This evening we were taking a stroll around the neighbor"hood" when two little girls ran out on their driveway. Both about Silvi's age, one had some Dora the Explorer pj's on and the other had a Disney Princess nightgown on.
Upon seeing her fashionable peers Silvia says,
"Hi. I like your shirts."
Without missing a beat.
The girls just stared and didn't say anything. Unphazed she just continued on her stroll, pushing her pink stroller with her dolly in it.
Very cute and innocent.
Sad that the same situation will likely continue to play out and 9 times out of 10 the only response will be a blank stare.

Nostalgia
Had a few moments of nostalgia today.
First, there's this kid who is growing so fast.
I'm already sad about the day when I'll look back and find it hard to remember him as a baby.
Then there is this girl.
She is so full of life. Everything is a role play these days. From Cinderella, to scary monsters, to crawling around pretending to be a puppy for a whole afternoon. She just keeps me totally entertained, and wears me out all at the same time.
Today I thought it would be fun to introduce her to "Annie." I wasn't sure if she would sit through it, especially because it's not animated, but she did. Funny enough, half way through the movie she wanted to be the "mom" and for me to be her "kids." Then she started throwing a ribbon around her neck. I finally figured out she was Miss Hanagen. What?! Since when do little girls love Miss Hanagen.
Oh wait. Her speach is slurd. She wears wacky outfits. And she's got some crazy dance moves. What three year old wouldn't relate?!

Silver Lake
Jon's sister came to town for a visit so those that could went to Silver Lake for a nice afternoon
Silvi with the "Pick a Poop" game that I used to watch the kids play with oh so long ago. Never imagined I'd watch my own kid get the same enjoyment out of it..
Hauling the babe around. Pretty stylin'!
