Hazel Turned 4

 Hazel has really grown up a lot this year.  She is becoming more of a helper.  She likes to help out with Niels by holding him or keeping his pacifier in.  She also helps Hattie a lot too. Sometimes at night she sings songs to Hattie so she won't cry when I leave the room (only on nights when Hazel isn't crying herself).  She is very excited to start preschool this Fall, and loves to play with her friends.  She really likes meeting new kids.  She always seems to make new friends at the pool and the park.  I did a little questionnaire with Hazel and these were her answers. 

1. What is your favorite color?  Pink
2. What is your favorite toy?  Snowie (her stuffed dog)
3. What is your favorite fruit? Pineapple  
4. What is your favorite TV show?  Curious George
5. What is your favorite thing to eat for lunch?  Watermelon and cheese and crackers
6. What is your favorite outfit?  The shirt Dad bought me

 Hazel requested a chocolate cake this year, and I made a salted chocolate buttercream to go with it. I thought it tasted pretty good, but of course you can't eat very much or you feel sick.  The other day we were at the grocery store and she saw some of those neon frosting cakes with characters on them and told me she wanted one of those next year.  Maybe I'll have to start getting creative without compromising the taste.

Hazel loves to watch Doc McStuffins, so she really enjoyed getting a doctor kit. She can now do her own check ups.
