more of the bear coming out...

each stage that Layla bear enters into brings with it such wonder, amusement, laughter and quandries. it has been such a joy to watch her little mind and spirit develop and watch her emerge into new ideas...

dressing her for the day and seeing her run to the mirrow and check herself out.

figuring our how to put her shoes on...

loving to accessorize and coming and telling me “go” when she thinks she is ready to go.

she loves when i cuddle her real close and pretend she is a baby. Marisa wrapped her all tight in this sheet and i just held her like a baby. so sweet.

and i told her she could watch "elmo" and i turned out around and this is what i saw. she waited patiently for me to turn the show on.

what silly and funny things will she say next?
