Swimming Highlights...
I can now go under water.
I can swim.

We made a raft in the sand and we had water from the little pool.

I enjoyed the slide and I really like the lifeguards and teachers.

Preschool Part 2
I really like my teacher and her name is Brenda. I Love Brenda.

I like down playground, because we can swing and I like the middle playground so we can jump in the leaves

I like the upper playground because we get to swing.

I really like Art and finger art, where we paint with our fingers and we get to make hand prints.

The Paci and the Wedding
I have not had my paci since Thanksgiving and that is good.

I use paci when I am scared or need something to sleep.

I was in Tony & Lisa's Wedding. Tony and Lisa are my God parents. I was happy. I had fun.

Parental Comments on Mikaela
Mikaela is growing up so fast. After the wedding, we saw her become more self-confident and sure of herself. She is still a strong willed spit fire, but this spunk for life we’re convinced comes from her ability to grasp concepts way beyond her little age. She will turn 4 on 1/1/2000. She loves to write, she wants to learn how to read, she does old workbooks of Kaitlyn’s, she manipulates puzzles, she has a great sense of humor, and she can do anything on the computer. When not on stage she loves to sing and recite poems. Most of the time it is easy to forget that she is only 4 because she is very helpful and loving and so when typical 4 year old tantrums and obstinate behavior rears its ugly head, we are reminded that Mikaela really is a very little girl who needs a lot of guidance! Mikaela’s letting go of her pacifier is a big deal. Every night she would pray that Jesus would either find her pacifier for her or help her
be able to sleep with out it. Now that it has been close to two months, Mikaela can say that Jesus did help her. What a little kid to learn such an important lesson! Mikaela is our middle child who captivates everyone that knows her in such a way that they say she talks more with her beautiful eyes than with her mouth. Even in her pictures people can see that there is going on in that little girl’s mind!
