Little Miss Bean, July 8 2007. 3-1/2 years old, spunky, and diabolical. She can’t dance unless she’s wearing her “Princess Dress”. She can’t walk in the rain without an umbrella. She has more shoes than I do. She can do everything all by herself.

Today’s favorites:

TV: Scooby Doo (original series on DVD)
Movie: Wallace & Gromit, Winnie the Pooh Singalong
Music: Bella Dancerella’s Dance Like A Princess DVD
Food: Mac & Cheese, of course
Pastime: Organizing her “haircups” (barettes); Play-Doh; cars
Character: The Little Mermaid, Ariel

Mommy’s Favorites:

1. The way Ellie says “I love you so much, Mommy” when she’s falling asleep.
2. Putting “piggertails” in her hair for her, because I’m the only one that can do it right.
3. That smile.
4. High-fives.
5. Her strange taste in clothes.
6. The drawing she made for me ON MY WOODEN CLOGS
7. Those chubby little fingers.
8. When she sleeps, she looks the same today as she did when she was an infant. I wish I could bottle that up and keep it forever.
