I need to write about Alana today. She is the cutest little almost 3 year old. We have had a rough day today. We just aren't getting along for some reason. Maybe it's my lack of sleep due to Charlotte being sick? Perhaps seasonal affective disorder is taking it's toll on both of us? At any rate, she is currently playing upstairs with our wonderful neighbors because she wanted to. And when she asked me to go, it was the first time all day that she hadn't used a whiny voice. How am I supposed to say no to that?
Anyway, I wanted to write 10 things I love about this little girl:
1. She has such a great imagination. She'll dress up as a cowgirl fairy princess and ride her horse around the house. Her elaborate stories always make me laugh.
2. She is so observant. I'm sure part of the reason she is so high-strung is that she has picked up on my anxiety levels. Sheesh, I hope I don't ruin this poor little thing. But what a memory. We have to be careful about what we say around her. Today she was telling her friend Claire that my visiting teacher is her Aunt Michelle. Made me laugh!
3. She loves to read books. She's started even "reading" the stories to herself, and I love peeking in on her and listening to her. She remembers things so well! I'm relieved that she loves to read, because I do too!
4. She loves her litle sister. That doesn't mean she's always nice, but she's learning and when Char cries I'll hear things like "oh, baby, it's ok!"
5. She loves her Daddy. They are too cute together!
6. She is very decisive. I've decided to consider this a good attribute.
7. She loves to be independent, but sometimes she'll still let me help her, and she let's me rock-a-bye her every night!
8. She loves to help. She's a great dish-washer, and is learning how to make her bed. I need to be more consistent with that one, but she is great about helping!
9. She loves the outdoors. She's definitely my girl, we just don't like being cooped up inside for too long!! We can't wait until Spring! I'm sure she'll be glad to "help" me weed our yard!
10. She loves music and singing and running. Could she do anything more to endear herself to me?! I just love this little girl!
