This Little Girl is Growing Up....

While my family was here for Easter, we did a little furniture switch-a-roo with my parents. They brought a trailer full of furniture, and they left with a trailer full of different furniture! One of our "new" pieces of furniture was a trundle bed for the guest room. We set it up, and that night, Anna Claire asked if she could sleep in there. We obliged, thinking nothing of it. Until the next night, when she asked to sleep in there again. This went on for four days before she finally declared the guest room bed her new bed! The funny thing is, there is a TV in that room that only gets a few channels, so AC has been going to sleep every night watching HGTV! We bought a princess comforter for the bed, and she's hooked. She sleeps so well in the new bed, but I must admit, it's hard to believe she is old enough to sleep in a "big" bed!

With the beautiful weather we've been having, we've been outside as much as possible. The other day, Anna Claire came to me and said, "Mom, can we chalk?" Translation: "Can we go outside and draw with sidewalk chalk on the driveway?". Needless to say, our driveway is rather colorful at this point. While we were out there, AC saw a couple of ants. She immediately went over to a little stack of bricks that we have and carried them one by one over to the scene of the ants. Something about building a tower to stop the ants. She even "chalked" her wall, and then sat on it, proud of her tower! 

Today, Anna Claire started swim (or is it swimming?) lessons. She picked out a new swimsuit and was super jazzed about going today!

After we went inside to sign in, we waited for her instructor to arrive. Please tell me when she grew those long legs. Mercy.

When the instructors arrived (there were several), they stood by their name plate and then the kids were to go to their assigned instructor. In our case, it was Ms. Becca. Anna Claire went right to her and started chatting. I'm sure Ms. Becca knows more about Anna Claire and our family than she cares to, but whatever. I wanted to keep my distance and let her get comfortable with her new teacher, so this next picture is not the best, but you can only imagine what she must be saying!

Parents will be allowed to go out on the pool deck next Thursday for the last day of class, so I'll be able to post some pictures of her in the pool at that time. She must have had a good time b/c she came out smiling and said she wants to go back tomorrow.
