Camp out

In the living room. You did not care for s'mores. (What?!!!!!)

Always the bridesmaid.... And 2 yrs later, the bride. Poor sweet Charlotte.

You have to watch Ruby do everything first. This includes daisy scouts. I will tell you a secret though.

You learned the Girl Scout oath and have heard it much less.. We weren't even drilling you. And the silver and gold song... And you are only three. Just saying. (Genius)

Looking Good

You have recently become really really into dressup. Here are two examples of yourself "looking great"
In one, you got hold of my lip gloss and were very proud of the job you did.

In the second, you were a princess with a bike helmet.

Cinderella

All joking aside, being a middle kid, and having a big sister, is tough on the soul sometimes.

She goes to kindergarten first, goes to Girl Scouts first, and loses teeth first.

This, incidentally, made you have a real connection to the book we were reading tonight, Cinderella.

She wanted to go to the ball too. Just like her stepsisters.

So later, when I went to check on you, and found that you had changed from your pajamas to a tutu and slippers (which I had already changed you back once, when you had put on a swimsuit), I did not fuss. I got you. You are Cinderella, and you are going to that ball tonight. So I helped you put your slippers ON, and tucked you into bed, planting a big kiss on your head. I said "make sure you are home by midnight, Cinderella!"

You said "okay."
