Growing
See this cute adorable face.
It is growing up. By the calendar she is four nearly five which means her confidence is growing just as much as she is. In the last few months I have seen her crack away her shell and since this post, she has been talking more and more in uncomfortable situations. Such as, the dentist yesterday. She actually talked to both the hygientist and the dentist. Saying hi, answering their questions, joking with them and saying good bye. Sweet! Which since I mentioned the dentist, update, my kids no longer have perfect dental records. The both have cavities. Yikes! Doc said they have small mouths and even though they look to be brushing well they need to floss daily to get in between those tight spots. So not looking forward to the day of the fillings. I will keep you posted.
So back to little girl. Over the last few months I have been noticing an awareness of others and their opinions. When picking out a dress for church she will ask, "Do you think Abbey will like this?" Or her hair, "Do you think Daddy will think I am beautiful?" Well of course he will and if he doesn't, I may kick him. AND then there is Isabell. Who recently got her hair cut and my dear sweet little girl wanted her hair to be JUST like hers. So with her hair needing to be cut it was time to decide how it would be cut. The mother within me wanted it to be shoulder length, preserving her beautiful curls. But also preserving her own identity. In the end I let her make her own decision. Perhaps a first. She chose the chin length cut like Isabell's.
Here is before- the back.
The opening picture is just before, from the front.
During-
After-
She looks so much older to me. I must admit it is very cute on her. And I think she is beautiful.
This whole hair cut thing just reminds me even more how much she is growing up. Insert deep sigh. And how each phase of this life is precious.
I love you sweet girl! Always and forever!

Olympic Pup
The dog found an old hole yesterday and begin digging feverishly. My friend stated, "It looks like she's digging to China."
Little girl replied, "Yeah, maybe to Beijing!"

Bestest Ever
While eating breakfast this morning...
DD: Today is the bestest day ever!
ME: Why is that?
DD: Because Daddy is coming home and that makes it the bestest ever.
I agree that makes for a very good day indeed.

Garage Sale Savy
Little girl went to garage sales with my mother, today. At one stop, my daughter picked up a doll deciding whether or not to buy it. She had brought her own money so each purchase was carefully pondered. The doll was priced $2. My dear sweet daughter looked at the lady running the sale and said, "Don't people know kids only get allowance?"
The lady smiled, knelt down and whispered in her ear, "For you , I can take a dollar."
It was a deal.

Imagine the Divorce Rate
Little girl came to me with her princess dress.
"Mom can you help me put it on, I want to get married today."
I help her with the dress and she goes about playing.
45 minutes later she comes back.
"Mom can you help me take this off, I am DONE being married."
I suppressed a laugh, could not withhold the smile. I went on to explain to her that when she really gets married she can't just take off the dress and not be married anymore.
"I know Mom, I'm just pretending."

A Date with My Daughter
After church yesterday, Dad and son went one way while daughter and I went another.
My camera was left behind so I will try to recount some of the moments here.
We left church and had a few minutes before McD's would be serving lunch. So we went a mile away to see some horses with their fillies. The babies were so cute with their knobby knees. They were running and kicking all over the place. There was one that was so tiny it had to be only a couple days old, if that. We walked around the horse farm visiting the pregnant mommas, the daddies (one was very jealous and wanted all of our attention for himself) and then back around to the babies.
At McDonald's we both got a ranch chicken snack wrap to go. Passing back by the horse farm there was a huge group of horses we had not seen the first time. Little girl said "Look they're having family time!"
Next it was off to the Children's Garden, where we ate out picnic lunch on tot sized tables. Little girl loved this. Then we explored the gardens. While there was not much by way of flowers there was plenty to see. We had fun in the Maze and stomped on the chimes to make "beautiful" music. The real reason I wanted to go to the gardens was the butterflies. I had posted a couple of weeks ago about wanting to go to the Meijer gardens in GR but never went. And since I did not have much of a response for others wanting to go with I decided I would stay local and check out the butterflies here for FREE! I was very thankful to find that we had not missed them. There were many butterflies flitting all about us. Chrysalis awaiting their immersion and some butterflies that were still drying their wings as they had just emerged. We found eggs and caterpillars, bananas and tree frogs. I had a few butterflies that would stay on my finger. DD thought she wanted to hold one but as the opportunity presented itself she declined, when it was on her shirt she wanted it off IMMEDIATELY. Little girl and I had so much fun with the butterflies we decided to come back again today with my son and nephew. They thought it was pretty cool too. They both learned quickly how to get the butterflies on the ends on their fingers and learned the trick for keeping them there (dipping their fingers in nectar.)
After the butterflies we went back outside and found a pond with some frogs on it. She felt it was her job to call to the frogs, "Ribbet, RIBBET, ribbet" When we would see one she would say, "See it was because I called it."
Since it was a gorgeous day we finished our date off with two ice cream cones; chocolate and vanilla twists. Delicious.
It was awesome spending one on one time with her. We talked about what made her happy, what made her sad and things that made her giggle (trains, take note Uncle G), what made her feel loved, we said I love you more times then I could count. We had such a grand time, just girls no boys. I even got a "Thank you mommy for our date." How sweet is that?

Sweet Moment
Tonight for bedtime I was reading the story of Samuel to little girl. In it it was talking about how God talked to Samuel.
She said "Right we pray to God?"
"Yes, does God ever talk to you?"
She nodded her head yes.
"What does he say to you?"
"I love you."
If that is not the sweetest thing. For her to know that God loves her and that He is speaking that over her and she hears it. Precious.
