Thomas Event
































Kenzie, your friend, Xander, introduced you to Thomas when you were about one. Every time you had a play date together or when we had family outings together, he always had his Thomas trains with him. Then, on Easter 2007, you got your very own Thomas Easter themed train. Ever since then you have treasured your trains just like Xander and really enjoy playing with them very much. When we heard about the Thomas event we immediately thought to take you. You really enjoyed every minute of it, sweet girl!

Earth Day















                            Kenzie, you and your sister are future caretakers of our planet. At school you learned about the importance of Earth Day and at home Mommy and Daddy will continue to teach you how important it is to do the below. These actions will help you understand what you can do to prevent the environment from suffering future damage.
                            Preserving this precious earth for you, your little sister, and future generations to come is one of our priorities, Sweetie.

                            • Recycle

                            • Keep lights off when not in the room or at home

                            • Conserve water

                            • Use bags from home at the grocery store

                            • Planting

                            • No littering

                            • Love and respect animals big and small

                            A day in the life of toddler "you"



















                            Kenzie: "I will hide first and you count"
                            Mommy: " Okay (counting), ready or not hear I come. Is Kenzie in here (room-to-room)... Oh, I think I hear something, is anyone in here?"
                            Kenzie: "No, no one is here"

                            "Mommy, the slide at school is only for one person to go down... some of my friends take too long so it is hard to share and then I get timeout."

                            Kenzie: Daddy, I can help you... I know, I know what I can get... the tools!
                            Daddy: "Good girl, okay some of these (tools) are not for little ones so you can hold on to these screws for Daddy and I will show you where to put them once I ask you for them okay?"
                            Kenzie: "Okay, yeah Daddy, teamwork!"

                            Kenzie: "Mommy, can we go to the park?"
                            Mommy: "Yes, maybe after our nap this afternoon"
                            Kenzie: "Yeah! Daddy, Mommy says we are going to the park so you better get some rest!"

                            "Bella, sweetie, are you okay?" (Bella fussing)
                            It's okay, lil sweetie, it's okay, Mommy's here with us"

                            Kenzie: "I'm a butterfly flying through the air... come on Mommy you are the bee... oh, oh, I have a cough"
                            Mommy: "oh, are you okay?"
                            Kenzie: "I'm okay, I think I will fly to see the doctor (flies away and comes back )"
                            Mommy: "hello little butterfly, what did the doctor say?"
                            Kenzie (long pause and then giggles): "he gave me medicine and said no more monkeys jumping on the bed!"

                            Daddy: "Hands up in the air"
                            Kenzie: like you (just) don't care!!"

                            walking in to a room and sees Daddy: "what shak'in' baking?"

                            "Mommy, I'm going to work, wish me a great day and to have fun!"

                            Kenzie: "Daddy, something is stinky... "
                            Daddy: "oh, yeah, what's stinky?"
                            Kenzie: "Um, it's Bella, she's stinky..."

                            Daddy: "we're off..."
                            Kenzie: "...like a herd of turtles!!"

                            Kenzie: "Mommy, are you taking me to school?"
                            Mommy: "No, not today, Sweetie. Would you like me to take you to school?"
                            Kenzie: "No, maybe Daddy should take me and you can come later."


                            Mommy: "Honey, what are you taking to SHOW and SHARE today?"
                            Kenzie: :"Um, I want to take my blue car, but I will put it in my cubby because I don't want my friends to get it"

                            Kenzie: "Mommy, Daddy, where are we going?"
                            Mommy: "We're going to church, Honey, there will be a choir singing and some people will be playing instruments too."
                            Kenzie: "Will my friends be at the show too?"
