{ A little list of Cheerfuls }

Just a tallying up some stuff I am loving this week.

• getting to wear my red polka-dot wellies, hauling girlykins around in the the wheel barrow, listening to the birds sing away, spotting pussy willows and miniature daffodils in bloom. Planting a couple packages of seeds. Having a eager to help little girl as my shadow. Mommy is so pleased that she now knows what daffodils are.

• when she asks to me to play with her, " ring-a-rosy."

• loving the once every 10 seconds, all day long question, " what's Mama doing?" or " what's Daddy doing? " as she inquires about and soaks in absolutely every passing minute.

• running across this lovely line of paper.
  

• hearing her call to me from her crib " Mommy, knock, knock! " When she wakes up from her nap.

• loving this song and this song...and this song.

• not having to cook dinner last night because David wanted to take us out, just because.

• hearing David roar with laughter and then joining in myself after it sunk in what I had randomly blurted out, on the way home from said lovely dinner... something like " I need more nipples. " Of course I meant, for her bottles, because she chews the tops off of them. But it did sound shocking and hilarious having it come out like that.
  

• finding this fabric and dreaming up all sorts of ways to use it in my dress for Anna's wedding.

• and then of course the hunt for the perfect pattern. I like D, E or F of this one. And the short version of this one, and this one, which I totally adore, except I am not so sure about the fullness of the skirt.

• we are oh so gradually starting to dabble in the fine art of pottie training...so we've been doing a lot of " nakie" time, which she loves and I love because she is so unbelievably cute in her birthday suit...especially when she wears her lady bug boots with it. ;)

• the fact that we get to spend the evening with David's Mom and little sister, and then tomorrow evening with our best friends, and then all of us having breakfast together on Sunday morning at Grannies. Can't wait.

• oh and one last thing, this picture of Anniebelle playing dress up, her most beloved new found hobby.
