My Precious

She is not a snuggler and never really has been. But every once in awhile I can get her to just sit with me awhile and I LOVE it. Lots of times I'm filled with emotion as various memories of the last three and a half years come to mind. Gosh, where does the time go?

She is a sweet, smart, stubborn, funny, adorable, curious, opinionated, independent 'lil stinker-of-a-kid, so fearfully, wonderfully, and undoubtedly made by her Creator, and so precious to me.

She likes coloring, playing in the snow, swings, slides, chocolate chips, Honeycomb cereal, the colors blue, green, purple and pink, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Max and Ruby, BOZ, marshmallows, ice water, listening to CDs in the car, going to church, when daddy comes home from work, Care Bears, boxes and putting things in boxes, her little brother, going to parks, frosting, wearing dresses, cinnamon or jelly toast, it's a small world, laffy taffy, broccoli and ranch, getting letters from her grandpa, yogurt, helping in the kitchen, cottage cheese, having friends over, and granola bars.

She does not like raisins, Monsters, Inc., oatmeal, milk, pooping, SpongeBob, listening to mommy's CDs in the car, going home after church, wearing jeans, oranges, getting her hair combed, lotion, and cucumbers.

I could not have imagined the little person that she is and I feel blown away by the privilege of being her mommy. I get that "job" and no one else. It's rather incredible to me.

The other day she and I sat on our big chair in the living room. The camera was right there so I snapped a few pics of us together. It was fun! My Precious.
