Birthday parties galore

There has been a birthday party for one of Sasha's friends pretty much every weekend. We haven't gone to all of them for one reason or another (study circles, being sick, etc.) But here are some pics from the last two she went to.

I also included pictures from two new games Sasha has learned: The card game, "Go Fish" and the board game "Guess Who". She plays them really well!

Here she is at the birthday party today trying to help this little boy fix his mask... (or maybe breaking it!):



Being incredibly gentle with this little baby... she was that little baby not too long ago... I can't believe how quickly she's growing:



Thoroughly enjoying her homemade birthday cupcake (what a great idea!)



Playing Go Fish:



Drawing with her stamps. I love these close-up shots of her focusing:





At another birthday party where they painted little ceramic figures:




Spaced out, waiting for the paint:




Caring for her baby (she's anxious to have a little baby brother or sister - We'll be continuing the adoption process once we move to Houston. We would have had to pay extra money for a home study here in Boston, and another one in Houston. So we're waiting to do it all at once after we move. But we talk about it often, and she knows pretty much how the whole thing works!).

All these games are so clever and really promote independent thought analysis. Another game she might love is "Old Maid". They probably sell it in smaller cards, too.

Did she lose all her curls when you cut her hair?
