Playing Memory with a princess is always exciting...and Sydney reading

Yesterday we tried on Sydney's Easter dress for the first time--it was a bit too big but she loved it anyway! She did not want to take it off, said she was a "princess!" I have no idea where she gets this...we only have princess stickers--no movies, etc. and we never refer to her as a princess...I'm wondering if it's just an innate little girl thing to want to twirl in pretty dresses! Anyhow, I found a hand-me-down dress from a friend of ours that we tried on next. Sydney was in heaven. Then she wanted to play Memory and then she wanted her bunny to join in the fun! So I have included a couple of pictures of our "princess" and a video of her helping the bunny with her turn (yes, Sydney had a turn, Mommy had a turn, and Bunny had a turn. :) ) Gotta love their imaginations!

Also every night before bed we read a story; I take a turn reading, then she takes her turn. She goes through phases and her current phase is Baby Bear Baby Bear What do you see? Last night she was reading with Joe and I got a video of her reading during her turn. I was surprised that she remembered nearly all the animals. I guess I shouldn't be surprised though--we have only read it close to a thousand times I'm sure!! (For those who have never heard it, it goes "Baby bear baby bear, what do you see? I see a _____ looking at me.") Joe does a good job translating the names of the animals. :)

Last but not least--Sydney and her Diego sticker chart. Today has been her first day in big girl undies and she's done very well! One accident today so far but she was able to tell me as it was happening so I can see some positive to that! :)
