It’s spring – new outfits and scraped up noses.

Anna Drawing her Friends
A few recent pictures of Anna, and a video of her drawing herself with friends from preschool – Sophia and Madeline. (They are hiding under a cave in a hidden place.)
I don’t know why the last picture is upside down, sorry.
New Frontiers in Drawing
Tonight Anna was drawing and she drew these wonderful little creatures. (She dubbed them two bears and a spider.) These are her first drawings where she really intentionally made eyes, a nose, a mouth, etc. It was very fun to watch.
When she was done drawing, Maria signed “Anna” on a drawing for her. Then Anna said “I’ll help you write your name, Mom!” And nonchalantly wrote her first word.
Summer Pictures
The whole summer has slipped by without us posting anything to the site. We’ve been busy! Here are a few pictures from my phone.
Anna’s First Letter
We’ve tried to encourage Anna to draw letters before, but she’s never figured it out. This morning she was playing with some letter magenets with Maria, and she declared that she wanted to draw some i’s. Without any instruction, she got out her markers and drew these three wonderful i’s.
I asked her about it as she ate a banana this morning, and she explained how to draw an i.
A New Swing
I’ve got a few random things to share here. First, a couple of shots with Grandma Lolo and Grandpa Dan from Pier day 2014.
And here’s a video of Anna making up a song in the car.
A Cold Birthday
Maria’s birthday was this weekend, and it was also one of first cold days we spent outside with Anna this year. In the last picture there, Anna is in the middle of saying “Happy Birthday, Mommy,” thus the funny face.
Meeting Cows
Anna got to meet some cows last weekend at the farmers’ market. She wasn’t scared at all, and reached right out to pet the big ones and this one little calf as well.

Let’s take a moment to talk about bucket hat
Earlier, I posted one of these pictures of bucket hat.
But I wanted to share just how frequently we see bucket hat around the house these days. Anna puts a bucket on her head at least a few times per week. After it’s on, the first thing she has to do is run into the bathroom and make faces at herself in the mirror. Once that’s done, she’s free to return to her normal routine.
Sometimes she even puts a bucket on her head when she’s already playing soccer and brushing her teeth.
