- You were so brave when you got the bad news that your extra row of shark teeth had to come out. You sat in the dentist chair, practically catatonic while inhaling your strawberry "silly nose" and enduring the "great pull of 2011." Then you went back to school and proudly described your heroics to the whole class.
- You rocked Federation! You walked into that room like you owned the place and sat down at the piano like a famous musician and played your pieces like nobody's business. Then you got mad at me for trying to sneak a peek at your scores. For the record, you got a 99 out of 100. :)
- Being the most graceful and beautiful ballerina in your dance class.
- You are my new grocery shopping partner. I suspect this is because you know I will buy you a treat, but I'll pretend it's because you want to spend more time with me. Either way, I'll take it!
Jack:
- Jack: "Lindsay loves Justin Beaver." Me: "I think it's Bieber, honey." Jack: "Mom, I used to think it was Justin Beaver, but now I know it's Justin Beaker."
- You have reversed your stance on practicing. Now you claim that you love it, and we really do have a great time practicing together. Please let this never change!
- At parent teacher conferences your teachers went on and on about how smart and kind and wonderful you are, and about how all the girls in class love you.
- You had a sweet inventive outfit for "mashed-up Monday." Your quote from school that day : "I don't need to put on my snow pants today; I've already got my swimsuit on."
Rosie:
- While we were at the store, you walked up to a magazine with Paula Dean on the front and said, "Look, Mom, it's you!"
- You are obsessed with your plastic Disney Princesses.
- You are trying so hard to stay in your own bed all night, and we are trying to resist the temptation to let you into our bed and snuggle with the ever-snuggly rosebud. We are only about 50% successful.
- You "read" yourself to sleep now--quite literally! (see below)
