Sonya the Artist

Sonya loves to draw and write. It is really interesting to see how her drawing skill matures over time. She has just started adding body and limbs to her figures a few weeks ago and these limbs are progressing from just lines to shapes. Here are just some of her masterpieces :)

Over dinner, Sonya commented that she drew a drawing for Justin for his birthday but no one drew anything for her for her birthday so Justin took a piece of paper and a pencil and asked what she would like him to draw for her. She said Mickey Mouse and he drew Mickey Mouse's head (The Mickey Mouse on the right in the photo above). She added the body and limbs. Then, she said she will copy his drawing and thus the Mickey Mouse on the left. She wrote Justin's name and he did her name.

This next drawing is of Clara and herself.

The drawing above is a house she drew for me a few weeks ago. No, I did not invert the drawing by mistake. Sonya does her letters inverted sometimes which absolutely amazes me :)

Birthday Popsicle Celebration at Haggerty

My Princess Sonya turns 4 years old today and she got to have a little birthday celebration in her preshool after snack time today. As one of the children in her preschool has a mild peanut allergy, the teachers suggested having popsicles instead of cupcakes.

In case you are wondering why so many of the children are in yellow, it is because colors is the theme this week and yellow is today's color. Sonya is not in yellow because she told me today's color was purple :)

Sonya was happy that Eva, one of her best friends, is back in preschool again after being away on vacation for many weeks.

This is Carla giving out the crackers to the children at her table. Clockwise from Carla are Natalie, Sonya, Clara, Eva, Natalia, Elisa, and Avery.

Natalia is another of Sonya's best friends from preschool.


Today, Clara got to be one of big kids and she sure was happy.

Clara loves going to Haggerty Preschool too. It is now her turn to cry whenever we need to leave.

This is Nathan who always makes me laugh with all his funny actions.

The photo above is Jenny's table and clockwise from her are Nathan, Riley, Dashiell, Davis, Sophia, and Madison. The lead teacher, Erin, was absent today. Her replacement today was Julia and her table was the red table. Clockwise from Julia are Francesca, Will, Nassy, Johnny and Grace.

Carla, Sonya's teacher, pretended to run away with the Dora & Diego Popsicles and see the uproar from the children :)

Sonya was the happiest girl in preschool today :)

The Dora & Diego Popsicles came in different colors and shapes. Of course, the children had their preferences as expected but no one got to choose. "You get what you get and you don't get upset," said the teachers. Carla did slyly asked Sonya what she wanted and gave it to her :)

After all that sugar, it was time to go outside to the Garden Park.

Everyone got their coats, mittens and hats on as it was freezing cold outside even though the sun was out.

Even Clara got in line :)



Line up inside and outside before it was free play.
