Update after a fun weekend

This weekend was a fun one for us, the small things we get to enjoy together make me miss being a stay at home mom so much. Saturday was spent out shopping most of the day, we went to a consignment sale. I love buying clothes for my pretty girl. I can't believe I'm shopping for sizes 3T and 4T! Later, we went to Food City and you got to ride in the racecar cart. I love how the smallest things make you so happy.

On Sunday, your sweet Papaw Charlie took you out shopping for a Halloween costume. I thought you would end up with something crazy, but the two of you picked an Ariel costume. You loved it so much! Your Papaw said several times on Sunday that it was the best day that the two of you had had together in a long time. He loves you so much. Later on Sunday, we went back out shopping for a red wig. Any little girl who wants to dress up like the Little Mermaid needs a red wig! We found the perfect wig at K-Mart, as well as some clothes for my little princess. I honestly cannot go anywhere without buying something for you. It's impossible. Later, when we got home I watched you play. You're such a little mommy. You lined all your tiny little princesses and polly pocket dolls up for a nap, and covered them up with a big blanket. You do the funniest things. You're so easy to amuse, you play pretend with your dollies and you love to color and paint with watercolors.

Something about you that I find extraordinary is your memory for music. You are very musically inclined, and have an ear for pitch and good rhythm. You come by this honest, for sure. You've been surrounded by musicians your entire life. But the way that you hear a song, and remember the words and melody so quickly just amazes me. A few songs that you love and sing constantly now are Single Ladies by Beyonce, If I Die Young by the Band Perry, A Little Too Not Over You by David Archuleta and many other songs from Dora and the Backyardigans. Everyone is amazed by your singing, it is so sweet to watch and listen to. I look so forward to watching you grow and unfold into whatever you dream of becoming.

I can't believe it's October. The weather has turned so cold, and it reminds me that winter and Christmas are on their way. I'm so excited. You make everything so much more fun, and I look forward to finding you the perfect gifts, and taking you to talk to Santa in a couple of months. Your Mamaw and I have started crocheting since Fall is here. We've made you hats, and a couple scarves. You are so spoiled, little girl. I love dressing you for fall, you look so cute in your blue jeans, sweaters, hoodies and boots.




Today, You and Granny came to visit me at work. You looked so cute in your pink cowboy boots your Granny got you! You came in and gave me some love, but you were too shy to give miss Sherrie a hug. You talked her ear off about the clock and the shape of her coffee cup. Everyone you meet loves you, because you have such a tender and sweet heart. I can't wait to finish the work day and come home to you!
