Graduation - St Bernadette TK Presentation "I am a promise"

I am a promise, I am a possibility
I am a promise with a capital "P"
I am a great big bundle of potentiality
And I am learnin' to hear God's voice
And I am tryin' to make the right choice
I am a promise to be anything God wants me to be.

I can go anywhere that He wants me to go
I can be anything He wants me to be
I can climb the high mountains I can cross the wide sea
I'm a great big promise you see!

I am a promise, I am a possibility
I am a promise with a capital "P"
I am a great big bundle of potentiality
And I am learnin' to hear God's voice
And I am tryin' to make the right choice
I'm a promise to be anything God wants me to be
Anything God wants me to be!

StoryLand May 2011

We went to Storyland for 2 days (Sat and Sun). Sat night we meet up with the Pelletier's who were also on vacation in North Conway. The girls were so excited to see Sarah. The drive up was very easy, the kids did great. Alessandra tried everything to negociate another night. We drove home Sunday night, the girls and I slept the whole way home.

No training wheel on the big bike

Last year alessandra learned to ride the bike with our the training wheel. Since then she got a bigger bike and the other day she asked to remove the training wheel. She did not forget from last year. Sofia likes being safe so for now she is very happy riding with the training wheel.

Alessandra's Piano Recital

Sofia was supposed to be in this resital too, but she decided she did not want to participate

Other proud moments

The teachers have recently told me stories about Alessandra giving up her turn to Sofia because Sofia was upset. Also at FTK Sofia gave up her FTK money so Alessandra could get what she had set out in layaway a few months ago.

I am a lucky mama, I learn something from you every day!

Praud Mama

Sofia and Alessandra have been saving for several months to buy an American Girl doll. We keep a sheet were daily they can earn stars for good behaviors and doing their chores (make their beds, getting ready on time in the morning, respecting, etc...). They earn a quarter for each star every day. Yesterday I told them to count their money because we were going to the AG store and they could buy something for themselves. Sofia has $75 and Alessandra $67. I told them they could not afford the doll, but they could buy something else. At the store both girls were very excited looking and choosing what to buy. Right before we were ready to go pay for their selections, Sofia grabs a doll and asks me if she could please buy a doll. I explained to her that she did not have enough money to buy the doll but she could get the other accessories and toys she had picked out. Alessandra looks at her money, then takes a good look at the toys she selected then gives Sofia her money and says: "Here Sofia, you can take my money an put it together with yours so you can buy a doll for you." I could not believe Alessandra was willing to give up on her own money so Sofia could have a doll. So, I ended up buying both girls an American Girl doll. I love you both and I am so proud of being your mom!

PS: I did not want them to have an AG yet, until they were reading and could read the AG books on their own. I have so far read to them Lanie, Kit, Kanani, some of Molly. Alessandra really enjoys, Sofia likes it too is small dosage. I will continue to read to them.

Face paint and a few minutes unsupervised...

During Christmas vacation, Alessandra asked to sign up for skating classes because she wants to pratice until she is a famous skater! Sofia did not want to take the class, but she is always bery excited for open skate time.

Alessandra's Prayer

What can I give Him poor as I am
If I were a shepherd, I would bring Him a Lamb
If I were a wise man, I'd sure do my part
So what can I give Him? I'll give Him my heart


Our Father, Who art in heaven
Hallowed be Thy Name;
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.
