First ponytail!First spring breaker! Cousin Anna came down to Nashville for her spring break from Interlochen Center for the Arts in Northern Michigan (where she works). We were so happy to have her and Amelia loved her. Wish I had a picture of them hanging out but I failed to take any at first and then our camera broke...could be a while for new blog photos. The above were taken with Anna's camera. Much fun was had by all, Amelia and Anna bonded, and Anna was able to witness many firsts this past week...
1. First ponytail! Her hair is finally long enough in the back to make the teeniest pony...regardless of it's size, she was so proud of it and she pointed out that she was now like Mommy (who wears her hair in a ponytail almost everyday these days) and Anna, and of course "I-I" (her pal Ivey). I have to admit, I got a little choked up...again.
2. Shoes! Amelia puts her own shoes on now. Somehow she knows which shoe goes on which foot. She even velcros them closed, hops to her feet and then claps for herself.
3. While coloring in a coloring book, Amelia dumped out the contents of her crayon box, (I'm talking the big box of Crayola crayons with colors like "Tumbleweed" and "Mac and Cheese"). I decided to take advantage of the moment by encouraging Amelia to practice taking turns with us putting the crayons away. We each took a turn and as I encouraged Amelia to put another crayon away, she hopped to her feet and walked away declaring "mommy turn!" Hmmm.
Anna left this morning and Amelia is still talking about her. Sad to see her go but her visit kicked of a slew of spring break visitors! Can't wait for more fun!
