Little Girl on the Porch...turns six


She is fascinated with Laura Ingalls right now. She walks around saying "I want to MEET Laura Ingalls!!" and has created a whole Ingalls family out of her Fisher Price Loving Family people. Her Little Party in the Backyard was a sweet and simple success.

She is goofy and silly but not often in front of an audience. She says she is an artist. I believe her. She is a treasure hunter and a bit of a hoarder. "Can I keep this?" is one of her most-commonly used phrases (usually while holding up a rock, stick, receipt, old photograph, or some odd piece of trash. It is adorable.) She has many, many, many little boxes, bags, and random containers in which these treasures are stashed, and life is a regular roller coaster of "losing" and "finding" things again.

She is a very good student and well behaved in school (and yes, a little proud of it.) Her stubbornness is Olympian, but she does it so quietly you might not notice right away. And oh what a snuggler! She loves her one-on-one time. And she loves her alone time. But she always says her favorite thing to do is play with her sister.

Amelia Margaret--six years old. How we love you.
