easy to please

There's my sweet girl at her preschool Sock Hop. You were thrilled to wear head to toe pink and a full skirt. You danced and hula hooped and had a great time.

I have been shocked at how grown up you seem all of a sudden. You are really starting to have conversations that stem from your own thoughts rather than from something you overheard. We had a serious talk about your feelings today because you were upset with me and it went surprisingly well. It makes me sad and proud at the same time to see you so clearly explain your thoughts and actions.

It also makes me extremely happy to see your huge grin when you've realized that mom and Ben bought you a small box of Jelly beans while you were at school.

Can't wait!

I'm getting ready to come out and see you again! It seems like it has been forever but it has only been since Christmas. I had a great trip over the holidays. I got to see you open your Christmas presents and we went to the zoo and took pictures! You are definitely in a routine at home. You get up and eat your breakfast while watching Dora or some video on the computer. You still love books of course and you love dancing! You have your own camera now and you want to be just like your momma and love to take pictures. You really don't like talking on the phone anymore but you love playing games on the phone. You remind me of a grown up texting on your blackberry!
I can't wait to see the things you are doing now. I hope I can take you to school while I am there. You just went to a sock hop (wore a poodle skirt and everything). I have also heard about the programs you have been involved in. Start making some plans for us. I will be there in late March. Hopefully the cherry trees will be blooming!
I love you,
Grama

Why

Eve watching me go to the bathroom, "Daddy, why do you stretch your penis?"
Me, "Because I want to get all of the peepee out."
"I don't have a penis do I?"
"That's right, sweetie."
"But Ben does."
"That's right."
