She May Look Pretty in Pink...

I turned around this afternoon and gasped.  I cried out,"A princess!  Where did a princess come from?!"

The princess laughed airily and replied,"It's Eliana!"

You can dress her up in fancy clothes but she remains an impish little monkey who likes to climb on people, wrestle with her brother (or whomever is around), trap you, fuss about ridiculous things, and refuse to eat chocolate covered peanut butter.  But she does have a snuggle-foot, so there's that.  And after the fussing she hugs me and says,"I love you," which I'm pretty sure is her way of saying she's sorry.  Most of the time I don't know what to do with her.  Keep loving her, I suppose.

Funny...I scratch my head not knowing what to do with my third as well:) She is still a puzzle to me. Thanks for the post comment! My husband read that same article to me just a few minutes ago. What a role model he is to all of us!! Can't wait to read your post!

What else can you do but love the children you are given. She is so full of spirit. I can't believe how big she has gotten. She sure is growing into a beautiful young lady.
