When Nadia was about 2 1/2 she developed a fascination with the Michelin Man. For her 3rd birthday Mike was able to find a stuffed Michelin Man and Michelin Dog that we gave her at her birthday party. A few weeks ago I went out to run a few errands and I saw the Grand Opening of a motorcycle shop by our house and told Mike he should take Nadia for a surprise.
“The Matrix Michelin Man”
Happy Girl!
Then Nadia wanted to take a photo of Daddy. Good job, huh?
I have been seeing mention of this book and challenge for the month of May on many blogs I read/people I follow on Twitter. I read some reviews and finally decided I would buy the ebook. From what I can tell it’s a cross between a devotional for moms and cleaning challenge. I have only read through the first few days since it’s late, but I will be a part of the link up each Friday. Then I will have a better review to give on the book. Her little cleaning things at the end of each page seem like something any mom could squeeze into the day. They also appear to be things that I don’t usually do – like clean the inside of your kitchen windows.
So I am interested to see how it goes and it’s fun to see hundreds of women across the web doing this together. I will report back Friday to let you know how the week went.
The week before Easter the Chinese Language school that Nadia goes to had an Easter Egg hunt. Before the hunt they had class and made a rabbit craft. Miss Elaine told us that Nadia finished hers so fast that she helped Miss Elaine help all the other children make their rabbits. I knew all those crafts we do would pay off.
Right before the egg hunt – Nadia was freaked out and didn’t want to do it. (Click photo to see the whole album)

Now she’s excited.
Nadia’s class after the hunt.
They had an adult contest for picking up jelly belly’s with chop sticks. I found I was really fast doing this and now I think I should eat all bites of Chinese food smaller to actually be able to pick them up. It was a fun little time.
