My little messy girl

I haven't posted in a while, but I was inspired to post something as I have been reading my friend's blog daily.  As I write this, dear friends of ours are flying back from China with their new 3 year old precious little girl…and I am so happy for them!  (not happy that they are having to fly for a million hours, because that's a pain…but it will all be over soon!)

Anna has turned into a little tornado of mess…a precious mess…but really a mess.  When we go anywhere, she somehow finds the mud and water puddles and will not stop until she jumps in them.  I have given up fighting her and just bring towels with me.  We are always the last to leave practice (for the boys' various sporting activities), so everyone always walks past my little muddy girl.  People now know me as the mom with the little girl in the mud.  





Yes…she puts her head in the muddy water

Anna also likes to find her own snacks these days.  She will reach her little hands up and pull anything she can off the table or the edge of the kitchen counter.  And if the kitchen cabinets aren't closed she will pry them open and find something she can dump out.  The boys often forget and leave their cups too close to the edge of the table…Anna will pour them out on the floor, then sit in the milk/water/juice and pat it with her little hands.



She also found a (non-toxic) blue marker left on the ground and decided to taste it... 





And here's a non-messy picture!
