She

SHE...

 is silly

 and effortlessly happy

 loves her aunt halley

 and playing guess who with her mom after her brother leaves for school

 loves her brother and bubble baths

 is such a helper (ringing the dinner bell for the boys this summer)

 loves her mom and her dad (but especially her dad)

 sleeps with her brother almost every single night

is getting so tall

loves to color

 loves the kitties Nigel (above) and Simba (below) -- they're going to be barn kitties, er barn cats, i guess i should call them :)

 loves to pretend the kitties are babies

loves painted nails and convinced me to paint mine for the first time in twelve years

 is a free spirit, not afraid to walk her own road

loves her stuffed animals, sleeps with several, has names for each.

isn't feeling well today and is all snuggled up to me, just like this.    

she is my little lady.  my lovey love.  my heart.
