Too smart (and cute!)

Here she is today with her monkey "mommy-keep-track-of-me" backpack

New stylin' shades. (Yes she keeps them on! )
The frames are purple (of course), she wouldn't even TRY ON the pink ones, once she saw the purple ones.

This week has been unbelievably hot around here...in the 100s with heat index almost 110. One morning, we were getting in the car to go to the store. When we go outside, she is a stinker about getting in the car. All she wants to do is run, run, run (away from me, of course!). I've gotten smart and left a stuffed bear in the car. When it's time to get in the car, I simply say, "are you ready to see Mr. Bear? " Typically, she just run over to the car and gets so excited to see Mr. Bear. (Thank goodness!!!)

Anyways, back to the story. So, I put her in the car seat. She looked at me, made a funny face and signed "hot". I smiled, giggled a little (you have to be careful about that sometimes!) and yes, honey it is HOT! Too cute!

Another funny story--the other day I asked her which of 2 outfits she wanted to wear. One was a light purple tank with a denim skirt while the other one was a coral onesie with coordinating shorts. Anyways, I could tell she was NOT excited about her options...she kind of had a "ho-hum" look on her face. So, I offered another outfit exactly like the shorts, but the onesie was a deep lilac purple with striped shorts. She squealed with delight and literally grabbed that outfit out of my hand before I could even get it on the floor to show it to her! Such a fashionesta.
