Special Things

I saw the idea on Connie's blog (see her link below) and I loved the idea...

(Gracie at Easter -3 and a half)

10 special things about Gracie at 3 and three-quarters years old...

1. She gives awesome hugs.

2. She has the most beautiful (and longest) eyelashes I have ever seen.

3. She loves to help me cook- especially blueberry muffins!

4. She only sucks (at bedtime) on the perimeter of "Blankie" leaving the center dry.

5. Doing "schoolwork" (workbooks with letters and numbers) is her favorite activity.

6. She looks for ANY excuse to put on a Band-aid.

7. She is mostly a Mommy's Girl.

8. She loves to be on the go because she gets bored at home- she especially loves to shop!!

9. "Junk" is her new favorite food group. She says, "Tonight, I just want to eat junk!" (it doesn't

happen, but she gives it a shot!)

10.It is amazing to hear her randomly use big words in the right context. She just blows us away!
