My Girl...

Grandma sent you a new fancy dress for dress up, but of course you LOVE it and wear it all the time.

Unless you change it to wear your all time MUST: "a shirtn' skirt".

We got you fancied up with "cullers" and took pictures.

 

 

 You remind me of Lauren soooooo much!  She was VERY particular about what she wore as well.  I can't decide if she was as particular as you, but I think so.  Another particularity you have is TUCKING IN your shirts!  Whew, man, not my favorite style, but there is NO persuading you otherwise.  Grandma also sent you 3 new shirts and you immediately wanted me to get your 3 skirts (which range in size 18 months to 2T, but they are all you'll wear so I haven't taken them out of your closet yet) to decide which one would go with which skirt.

My little fashionista!

Nice Job!!

And your apparel choices go beyond yourself.  Poor Moby has fallen victim as of late.

And she loves it....not really.

 She needed.....a hat, of course.

I wonder why Moby keeps running away?

Seriously kid, you are THE BEST!

You love Moby!!  Even though she isn't all that playful, you do snuggle her when you can.  She is very patient with you I must admit.

And my favorite moment of you lately is 2 weeks ago when I went to visit Dad in Portland.  I left you and your sibs with The Ahlstrom Family.  I haven't ever left you guys like that, this was everyones first time and you were only 3!  Obviously I hadn't done that with Julia or Lauren and it wouldn't have been even thinkable, so I was so proud of you for totally being able to handle it, no doubt in thanks to having your 2nd moms by your side.  Anyway you did great and we didn't really talk on the phone because one time you just cried and it killed me.  You talked to Dad the other times and were fine.  I couldn't wait to get back to you.  So Sunday morning when I got home I went straight to church to let you guys know I was back.  I went into your nursery and you were eating fishy crackers, I came up behind you and you turned around and JUMPED out of your chair and said, "MOMMY!!!!" and I scooped you up and you squeezed me so tight!  I just held you like that for the longest time.  You gave no signal to put you down and it felt WONDERFUL!  I know you love me, but in that moment man, I felt it ALL.  You're my gurl.  Looove loooove loooove YOU!!!
