Life gets serious....

... unbelievable but true: I am going to school now! So it's not fun and games anymore.... lots of new kids, and I hope that at least some of them are nice...

My teacher is an older lady, and she seems to be pretty strict... we are about 12 in the class, but then we are in a class with older kids, so in total we are about 25.... while I am looking forward to knowing a bit more about all the things that they are to learn, I am also a bit afraid. Luckily, my mom doesn't know that I will be crying when she drops me off for the next two weeks :-)

The only good thing is that I am spending my lunch break with Inaki - he's one of my best friends from the creche, though unfortunately he is in a different class.

Any you know what? I am called Lillie Siena at school as there is already a Lily....

In the mountains!

Yeah, the weather is so nice, we simply had to go to the mountains. We couldn't walk that far though - it's already difficult for my mom. But we found a very nice spot for a pick-nick, and played lots with Dakota.

And on the way back, I convinced Papa to go on the slummer sledge with me. Luckily, I had just turned 4, which is the minimum age for the sledge.

Though Papa went to slow - I guess he ket his foot on the break all the time - while I wanted to go as faaaaast as possible - and as often as possible...

Birthday IV

Yet another birthday party - but this time it was the "real" one... At home wi9th my very best friends! It was smaller than last year's, but the reason was to really have fun with the kids I like best - especially since I won't see them that often anymore in the future... :-(

Man on the Moon!

Before flying back home to Germany, we did something rather boring: We went to the Kennedy Space Center... My Papa was quite interested in it, and I guess that he wanted me to experience something else than just princesses... I've got to say that I'd rather went to some other place, though the Space Center became interesting once I saw this big rocket, which was really big!

Disney World & Birthday III

You know where I celebrated my real birthday? At Disney World! That was a present by my Mom and my Papa. We went there early in the morning, and I got a sticker that said that it was my birthday. So lots of people who met me throughout the day wished me a happy birthday! It, however, got quite annoying after a while because Mama and Papa always told me to say "Thanks you", so I took the sticker off...

More importantly, however, was that I got to meet all the Princesses.... I was quite shy to start out with - which is probably not surprising - just think about it: Real princesses! And I got to look like a princess myself: I got make-up, my hair was done, and I selected a dress and shoes. And do you know which princess I wanted to be? Snow White! That was quite a surprise to my Mama as usually Cinderella is my most favorite princess.

We went back to Disney World the next day, and I had breakfast with all the princesses. And because it was my birthday the day before, I received a card with all the autographs of all the princesses. Though I was very tired because of the previous day, and it was very hot to start out with, so Papa had to carry me all day long - and I slept through the fireworks.....

Back at the hotel the next day, I enjoyed the swimming pool, where I met another older girl to play with.

Santa Fe & Birtday II

Wow - I finally saw my grandparents again - and Auntie Heather, and Coco the dog and all the cats! We went to visit them in Santa Fe, which was really exciting.... We did lots of fun things like going to a Children's Museum, the swimming pool, various playgrounds and a fair where you could see how people lived a hundred years ago, and a place where the Indians live a few hundred years ago

I did miss other kids though, and we only met a few from time to time at playgrounds.... I think that I am getting into an age where being with Mom & Papa can be quite boring.... However, it was lots of fun to play dress-up with Grandma and Mom, and then Grandma found all the old Barbies that my Mom played with when she was really young.

But we also had another Birthday party for me - just a day before my birthday!
