Here's to you, my sweet girl...

Soleil is creative.  Crazy creative.
She's got one of those minds that has to work really hard to think INSIDE the box.
She sees things differently.  Like for instance, I only saw a piece of paper...
and she saw a Pilgrim's bonnet...
I thought the $30 American Girl outfits were perfect for playing dress-up...
She preferred to make her own with bits of fabric and paper...
And why would I think we could dash out the door when going to a french restaurant?! 
She knew that she had to dress the part...

Today I am grateful for Soleil's internal drive to create.

It can slow us down (which often pains me initially), and can make a huge mess, but nearly always results in something far better than I ever could have imagined.  

It's so worth it.

  2. You notice everything, Jen! I love that. I've gotta have Corey tweak it though, I want it to be centered.
    Have a great weekend. I heard that there is snow in your part of the country! Wowsers.
