Summer, 2011-12

All these are from Feb so far. I'm getting slack with sorting and uploading again, I know :)

Under one of the trees at the school where we go to Play Group.

Feeding an orphan lamb

Bottlefed lambs are like puppies. Jasmine played with him so much... I was relieved he survived!

What other colors do you need if you have pink?

Modeling a rainbow hat

Licking the butter a-la Auntie Kelly :D

This Summer
-she has taken up skipping, at a rate of about 4 skips a minute.
-she learned to do imaginary (but important) magic. (taps Mummy with a book and states "My pink fairy book can sparkle you up pretty and pink")
-Had her 3.5y checkup and weighed 19.6kg and measured 107cm (>97th percentile for both)
-is always hungry!
-Can count well and learns a lot from Playschool and Sesame Street, etc.
-Picks up random things easily, like the words to songs from Oklahoma or dance moves from Hairspray
-Has a multitude of imaginary friends (mainly characters from cartoons, like Buzz and Diego)
-Also makes up imaginary friends ("I like sparkley pink horses, Mum. I'm going to ride on mine all day!")
-Also makes friends with anybody and everybody who will talk to her, and professes her love for all. Even her brothers.
-Cried a lot when we had to leave Byron crying at Kinder :)

She's a soft-hearted, affection-filled, girly girl. She's smart, and a little stubborn. She doesn't need much more punishment than a stern word (because that seems to hurt plenty). Mummy thinks she might grow up to be an actress. Jasmine's main ambition is to own a big pink crane.

August and Spring 2011

Wearing her supersized rainbow scarf

Enjoying some Winter sun

Her "I'm a pink pussy cat" phase becomes reality at Play Group :)

Sick day. Fell asleep on the couch.

Doesn't much like having her hair tied up, so she holds it back like this a lot.

Spent a good 5 minutes sideways on her chair, reading this fascinating realestate junk mail.

Fairy picnic. Another Playing Fair favorite.

Loving purple this month, though she swears her favorite is still pink

She loved this little frog Daddy caught for her, and was sad to let it go at the end of the day.

New haircut and a lollypop :)

First attempt ever at peeling a potato. It took a few minutes, but she did a great job.

August, September, October, November

To Zachary: Sweetheart!

Jasmine (putting on Pullups): Mummy, I did it! I've got a new bottom... a pink one!

J: Maybe tomorrow, when I'm a grown up.

J: "Last year..." (meaning "the other day")

J: "When I was a grown up..." (meaning when she grows up)

(wakes up crying) I want my daddy!!

(on her dirty fingers): My fingers are GaDucksing!

J: Don't say "no", Mummy; say, "Not yet, my dear."

Calls bare feet "feet shoes"

Jasmine: I'm NOT contrary!

Frequently talks about herself in the third person, as "your pink baby". "Mummy, your pink baby is sleeping in my bed!"

Sent a handprint to Kathyn, the girl she picked to sponsor (through World Vision) in Nicaragua.
