This girl amazes me. She is smart, witty, loving and hilarious. Just an all-around fun girl to hang out with.
Ever since we took the "dewy" (pacifier) away a few months ago (dentists orders!), she has rarely been napping. But, she often happily plays or reads in her room for an hour and a half, so I can't complain! When she wanders downstairs after "quiet time", we usually have a fun snack together, and sit on the couch and talk. I ask her about her friends, and she always has something funny to say. We chat about our favourite parts of the day so far, and what she would like to do that afternoon. And, often, she'll ask if I want to know a secret, which is usually something like "You're the apple of my eye" and other adorable sayings. It's fun.
She loves her sister, and LOVES the new kitty. She wraps him in a blanket, cradles him, sings him songs- it's pretty cute to watch.
She is acting so big, and she looks big, too. Everyone always asks what grade she is in. Which is making me think it might be a good idea to start her in Kindergarten this next year, instead of waiting. I don't want her to tower over the other kids too much. Then she really wouldn't fit in.
Eva's favourite things to do around the house are- dancing around the house like a ballerina, practicing her gymnastics, playing Chutes & Ladders or Candyland, and playing with little Barbie accessories. She sits at the table for hours each day, just playing with her Barbie stuff (or Polly Pockets, but we seem to have lost them- they are so darn small!)
She's such a good "kid". I can't believe she is officially a "kid" now. The toddler in her is very much long gone, sniff sniff. But, I'm enjoying her independence, and loving that she is becoming a fun, little friend.

I love it when online American stores cater to their Canadian neighbours.
