India has been thriving as well. As always she is full of energy, movement and chatter.

There has been many new and exciting things to experience at school, and it's hard to believe we have survived nearly a complete year there. Next week is school athletics carnavil, and India is very excited. She's been practicing running races in the back yard with Daddy this last week, totally inspired by the Olympics.

Swimming lessons are once again on the favourites list. I'm really proud of how she battled through her fears to get back to this point. She's progressing well now. Her mantra each friday morning is "heart of a lion" and the olympics have really inspired her to put in her best each week. She was VERY thrilled to have witnessed Stephanie Rice win her gold medals.

What she loves to do?
*eat
*play games
*watch movies
*play games
*joke and trick
*talk and sing
*go to parties (any boy, we've had plenty of those this year)

She's growing quite tall.

But the real excitement of the month is......a loose tooth!!

Though it's taken some time to convince me that it is actually loose, but yes, today, I could feel the tiniest of wobbles on that little baby tooth. She's been waiting a long time for this day...lol.

India is also becoming quite excited that summer is approaching. She did feel the same when spring was approaching but now that it's here I think she's found it a little overrated...it still gets dark early, its still cold and still regular rain. But now the excitement is for summer....longer days, warmer weather....means more time for PLAY! Plus summer holidays has Christmas thrown in the middle of it. What more can you say?

We've done a little spring shopping. There is an ever present need to get new shoes for India, as it is quite difficult to find something that fits her long slender feet. We were successful today, not once but three times. She would love me to show off a photo, so here is one pair of her new shoe wardrobe.
