We are now 2!

Where did the month of September go!  I always consider September, my New Years, more so than January 1st.  I love the start of school, the start of new recreation programs, new clothes, the colours of fall and everything else that comes with the start of a new school year.  Seems funny when the kids aren't even in school yet and Jonas' preschool goes all year round so it wasn't a change for him either.  And now we can include Nadia's Birthday as part of the highlights of September and why I love it so much! We were so lucky to have Auntie Drea and Uncle Ryan come and celebrate a few days earlier.  We filled the Birthday girls' day with a playdate with a little friend, the park, feeding the ducks, dinner at her favorite restaurant ( Wendy's) ...hopefully her tastes improve as she gets older! And then back home for presents and cake.  Jonas kept wondering when the kids were all coming for the party ( typical 4 year old who know how kids parties work!) However, Nadia was happy having her family around her and opening presents and eating cake!  Probably won't be able to get away with it next year.
In the last few weeks her vocabulary has exploded! She loves to be social but does kind of prefer the company of her older girlfriends than those her own age!  It's amazing to see the differences between her and Jonas.  Nadia loves to be artistic, spending her time colouring at her table and singing.  She is still loving the A B C's and Happy Birthday ( although refused to include her name in part of the song til her actual Birthday)  She has now also stopped using her soother, otherwise known as her "pita"!  It took a few weeks for her to stop asking for it at sleep time but I think we've finally kicked that habit!
So excited to see what this next year will bring for Nadia and our family! And yes, just like on New Years Day....i have some new years ( September) resolutions!
