ANT!

Ever since the snow melted, Marianna tries to get outside at every opportunity. Even though it was a little chilly, we loved the fresh air! However, Marianna has become obsessed with pointing out ants. I think she has picked up a slight fear of them and refused to go down the slide when she thought she saw an ant on it. We kept hearing "oh-no....ANT!" I hope she gets over this quickly as our backyard tends to get a lot of bugs!

When she saw a "ant" on the slide...turned out to be a baby mosquito...

Marinna's favorite song right now is "If you are happy and you know it..." Here's the demo of the hand clapping. I have to get this on video soon as she loves to sing!

AIRPLANE! (she can spot one in the sky anywhere!)

More hand clapping and learning to ride the tricycle...she is almost there!

Looking for ants....

Turning circles until she gets dizzy...currently a favorite pastime...

What a difference a year makes...We were so scared about her and these steps last year, this year she has mastered them and counts every one going down.

Marianna loves to run on the bench...an accident waiting to happen I am sure!
