Bronte 3.9

Apparently she needed whiskers.

Another month has flown by in the end-of-school-year craziness. Bronte is still growing like a little weed, actually hitting a bit above average for height in the growth charts. She's also gotten a lot more--hm, how shall I say?--independent in the past month or so. Nearly every day she decides to try doing something she knows she's not supposed to, like biting chunks of butter or cheese off the block, climbing up to the cabinet where candy is kept & eating her brother's lollipop for breakfast.

She continues to draw & paint most days, mostly on appropriate surfaces. Her taste in dolls has shifted from baby dolls to take care of to Barbie dolls to pretend with. She got attached to a couple of bedraggled knockoff Barbies at a yard sale & they "followed her home". I think we're going to have to get her something a bit better quality though, as these two literally lose heads & limbs on a regular basis.

Mini Micro Footie has gone well & I think we'll enroll her again next year. She's actually quite good at kicking the ball & passing it accurately to another person. I'm thinking of looking for some sort of dance class for her over the winter, since she's so high energy & loves to perform. If you have any suggestions of fun, affordable dance classes for four-year-olds in Vancouver, let me know!
