This is a post all about Miss Eliza.  Here are some things that have been going on with her for the past little while.

First off, she has started preschool.  This little girl is growing up fast!

She still LOVES mermaids!

And Mer-kittys

And beautiful dresses! Recently, she’s been saying that she really wants to get married. When I asked her why she was excited to get married, she said it was so she could get a beautiful white dress. So, Kathryn got Eliza a beautiful white dress for an early birthday present. Upon opening it, Eliza had to put it right on, and then a full on dance party burst out, just like in the movies.

Birthday party at the bounce house.

On Eliza’s last day before her birthday, while Kathryn was on a girls trip, I took the kids for a pizza picnic at the church and we brought the bikes. As the girls were riding around, Eliza was getting tired of being lapped by Ashley. I commented to her that she would go faster if we took her training wheels off. I was a little surprised when she rode over and said ok. So we took the training wheels off and she hopped back on and I let the camera roll.

Wahoo! She’s got it! We tried a while ago, but she wasn’t ready yet. She was good on balance from all here time on her Stryder bike “motorcycle,” but she was lacking the muscle memory to pedal at the same time. So after riding the pedal bike with training wheels for a while, she now had the skills to ride like a boss.

Happy Birthday Eliza! I can’t believe our #2 is now 4! Growing up so fast!

This most amazing princess kitty mug started out as a white elephant gift to Kathryn.  It was a huge hit.

I love this sequence of pictures. Eliza just discovered the little kitties in the submarine hanging out with the mermaids. She thought it was soooooooo funny.

This girls loves to get dressed up!

And oh my does she love to color.  Most of the time she’d rather color than eat 🙂  These two are great coloring buddies.

Eliza-boo, we sure love you!
