Hi Lovey,

I have had so so so much fun with you the past week when we went to visit family in Arkansas. You were hilarious to watch as you ran around and played with your cousins. You love the great outdoors so much, being outside, getting dirty. That’s great. One of your Great Uncles said, “You know what I like best about her? She comes down here knowing nobody but isn’t afraid to get dirty!” It’s one way you charmed your great Aunts and Uncles into anything you wanted I think :)   There were sooo many new people, you’d come up to me, point and ask “Who’s that guy?”

There was one part your Grandad-Great would have been so proud of you. When you kept telling me you wanted to go fishing. You pretended to fish off of the back of this trailer, and boy did you catch some doozies with how much effort you put into pulling in that little rope. Then we sat in the back of one of the fam’s truck and you pointed to each and every little fishing lure and asked what it was. It’s a moment you would have loved to have shared with your Grandad-Great. He could have told you the names, what kind of fish you used them on, and when. I got as far as “bobbers”, “lures”, and “weights.” :) I’m going to have to take you fishing with your Grandad this summer. That’s for sure. Make it more of a concerted effort and schedule weekends.

I love you boo- I love that you want new experiences, to get dirty, to run outside, to get excited about riding 4-wheelers. I love all of that. And then you come inside and put on a princess dress, or wear a tiara to church – the perfect combo :)

Love,
Mama
