Star Light, star bright

I was reading a Dora story to Shaylah tonight which talks about wishing on the first star you see each night....her wish was for more Princess dresses in her closet.

Before and After

Shaylah's First Haircut

OK, so I know that Shaylah is almost 3 years old, but she has never even had her hair trimmed before. I took her today to get her first ever haircut and all went well. It was a place that was geared toward kids...she watched Dora on TV, rode in a Spiderman car (which she chose over the pink Barbie car!) and got a prize at the end (a Dinosaur). It was a great experience for both of us!

Christmas

Shaylah has been waiting for Christmas for months....every since she learned that we would be going on a big plane to spend Christmas with her cousins. Despite a along plane ride and several illnesses, the trip was well worth the wait! Here are a few photos from Christmas day.

Baking

Shaylah can often be heard saying "Can we make something?". She got plenty of opportunity to bake and decorate with her cousins.

Outdoor fun

Shaylah has discovered a new love of snow. It is no longer just needed for Santa, but is also a great place to play and go sliding. We had to buy her a new sled as soon as we got home!

Our little princess

Shaylah was so happy to have an older girl cousin to play with. Sarah taught her about make-up, dressing up and dancing. Shaylah loved getting into Sarah's closet and trying on all her princess clothes.
