I admit, this whole collection made me laugh until I cried but I was also reminded that I love her so much, I think my heart could just burst with it. She's still so innocent of the world, you know, and yet so... I don't know what. So confident that she has something the world wants. I just... well, I get a little weepy.
And then my six (almost seven) year old had to make a community building to be part of the city that the first grade is putting together. Kids made buildings like these:
This is the bank (tall building) and the Doctor's Office.

This is the Fishing Shack, because every landlocked Texas city has one of those. (No, seriously.)

And MY daughter's contribution:
which she placed strategically right by the hospital.

LOL!!!
Love these!
Oh! Where was I? Yeah - love the Mickey D's by the hospital, too!
Here it is!
I second MadMad - I'll take the gown, but only if accessorized with the ball and the prince. Don't tell my husband.
Imagine that child in 20 years. Whoa.
Grr...
Re: the town building, HA!! I freakin' love it.
My hospital, by the way (the big university one, not State Hospital) has a Wendy's in it. Which, they're taking out, and putting a McDonald's in its place. Right inside the hospital!!
The first time they call a code blue to the McDonald's, I'm going to laugh so hard I may wet myself.
Oh, and svmkuqmh. In honor of the word verification being back on.
(by the way, my word verification is basically a version of ornery...)
