Busy Times!

What day is today? What time is it? What YEAR is it? Time is flying by. That's the only way I can describe it. One thing I have learned- never make a to-do list for a vacation. It never gets done. We had more than two weeks off of work for the holidays and did maybe one thing off our list. Was it something important? No. You know how I know? Because I don't even know what it was! Sigh.

Little Miss Mollie is full of surprises. She is hilarious. Today, I wrote her name on the Magna Doodle, held it up to her without saying anything, and she looked at it and said "Mollie" then went about her business. Okay. I know the kid is smart, but what was that? Last night, I was eating a cookie with a snowman face, and I let Mollie take a few nibbles off of it. She looked at David's cookie that sat on the table waiting for him, and I could have sworn she said in a very matter-of-fact way, "Are you going to eat that?" It sounded more like "Are-oo-go-eat that?" She laughed immediately following her question. Once she got hold of her own cookie, she stuck it vertically in her mouth and made sure that both David and I took full notice.

We love her so much. She is so funny, sweet, and musical. She may only weigh 20 pounds and have only 5 teeth, but she's a doll. We love our little Mollie!

My Little Pony

When I was a little girl, I had a Fisher-Price pony to ride on. I remember the black mane, polka-dotted neck, red seat, wheels that made a clicking sound, little blue compartment underneath for hiding necessities, and the reigns that made the horse neigh. Several of my favorite photos from when I was a toddler involved the horse. At some point, it was sold at a yard sale.

Jump ahead to a few months ago, and I decided that Mollie just had to have one. Thank you, Ebay! It took me a little while and some sneaky bidding, but I won one. Granted the white plastic has yellowed some with age, my little Mollie loves it. She makes the horse "neigh", and she tries to climb on it. We still have to help her stay on it, but once on, she rocks back and forth while walking to get it moving. It's just precious. Here is a photo I took of Mollie and her horse at the Botanic Gardens. Enjoy!
