I will probably regret posting this when it really hits, but so far, I can't see why everyone calls the two's the terrible two's? Julia is such a little sweetheart and is really a good little girl. She still hasn't climbed out of her big girl bed! Every morning when I go in to get her after I hear her talking, she says, "Mommy, I want to get up now, OK?" When I say ok, she slides down off the bed. Is this unheard of? She is not one to get into things and has never even opened a kitchen cabinet door to get something to eat or pull anything out. I can reason with her most of the time and she rarely fusses. She loves to sing, play with her little people and read books. She also likes her Jee Jee and Paw Paw and Sarah. She gets so excited when she sees them!
Sticker legs....aren't they juicy? Oh yeah, and those are orange play doh worms on the couch that you see.
The snow day. I had to go to work, but John said he spent 20 minutes bundling her up to go outside in the snow and she was ready to come in after about 2 minutes! He said she asked for a paper towel to wipe her hands when she got snow on them.
She is a little artist and spends a lot of time coloring. This was a paint with water book that she was really proud of.
Contemplating life....John and I are loving every minute of being Julia's parents. We ask ourselves if every little girl is this good or this sweet or this pretty. We think we got pretty lucky.
I got to go the movies last night to see The Blind Side and really liked it, even though it was a little bit sappy. John has netflixed a couple of interesting independent films lately. One was called, "The Real Dirt on Farmer John." Incredibly quirky and right up our alley. I am about to finish reading a fascinating book for book club called Olive Kitteridge. I've had a hard time putting it down this weekend. In our spare time, I am still sewing like mad and John is playing a lot of music. He is playing an exciting gig tonight in Little Rock that is sponsored by the Oxford American magazine.
Life is good!

Sweet, sweet times. Such a pretty girl!
You are so lucky! Maggie Grace's answer to everything is "no". When she finally said "yes" to something yesterday I said "finally something other than no". She promptly said "no". UGH!!! Plus I don't think there's a cabinet Maggie Grace has not opened in our house. Yes, count your blessings.
