Today Aida turns 5 years old! It’s hard to believe my princess is growing up so fast.

I won this poncho off of the Musings of A Home Engineer’s blog. Kristina knit this and it is beautiful. Considering it was made for a girl ages 2-4, I decided to give up my prize. It looks much better on Aida. She loves her new poncho.

So thanks Kristina! We love it!

Aida turns 4 on Wednesday (Oct 3rd) and for her birthday she went and got her ears pierced today. She thinks she’s a big shot now!

Yesterday, the kids (James and Aida) had “Superhero Night” for AWANA at our church. James immediately knew that he’d be Superman because he love Superman and we have some old Super pajamas. After this, Aida announces that she’s Wonder Woman and that we need to find a costume for her. So we rummage through all of our stuff looking for things to go. We found a crown (princess tiara), a golden belt (no idea where this came from) and the lasso of truth (or a rope from the garage).

We dress her up, along with her mother’s Wonder Woman t-shirt, and are ready to go. But Aida halts, and announces that something’s missing! I ask her, ”what else?” And she responds, ”I need boobs! Wonder Woman has boobs!”  We laughed for a while and then shuffled her off to Awana (sans the boobs).

Ahh, this from the mouth of a three year old!
