40 Months! (April 2018)

This is the first year that Vivien has really gotten Easter, so it was extra fun on Easter morning.  To make sure that it was fair, the Easter bunny put each kids treats in certain color eggs, so that each kid was only collecting certain colors.  This year Vivi was running around looking for eggs just as much as Ryder, although she did still want to stop and see what was in them.  She got treats and toys in her eggs and then the Easter bunny brought her gardening tools and some seeds, which we planted later that day and she took care of until they bloomed.

Vivi has to get her curls brushed out before school because her hair gets so tangled at night.  She doesn't like it that much, but she lets me do it, so I guess it's not that bad.  This month she has been asking me to braid her hair, which is a change since she never wanted it pulled up at all.  She looks cute with her two tiny braids!

Vivi likes to change her clothes a lot and she has just started getting into the dress-up stuff with Ryder this past Winter.  She has a firefighter costume, a pirate costume and several princess costumes that are hand-me-downs from Emma.  She loves to go through multiple costumes or outfits in a day.  Lately she has also been very into wearing dresses.  Vivi asked for a new dress, so I pulled out some Little Mermaid fabric that I had bought years ago before I even had kids just because the Little Mermaid is my favorite.  I got out my patterns and let her choose one and whipped her up a twirly Little Mermaid dress that she has worn constantly! 

Vivi still loves to do art and craft type activities, even though Ryder doesn't always want to join us.  Over April vacation we did a couple of small projects that went with books that we were reading, which Vivi was very excited about.  To go along with The Day the Crayons Left, we melted a bunch of old crayons into a skull mold to make skull shaped crayons.  She carried around those crayons for the rest of vacation.
