"Let's Pretend Like..."

My daughters most frequent phrase. This usually begins and sometimes directs our games. Example: "lets pretend like your the prince, Lionel's the king, Kelly's the queen, and im the princess" or "lets pretend like I only like healthy stuff and you only like sugary stuff". With her creative imagination and endless ideas there is always plenty of pretend. She so funny too. She can incorporate anything into or make a game out of just about anything. Whether its a "Daddy and Lionel show" on the way home, ordering her dinner that im making for her, insisting that I make the stuffed animals talk while she uses the bathroom, don't step on the cracks at wal-mart, keeping points while we make puzzles, or church being a "field trip" for her and Kelly. Im not even breaking the ice either.

What a blessing she truly is and her sweet, loving and playful spirit is more then I could ever, ever ask for. Not long ago she told me just out of the blue "I Love Life" and she certainly does. Her love of learning, church, people, playing, art and doing what's right and good really shows that. Take all that and put it into the cutest little nutshell ive ever seen and you get the closest thing to perfection I know of, my angel gurl MaryJane. She may be the Queen of Pretend, but her happy heartedness and sweet smile is no act....

Had an awesome blossom weekend!
