Here are a few things about her that I love:
She gives the best hugs, real hugs that actually squeeze.
She is perceptive and kind. Once I was touched by something on T.V. and started to get a bit teary eyed. She came up to me and asked what was wrong and then gave me kisses.
She claims she doesn't like to hold my hand, but at the slightest indication I will walk off without her, she calls "Mama, don't leave me, hold my hand" and then she holds on for dear life.
She is funny and she knows it and at times can act like a little clown just for a reaction.
She loves all things girlie, but that by no means makes her a girlie girl, she can get rough and tough and dirty with the best of them, she just likes to have polish on when she is doing it.
She loves her family, especially big brother. Even though she can tease him, you can tell she adores him.
She is always asking questions about our world and wants to know everything.
She uses the word "marry" instead of dance. So she will ask little boys (cousins, brother etc.) if they will marry her, to which she usually gets a "never" response, which infuriates her and she demands they "marry" her.
If she thinks you are mad or sad as a result of her, she will say "mama, what I do?" In this worried and sweet voice. Which, if I am in fact mad as a result of her, melts it away in seconds.
She gives me sweet little kisses on my cheek, sometimes for no apparent reason. I have found if I pretend to wipe it off, I can score several more little kisses from her and eventually a soft little hand on my cheek, holding the recently placed kiss in place. All of which I adore.
I love that she calls "sour patch kids" candy "Saturdays". We always call them that now. Hey. Did she by chance put our arm covers in your diaper bag? We've looked everywhere and can't find them.
