my schedule got kinda mixed up this week, i was going to post something else but had to bump it. so here's my stand in till then. funny story to go with her cute picture :)
today she had a playdate with a new friend. when new friend said that she lived in a tall apartment building with lots of floors and doors, elsie squealed, like at the PLAZA HOTEL, like Eloise?! :) Wooooow! :) it's not the plaza hotel, or nearly close, but our little girl is one who sees the glass half full quite often. i absolutely cherish that little bit about her! i'm not saying she's like that all the time, she tells it like it is too. when told she needs to wait, she says, i hate waiting.
she's almost 5. and is "so nervous" for kindergarten. when taken to Stats recently for the first time, she said, this is better than disneyland!!! and has asked to go visit more than once. she is the queen of winter wonderland and is quite disappointed we haven't put our lights up yet. :) she is into this little thing where she says, "i love you more than_____" recently it was cupcakes and candy and puppies. i'm flattered :)
those yellow trees behind her are now bare... all year we can't wait for the leaves to change and when they finally do their presence is fleeting. kinda reminds me of parenting. :(
my niece says the same thing to me - "i love you more than petite vanilla scones..." now that's love!
love all your posts - they make me feel so warm inside!

I love the "I love you more than...." I say it back too, and somedays I say spinach, other days it's a chocolate chip cookie.

So sweet. My 4-year-old daughter came home from her grandma's yesterday, saw the presents I had wrapped under the tree, and said, "I love you even MORE now!"
