School Days

We've started to realize, GULP, that our baby girl isn't quite a baby any longer.  Not only is she 4 (and a half!, as we are constantly reminded), but she is starting to do big girl things.  For instance, she started preschool yesterday, and she looks so much older with her newly shorn hair. 


While she is still enthralled with cartoons, she's also becoming a kindred spirit in her taste of movies. Our proof is her new obsession with Anne of Green Gables and White Christmas.  (The latter may have something to do with the singing sisters and their "bootiful" dresses).  I've also started reading the Little House on the Prairie books to her, and it's amazing how smoothly the morning routine runs with the promise of a chapter reading if chores are done on time.  Furthermore, she is really starting to enjoy playing with Lucas and Cody, and not just playing with their toys!
Not to worry, however, there is still plenty of that goofy girl-i-ness that we know and love.  I'm not sure that we'll ever get her out of the dress up stage ("Mirror, Mirror on the wall" anyone?),
and she is always ready for a snuggle with any of her beloved grandparents.
Either way, she remains a happy, go-lucky little girl with a ready smile, a loony laugh and an enviable zest for life.
