I just added some pics from today (3/16) --- Taylor's birthday celebration was today - at her school, The Children's House in Ocean Springs. When we first signed Tay up for this school and I attended the parents night...to give new parents an idea of what a Montessori school was all about - I never dreamed it would be THIS awesome. This school is wonderful and the teachers are just awesome. And Tay's b'day celebration was so special today....everything was perfect....everything. :-) [thank you Ms. MaryAnn, Ms. Peggy, Ms. Aurora, Ms. Rhonda and Ms.Paula!!] Here are a couple videos from today and of course, some pics too. Our Tay will be 5 tomorrow (St. Patties Day) - time flies. It just goes soooo fast.

Tay did that a total of 5 times, after Mrs. MaryAnn read each "year" from Taylor's big book! (i just watched this again, and saw MaryAnn totally pull up Taylors pants all discreetly and I busted up laughin!!!! LOL)
enlarge 5.24MB, 640x480 Download MPEG 101 This was cute... after they sang Happy Birthday to Taylor, they do soft "hip, hip, hoorays" until they get to her age now.
