We started out the month with a picture of Sophia in front of the azalea bushes. This is becoming our yearly tradition.
May 1st
Katie came down of one of Steve's reenacting weekends. Katie decided to join him and spend a couple of days in 1760's. She had a blast dressing up and working around the camp. She had so much fun she plans on joining him again.
Sophia had her turn a few weeks later when she went on a day trip re-enacting with BaBa.

This year......
Last year (2009).....
Two years ago (2008)....
May 2 was a BIG day. We went to visit Thomas the Tank Engine at the train museum. Sophia took this day seriously. She began to plan her outfit days in advance. She had to look good after all. She tried on dress after dress until she decided on the perfect dress. She was so excited to see Thomas and Sir Topham Hatt. The smile on her face and joy in her voice was amazing.
Sophia had her dance recital on May 7. She did a fantastic job. I was worried that she wouldn't let me put her hair up in a bun or put on her make-up but she did fine. She did a super job on stage. She was one of the few kids in her class that actually did most of the dance. She was in her element, shining on stage.
We started our vegetable garden and then had a cold snap. Thankfully all the plants made it. The fence BaBa added this year is keeping the dogs out of the garden and the plants alive. I love gardening. I wish I had more time to do it.

Sophia had her turn a few weeks later when she went on a day trip re-enacting with BaBa. After getting all dressed up for Thomas, Sophia must have decided it was fun to wear dresses. She has all her dressed hanging up on her bed rail now. Every day she picks a new dress to wear. I think she has worn only dresses every day this month.
We went to the zoo and farm a few times this month. It was a month packed with all fun things.
