When you were little...

Dear Evie Rose, 

Some of the things I remember that make me smile...


  You insisted on being called "Evie Rose Sweetie Pie Tinkerbelle" because you didn't like the way, plain old Evie Rose D. sounded. 


  We would say "You're so stinkin' cute" and you would look at us wide eyed and say "I"M STINKY AND CUTE?!?!" 


  When someone bought you a doll for Christmas, you named her dolly. And you would show people and say  "This is my Dolly" and when they would ask what her name was you'd look at them like they were crazy and say "DOLLY!"


  You could never get enough cuddles, ever. If you were awake, you wanted to be in somebody's lap. 


  When something would scare you, you would say "YOU SCARED THE TOAST OUT OF ME!"  Why toast?


If there was a cat in the vicinity, you would be holding in in .005 seconds. 


  
You would sing, from the time you were old enough to make noise, it would be singing. My favorite song was the one you sang while sitting on the toilet, "Oh my prince, come and save me, and we can get married, but not until I'm 30"


There was a time, that lasted nearly a year, that if you were home, you were in a princess dress. 


I love you forever, 
Mommy
