before I start posting about Duckling Day and Easter, I have to post a few more picture of Audrey's birthday dinner. It was a evening of grand birthday wishes and lots and lots of love!

Trying Four on For Size
Audrey had to test out just about every present she opened! Her new MobiGo cartridge and her sleeping bag became the perfect four year old combo. And yes, she's sans PJs. It didn't her long to figure out that a warm sleeping bag felt better that way.
And for the record, the sleeping bag is also good for eating breakfast in . . .
and dancing with your little sister.
An open umbrella in the house . . . oh, why not!
And let's dive into a little body paint and crayons as well . . .
I think that it could have been 20 degrees outside and she would have insisted that she try out her new roller skates! Luckily it was a nice day. And she even roller skated most of the way to and from the grocery store.
I love your spirit, Audrey!! Your desire and willingness to immediately give it all a try. Well, everything except most green vegetables.

The Big FOUR
Audrey turned FOUR on April 3rd . . . and we had a fun filled weekend to celebrate! We started off with her first BIG friend party, and per her request we had it at the place where she takes gymnastics. Other than combining two things she loves, I don't think even she knew what to expect.
And none of us expected that Amelia and David wouldn't be there because poor Amelia was sick with a stomach bug. But we did what we all do at times, we adjusted our expectations, called in for help in executing the event, and I think we did a fairly good job of pulling it off. Audrey had fun leading the routines.
And she seemed to have the most fun when she was just goofing off with her friends (can't you just hear them singing their hearts out)!
We had s'mores cupcakes (again, per her request).
And while to me it seemed like a whirlwind . . . I think it's safe to say that Audrey and her friends had a good time!
