Getting Out

We spent the whole weekend at home and tonight we just needed to get out for a bit ... my parents had invited us to dinner at IHOP but wound up cancelling ... so we decided to go anyway ... we all needed a bit of time out of the house ...

Curly Top picked out her own outfit ... she wanted to wear her Little Capers superhero shirt ... which was adorable ... with a pink skirt and her red shoes ... and her flowered hat ... just adorable ...

Tonight for the first time she used a booster seat at the restaurant instead of a high chair ... and she loved it ... thought she was really big stuff ... and sat there saying hi to anyone who would listen ... I was also so proud of her ... every time our waitress brought something to the table she said thank you without any sort of prodding from me ... she has become so polite ... just melts my heart ...

We stopped at CVS on the way home ... we had a few things to pick up and wanted her to work off some of the sugar she had on her happy face pancakes ... she strutted through that store like the mayor of Tiny Town ... saying hello to everyone ... showing off her cape ... asking me what every item in the store was ... it is amazing that someone so little can make going to CVS like being at Disneyland ... she is just the best ...

And when we got home she was more than happy to get ready for bed ... say, "Night ... see soon" (which is night ... see you soon" ...

There are for sure times I wonder how I was so lucky to get such a happy good kid ... I couldn't have asked for more if I could have pre-ordered her ...
