These pictures are
some of my favourites! I hate to hit the Delete button. Truly. Sigh. Mean old
Apple.
Photo #1: Little Leighton (LL). The Snow Bunny Fashionista on a chilly, country
day last November. No words from this Grammy. No words.
Photo #2: 2015 New Year’s Eve at TLC’s cRaZy
WILD casa. Her Hubby took this. Bless her preggo little heart. She was clearly
pooped. LL, on the other hand, gets revved up when she’s playing games on her
Mama’s iPad. It can be too intense. They actually now have a “NO iPad Play”
rule an hour before LL’s bedtime.
Photo #3: LL wrote this “3”—her age, of course—coincidence?—back in January.
Thanks to the dedication of her pre-school teachers and TLC, she works every
day on learning how to write her letters and numbers. My Sweet Hubby (MSH) and
I were sooo impressed! We’re pretty sure she’s a genius. Right?
Photo #4: LL. In her rocking chair—in her room (that was her Mama’s!) at Our
Country Casa in February—watching Disney Jr or Sesame Street or Daniel
Tiger or Peppa Pig. Confession: We all talk to each other in our BEST English
accents when Peppa is on! I adore all the pink in this photo—and the tiara. Tiaras
aren’t always comfortable, you know. It can be tough—to be Royal.
Photo #5: This tubtime snapshot was also taken in February. LL is obsessed with
her Grammy and Pa-Pa’s garden tub—because it’s big. Her Mom and Dad have one,
too. LL simply hasn’t figured out that she could take a bath in that one. Bless her kept-in-the-dark-about-that-possibility little soul. When we asked LL
what her tub friends were doing/watching, she said: “They’re listening to the
Princesses—(who remind her of Elsa and
Anna)—sing!” I left this scene the way it was for days and days. I’d walk
into my bathroom and smile. I’d smile with every cell in my old body.
Photo #6: LL's selfie! Be still my heart.

Thank Y’all—for humouring
me! Like you ever have a choice.
Hope each of you has
a Wonderful Weekend—wherever in the World you are…
smooches and hugs,
