some of the things i love about my sugarfoot

  • how she knows exactly what she wants
  • the baby curls in her hair
  • her love of moving heavy things all by herself
  • how sweet she is with her babies
  • how she lets me kiss and kiss and kiss on her. I hope she never stops.
  • her love of her aunties
  • her love of baths
  • how she eats veggies so well
  • her crooked little foot
  • how she already knows to play quietly near bedtime hoping we won't notice the time
  • how she cleans up her toys so nicely
  • how she scrunches up her whole face to smell flowers
  • how she pats my back while i'm holding her
  • how she is somehow already funny
  • how she helps set the table each night
  • how she helps cook dinner -- the whole while eating whatever I've given her to 'work' on
  • how, from whatever age she first looked at books, she has always had strong preferences
  • how she never forgets
  • how she loves her grandparents
  • how her kisses are SO genuine. they're never just handed out
  • how she loves to run away and can't wait for you to chase her
  • how she stands and points to the floor and signs please (if we're lucky) to make us stand up and then gives us our next order
  • how brave she is (or crazy) slides, trampolines, stairs are all no match for her
  • how she says "Hmmmmmmmmmmm" when we open the pantry while she selects something to eat
  • how she high-fives and then knuckles
  • how happy she is to see us (Joe says almost as happy as we are to see her)
  • how she 'hides' things and then looks at me and says "Where'd it go?" quite seriously
  • the way she prefers to snack in her bath
  • the way she lies down all the way on the ground after falling slightly. i hope she doesn't become THAT kid in PE class.
  • the way she deadpans some people

Of course there's a million more reasons. I already feel guilty for whatever I've left off.

Thanks for the giggles! :)
I love that she hides things and asks where they are. This is such a fun(ny) age.
