The girl and the pony

Julianna had her second horse riding class today...she is in love with Lucy (the 12 year old horse she's been riding).


It is amazing to watch her... every second that she can, she hugs and kisses Lucy.

The class is one hour long and today she was learning how to turn the horse around and how to trot.



She was really proud of herself and always had a huge grin on her face.

Now I need to figure out how much money maintaining her happiness is going to cost me.

Turtleback

Julianna is at her ESS summer camp at her new school. I was really worried how she was going to adapt to the new school since she was doing so good at Del Sur. I freaked out a few times thinking I made the biggest mistake by changing her school.
I went to get Julianna earlier at school (since I spent the whole day at home with Alessanda ) and when I got there, Julianna was surrounded by her new friends and they were all asking for my phone number so they could have a playdate with her.

Julianna is a very loving and fun kid; she is very caring and always makes sure not too hurt someone else's feelings. I always tell her that she needs to be strong and less sensitive...Julianna gets her feelings hurt very easily. I am very lucky to have this amazing little girl ....I love you Jules

I am three right now?

Alessandra birthday was on the first of June but the b-day party was on June 11the...this difference between the days caused her a great deal of confusion.

We were in the car, full of cupcakes, when I asked Alessandra how old was she...she looked at me and said without even thinking twice that she was 2.

I looked at her and said ...no Alessandra, you are three years old today.

Her answer was, "What ? I am three right now?"


After my afirmative answer, she looked with half of a smile and said "Wow !!!"

Don't grow too fast little girl, you are still my little baby :)

Hero Scape

Ok... let’s talk about Heroscape
This is Jason's favorite game and one of the games that I DON'T like to play. I am not sure why I don’t like it... I don’t know if it is the massive scenario that intimidates me or the commitment that takes to play the game...
Anyways, Jason started to explain the game to Julianna.
Julianna feels very important and very proud to be playing this very complex game with Daddy. Every now and then, her 5 year old mind takes over and she wants to make sure her fairy team looks cute :-)
After a "great " battle her dragon dies and after listening to Jason's graphic explanation on how she was stabbed buy the enemy, she looked up at Jason and started to cry and calling "Mommy!"
I know Jason can't wait for her to grow up and understand that it is okay to lose but I like just the way she is right now ... with her innocent mind knowing that mommy will make everything better.

Me Beg you momy

OMG ... they are soo cute ..I dont want them to grow up. I wish the time could freeze and these two little angels would be that age forever.
The new one of Alessadra trying to copy her big sister is - "Me beg you Mommy!"

She says that for anything and it is so cute that I can't resist ... and she always gets what she wants.

Orlando

My sister and her family were going to Orlando and since it was the only chance to see them this year, I decided to purchase 3 tickets and go visit her. No be able to stay longer, I decided to go for 4 days.
The airplane ride there was good. After 2 movies, a lot of phone games, coloring and enough candy to make any kid happy ( and over excited) we arrived in Orlando. Julianna was the best helper and good big sister I could hope for. Julianna was able to help me with the luggage, elevator doors and most of all, entertain her little sister.

We had a great time but too tired to tell everything we did.
