Periwinkle

When Sage transitioned into a big girl bed we used a gate at her door.  That way she stayed in her room and wasn't wandering the house at all hours!  We figured it was time to take the gate down and see how she did.  The first few nights she was out of her room tons.  She even came into our room at 2:00am one of the first nights and Reese pulled her into our bed thinking it was morning and time to watch a show!  It has only been a few weeks and she has done really well, we decided to reward her for doing so well.  She loves Tinkerbell and the Disney fairies so we picked out Periwinkle.  Periwinkle is a fairy and she can fly - very exciting in this house!   Sage loves her! 

 

She had to hold onto Periwinkle when she was watching a show!

Super Sage Coloring

We stayed home all day yesterday to have a relaxing day at home - relaxing far from it.  We played dressup with every piece of dress-up clothing in the house, we ran around the house, we played with new toys, we even opened up an ice cream parlor!   My favorite part of the day was when Sage kept her Super Sage cape on to do activities/crafts.  She looked so cute coloring as Super Sage!

Picnic

Yesterday morning I was making breakfast and Sage was playing with her dollhouse.  She asked me to come and check on her dolls.  It was so cute she had arranged them on the floor and told me they were having a picnic!   I just love her imagination!!

Trip to the Park!

We walked up to the park after dinner on Sunday.  It reached 60 that day but it was really windy.  We all had so much fun at the park!  We ran around and chased each other and ran off some of those dinner calories!   Sage even got on the swings which was a big deal - she hadn't gotten on the swings since she fell off last summer.  Proud of her for trying the swings again:)

Ladybugs at the Library

Sage had library time on Friday morning.  It is a 4-week session and each Friday morning for 45 minutes they listen to stories, sing and dance!  For the last 15 minutes it is craft time and all the parents come in and help with the craft.  This week it was all about ladybugs and Spring.

Snow Day!

Wednesday we got about four inches of snow.  It was the wet, heavy, really good packing snow and oh so much fun to shovel!  Sage was so excited to go play outside.  So we got our snow clothes on and went outside I shoveled and she played.  She even got her shovel out to help me.  That afternoon we went out to play again with Lydia and Rebecca.  Love having good friends right down the street!  The girls had fun playing in the snow together.

 They each had to try to pull the other in the sled.

Teddy Bear Update

 When Sage was a baby she got a big teddy bear from Mimi and Pop-Pop.  We would prop her up against the bear and show how big she had gotten.  Tuesday night we were playing down in the basement and Sage was all about the bear.  I had to snap a few shots to compare against the earlier shots with the bear.

After looking through the blog I realized we weren't very good about taking pictures with the bear.  We only got shots of Sage with the bear for the first 6 months - oops!

New Book

We have a teacher store in town and I didn't even realize it.  I am sure it is because I am not a teacher and haven't needed anything from there until now.   I took Sage with me when I went to the teacher store - way to much stuff for her to get into!   But we made it out of the store without to many issues.  I got Sage a new book for her to use for her pre-writing skills.  She has been loving it! 

St. Patrick's Day Activities!

Earlier this week Sage and I were at home in the morning and all she wanted to do was activities!   I love to keep her busy!   I got out a bunch of St. Patrick's Day activities.  Besides all the printables I have for her I was pulling out all the green activities I could find.  We had a good morning!

She sorted out the green buttons & then put them all on a string

 Showing off her connect the dots shamrock.

 For this activity Sage went around each circle with an orange crayon and

 then filled in each circle with her green marker.  

Working on patterns and sorting!
