A Girl and Her Bob

A Song in Her Heart

As I have mentioned before, Eliza LOVES to sing and does so throughout the day. This is the concert she performed for us recently.

**Note of Disclosure** I will admit to being the parent that listens to and exposes our child to the songs of Lady Gaga, however I am NOT the parent who taught Eliza the lyrics to "My Humps".

Perfect Sunday

The weather was pretty brutal this summer, so we are supper grateful to see the return of cooler temperatures. Recently Eliza and I took advantage of the beautiful weather and walked down to the duck pond and park located at the entrance of our subdivision.

We took some stale hamburger buns and feed them to the ducks. Eliza was having a great time feeding the ducks until a super aggressive mean duck grabbed the bread right out of her hand. After that we decided that we should probably head over to the playground.

Eliza had a great time on the playground and the mean duck stayed away.

More Birthday Fun

Recently one of Eliza's sweet friends from school invited us to her third birthday party. A's parents had her party at a really fun bouncy house place called Pump It Up.

In the beginning, Eliza was very intimidated and she just wanted to watch the other kids. Eventually she warmed up to the idea and enjoyed bouncing around.

After about an hour an half of bouncing fun, it was time for pizza and cupcakes. This was the FIRST time Eliza had ever eaten pizza! We had offered her pizza in the past but she had always turned her nose up at it. However when she saw all of buddies from school eating it - she chowed down!

Unfortunately I never got a picture of Eliza and the birthday girl by themselves, but I thought this one of her little gang of friends turned out pretty cute.

Birthday Party Fun

A few weekends ago, Eliza and I road tripped to the other side of town for our friend Greer's 4th birthday party. Greer had a Snow White themed party at The Little Gym.

After attending a party for Greer's younger sister, Harper, at The Little Gym last year, we enrolled Eliza in gymnastics classes at The Little Gym in our neighborhood, so I think she felt right at home. She had a great time running around the gym, climbing over things, and exploring all of the cool things this gym has to offer.



The Little Gym is a great place to have a party, as they keep the kids constantly entertained, but Eliza's favorite activity was by far the parachute. . . this is her favorite during her classes as well.



The adorable birthday girl got to ride in the middle of the parachute as we all sang "Happy Birthday".

Eliza was in awe of the cake, and told me at least a dozen times that Snow White was so "bootiful". She also told anyone who would listen that she is going to be Snow White for Halloween.

Happy Birthday Greer. . . . thanks for inviting us to your party!
