Shnayeem

She has officially left the realm of babyhood as of Sunday.

Here are a few things I have learned about my girl in the two years I have known her:

1. She loves shoes. She can usually be found tripping over a pair of Emma's sparkliest.
   
2. She is a bully. She was beating up the kids in the nursery on Sunday and stealing their lunch money.
3. Her eyes started out blue but now they are greenish with brown speckles.
4. She gives great pudgy armed patty giggly squeezy nuzzley neck hugs.
5. She adores Cinderella. I think it's the shoes.
6. She does not talk but she does sing. Her only words are: shoes, Da!, Ma!, Ba!, and various animal sounds. She is very expressive in spite of a negligible vocabulary.
   
7. At bedtime she babbles and belly laughs at her own wit.
8. She is good at legos and puzzles.
9. She will sit on anyone's lap who will read her a book.
10. Nothing upsets her brothers and sister more than being denied her goodnight kiss.
