44 Months Old

Isobel had a busy month. She had sports day at preschool that was held inside due to the rain. Isobel still had fun participating in the races and getting ribbons.

She finished her swim class and passed into the next level.

She went on a date with daddy to Steveston while mommy was at an Indian cooking class.

Grandma and Grandpa Walker arrived for a long visit. They were able to make it in time for Isobel's last day of preschool and last ballet class of the session. Isobel had fun charging Grandma for kisses.

Grandma took Isobel to get her hair cut. Isobel picked the length. It took me a while to get used to it, but now I agree that it suits her.

Isobel said bon voyage to Great Aunt Joan as she boarded the plane for her fist trip to England.

We celebrated Father's Day. Isobel made a lovely pink picture frame for Jon in preschool.

We spent time at the garden, planting and weeding. Isobel ate some potatoes from our garden and one of the sunflowers she planted is now taller than she is. She even made friends with the little boys from the garden plot behind ours.

Our complex pool opened up. We avoided the first day this year, but it was still really cold when we went.

We had a games day at Uncle Matty's while he was home on holidays. Isobel helped him blow out his candles and cut his birthday cake.

We went to the bunny park a couple of times; once with Grandma and Grandpa and once in the rain with Mason and Cordy. Saw and fed lots of bunnies.

Isobel had an ingrown toenail so Jon took her to see the doctor. Our normal doctor was away, but Dr Kwong said that Isobel was very articulate.

We had a visit with Great Gran while she was down for an appointment from Bella Coola.

We went to Strawberry Tea at London Heritage Farm with Grandma and Grandpa.

It was rainy on Canada Day and we took Isobel to her first movie at a theatre "Brave". She enjoyed it although did find parts a bit scary.

In this month's photo, Isobel is wearing a dress made by Mommy and Grandma. My mom bought me a sewing machine and was showing me the basics, so had me to some of the sewing on the dress.

Grandma and Grandpa bought Isobel her early birthday and Christmas present - a new foam mattress for her bed and she had been using my old one which was getting terrible.
