BabyLove

A Picture Speaks a 1,000 Words

This picture sums up my little Lady Bug these days.

smiley.

probably squealing.

yet no doubt about to tell me something very serious and important

all the while wearing her blue sunglasses

upside down and backwards.

and if you look at the bottom left hand corner you will see a small portion of her baby doll's head.

yes, we always eat with at least ONE baby doll at the table... maybe 2 or 3 on a special day.

with their own plastic food and cups, of course.

sometimes i even find someone furry or plasticy in MY chair.

I politely excuse them.

I really never know what I will look up and see these days...

sometimes it is a perfectly quiet and content little girl coloring away.

this seems to be a favorite activity for sure right now.

she's only colored on the floor once.

thankfully it wiped right off the hard floors. whew.

anyways, this is a princess coloring book that she and DaddyLove picked out together at the bookstore.

she thinks all of the Princesses in it are dreamy.

i do too.

the only problem is that she is stuck on the color blue these days.

all of her pictures are BLUE.

did you hear me?!

????

now this was my biggest worry when i decked her nursery out in Pink Flowers.

I scared her.

Now she doesn't like pink. she likes blue!

humph.

oh well.

the other problem w/ the coloring book is that she keeps pointing to the "Prince"

and asking "Who's this Mama?"

I say, "It's the Prince"

She looks at me puzzled and says, "Who's this?", once again.

I say, "The handsome man that the Princess falls in Love with"

and once again she points and says,

"who's this?"

I give up and say...

"i don't know."

who cares, really?

it's a BOY.

Here is one of her masterpieces

that her and DaddyLove colored together.

notice all of the "blue" scribbles??

I kid you not... she's stingy with the blue.

i don't get it.

i need to go buy a box of blues, i guess.

Well, I love this picture and will keep it forever.

I think it was probably DaddyLove's first time to color since he was 5

and he and BabyLove had some good conversations over this picture.

which also included a talk about sharing...

(the blue color, of course)

it's also my first reminder that BabyLove is her own unique person

and no matter what phases she goes through

and what ideas she comes up with

it is all apart of who she is.

and i love that.

i know God created her PERFECTLY

and I'm going to believe in that forever.

...well, until she goes to pick her Prince

then i just may give a little bit of input... ;-)

My Blue Fancy Pants,

I Love You!

You are my

Angel!

(btw, take note in the first picture of her blue sunglasses and her blue cup. it's all day long folks. really. it gets to be comical after a while. i asked her the other day in the cookie store which cookie she wanted, as we looked through the glass case. she said...

"Blue One"

there was no blue one)
