Disney on Ice

My friend Esther called me on Saturday with two extra tickets to Disney on Ice. I was super excited because I had wanted to go, but never quite pulled the trigger on buying the tix. I knew it would be a perfect mother/daughter date. The nite before I told Mia I had a surprise for her. She guessed, A trip to the ice cream store? A new toy? A trip to Disney World?  She was sort of close!!!

She loved seeing the characters & kept saying she wanted to give them hugs. She would yell, Hi Barbie, like Barbie was there just for her. Those moments of love and the innocence that shine only from children  are my favorite.

Stay my Baby Forever

Every morning she wakes up asking if she's four yet.  "No baby, your birthday's in April." She'll say "But mom look at my legs, they grew sooo long last nite." The more she begs to grow up the more I'm wishing she would stay three forever. These are the days that she loves me best. The days filled with Octonauts, chutes+ladder and our new favorite Freckleface Strawberry.
