Genevieve's first ever horse ride

We went for a pony ride on Genna's birthday to celebrate FOUR!

Her pony was huge!

She has an absolutely AMAZING time and was so brave. A great birthday day :) 

Week 38

38 Weeks 2 Days

On the way to preschool the other day Genna asked me 'Will Jingle come to school with me? or go to work with you?' I explained that I'm taking some time off (YAY for a year off!!) but when Jingle does go to school, around 1 year old, it will be in the baby room at her school. She was pleased with that answer :)

That evening she said 'Dadda, why are you always so tired after work?' He said because Genna, work is very hard and not fun like when you go to school. She replied 'but I get VERY tired at school too, it's hard work too!' lol

Showing off her new outfit from my aunt Denise, not sure why the hand clasping was necessary :)

And a few photos preschool sent me of Genna's 'school party'

She chose Dora decorations for her cupcakes

She was thrilled to be the center of attention - another lovely celebration of turning 4 !!
