"I wear purple E-O-Tard"

This is what Ansley says to me this morning. She got a new leotard for gymnastics, and she loves it. It's purple, with a matching skirt - so cute! It fits better than the previous one - it doesn't look shrink-wrapped to her chest. She had a fun time at 'nastics (as she calls it) - she jumped on the trampoline today, which she always loves. Afterwards she had a playdate with her friend Alex (and I had a playdate with Alex's mom, Christina:)). It was so fun to see them play together. Thanks, Christina and Alex, for a fun morning!

Ansley's vocabulary is really going crazy these days. I love this chatter - it's SO cute and so much fun. You never know what she's going to pick up on or say, so of course I'm on guard (not that I ever say anything that wouldn't be repeatable! :)), but I love hearing this chatter through the house. I love the little slap-slap of her bare feet walking around. I love hearing her say "Let's go play outside, Mommy. Outside, please." She is so silly, and so happy, and I love that about her. She is getting into nursery rhymes, and one of her favorites is "Baa Baa Black Sheep." When she gets to the end, she always says "one for the master, and one for Mommy! And one for Daddy!" and then cracks up, which of course makes me crack up too.

So, so blessed to have this sweet little girl to spend my days with. "Terrible" twos and all, I wouldn't trade it for the world!

hey, I meant to say it this morning - but she looked SO cute in the EO Tard! I think perhaps the only regret I have about not having a girl is that there are no special clothes for boys to wear to gymnastics :) We had a great time today - thanks :)
