As she enters her fiftyfirst month on Planet Earth, our little clown gets to celebrate Mardi Gras and walk in a parade with her school. Her mom is moved to tears at the sight of her little Moon Lady!

It is high time again for a play date with Iris at Chimpie Champ. The two girls enjoy seeing each other again and posing for their proud moms (row below). Indeed, play dates are a new thing in Luna's life. How quickly she suddenly seems to be growing up!

When papa, Lenneke, and Aafke come over, Luna gets to go to the petting zoo with them (row above). She loves to hang out on the playground with her little brother (left and right, top). The two also go down the slide together and pose on the cow (left and right, middle). Luna decides not to cooperate when her mom asks her to smile while sitting on the cow. She makes up for this on the slide and the swing (left and right, bottom). Luna loves going to the petting zoo, if only because she gets to have a small bag of chips each visit.

Hip, Hip, Hurray! It is mom's birthday! This means that Ome Arno comes over and takes a few pictures with mom's camera.

The result is a beautiful fairy queen looking out the window to see who else is coming over for the birthday celebration.

Hip, Hip, Hurray!
Fifty-one months old!

Luna spends her fiftyfirst Month Day playing in the garden with some friends from school, Marijn (row below, left) and Sam (row below, middle). One of the best things about school as far as Luna is concerned is that she gets to have play dates with her friends (row below, right). Every time she gets out of school, she is busy organizing her busy social schedule.
