Girly Girl

Bethany is such a little girly girl.  She loves to try on shoes, put a headband in her hair for a “crown” like Amanda, and play dress-up.  She’ll bring me a fairy dress out of the dress-up box and say “Eh! Eh!” until I put her in it.  She may not be able to talk, but she’s very emphatic about what she wants. 

 

One of her favorite things is to grab her sisters’ hands and play “Ring-around-a-rosy”.   She’ll grab Eva or Amanda’s hands and they’ll twirl in a circle as fast as they can until inertia takes over and someone falls down.   Bethany loves to dance, and kept trying to climb on the stage to join them when she saw her sisters dancing ballet up there.   

 

She may not be two yet, but Bethany is getting into everything and no drawer, cabinet or shelf is safe. In the past couple of days, she’s emptied the contents of the salt shaker and Eva’s water bottle all over the floor, eaten a stick of chap stick, drawn all over Amanda’s picture, dumped out the bathroom trash, and pulled a snowy pile of Kleenex out of the box.
