Hello, everybody (video)

Anne sings, "Hello, Everybody," a song from music class. And plays with toilet paper.

Our little Esther Williams (video)

The other little girl in this video is Anne's friend Alessandra, whose nanny is good friends with Anne's nanny, Lucia. Anne's bathing beauty ensemble is from Gram Sheri.

Anne's playhouse

Anne's friends like playing house with her. (Unfortunately, Anne's best friend, Cora, who is pictured, just moved away to California. We're all sad, but so far, Skype has kept them connected.)

She screams for ice cream

Anne actually calls it "cold yogurt." Which is so cute, we don't really try to correct her. The sample size is just right for holding onto. While she finishes ours. (click to enlarge)

Good morning! (video)

Butterfly

Anne has just reached the stage where she is starting to do imaginative play, like pretending to be a fairly or pretending to be a butterfly. She likes to wear her fairy wings and tiara and read a book called, "Alice the Fairy" that her friend Alexa gave her for a birthday gift. (Anne says, "I'm a fee-wee!" just like Alice does.) She also likes to pretend to be a butterfly, or at least to insist that we pretend to be butterflies. Anne also likes to pretend to have dinner. When Mom asks what we should eat for dinner, Anne lists her favorites. "Cupcakes hotdogs!" she yells. She usually adds to the list corn, guacamole and mac and cheese.
