Little Girl

I have to share about Little Girl. She is just sooo squishously cute these days. She loves books of all sorts and sits down at 18 months old and turns the pages carefully and looks at them. She is mischievous and funny. She climbs into anything she can see and squishes into anything she can. She is determined and if she sees you putting down something she is not allowed to have she comes stompin' charging across the floor on her chubby little legs to get that item before you have a chance to pick it up. She is a problem solver and if she can't get something, she is likely to pull a chair up to it to try to get it or to find some other method that you hadn't thought of. She is just too darned smart for MY own good. She is so happy and bubbly that just being near her puts me in a good mood. She is very very precious and at times seems old beyond her years (or rather her year and a half LOL).

Sisters

One thing I am really loving lately is the relationship that has developed between my two oldest girls. They are so cute playing together, eating together, and even watching cartoons together. It is really sweet. They adore each other and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Little Girl

Have I mentioned how much Little Girl adores her Grandfather? It is so cute. She sees Grandpa coming and she comes running, pushing past any other visitors who may be there. She only has eyes for him. She sees him in the yard and she stands at the window watching, calling out to him, and waving.

Here are some pics of her excitedly looking out the window at her Grandfather (you can't tell, but she is yelling out to him here):

Cabin in the Woods

Have I described (what could be loosely described as) my neighborhood to you? Well let me do so now. My backyard has a balcony, a shed, a firepit and a forest . . . yes a forest! My front yard has at least a dozen trees and across the road is more trees. I have a neighbor on one side and a neighbor across the street and then no one for as far as you can see on my other side. There are about 5 houses that I can see from the end of my driveway and that is it. My house had wooden siding and it really feels like I am living in a cabin in the woods. I LOVE it. I love looking out at the snow on the trees (as long as I am nice and warm inside). I love the idea of my kids being so far from everyone as they play.

Big Girl Ambitions

Big Girl, Daddy and I were watching a movie and it inspired a discussion about how the girl's mother was wrong and she should let her daughter grow up to be whatever she wants to be when she grows up. We said that girls can like whatever they want to and if they like cars they can grow up to be mechanics or race car drivers and if they want to like Princess's and Dolly's that is okay too. Big Girl declared that she loved singing so she was going to grow up and be a singer . . . well that and a doctor. Hmmm . . . the world's first singing doctor . . . sounds good. I think I can go along with that. LOL
