Last weekend, S had a teddy bear's picnic birthday party.  It was a very happy morning and F has talked about it all week.  I even heard her having a conversation with a tiny teddy bear she found (we cleaned her room this week and found new toys!)  The teddy bear wanted to go to the teddy bear's picnic and F was telling him regretfully that all the teddies have gone home to bed..

In other F-news, we have discovered hair baubles (pony-tail holders) and I am loving having a little girl actually *asking* to have her hair put up.  As previous pictures over the last 3 years attest, even just to get her to brush her hair has been a mammoth struggle and all hair acoutrements seen as foreign objects to be snatched out at the earliest opportunity.  Another stage emerges...we have a little girly girl.  :-)
