Smartest, Funniest, Cutest Girl in the World




Finley and Mommy have been spending some quality time together this MEA. While Daddy has been in Trimont enjoying his "boy time", Finley has been all about role-playing and acting like the big kids she sees at school. She's read me the same book about a hundred times this weekend. It happens to be an empty checkbook that she holds up like she's reading to the "class" and says, "He wants to go to the beach." Turn page. "He wants to go to the beach." Turn page. Repeat about 800 more times. Last night, she put on every single piece of jewelry, hat, costume, etc. she could find before hitting the hay. This morning, we were awakened by the "wordpoker" that likes to eat the wall outside our bedrooms. Of course, she was very concerned with this all day long, but not enough to keep her from wanting to play outside all morning. Luckily, it was finally a lovely day with some sun. After running up and down the hill hundreds of times ("Your turn" she would say), she finally decided she wanted to draw with the chalk. I showed her how to write an "F" for Finley once and she made 3 or 4 more all by herself, perfectly. She's a genius! Of course, she gets it all from her mother, right? ;)
