Audrey

Today's entry is all about Audrey! My girly-girl!

Audrey is precocious, spunky, tough but loveable. Just the way one has to be in a family with three brothers! She can wrestle and karate-chop with the best of them, but she can turn around and create elaborate works of art with markers and glue (her favorite drawings are mermaids and sea creatures), or play with her Barbies and Polly Pockets for hours on end. She likes Dragon Tales and Caillou (*shudder*) but like her mom, she could easily do without TV at all. She would much rather have friends come over and play pretend and create things with her.

Audrey LOVES to hold Cole and asks repeatedly throughout the day if she can do just that. She is so sweet and gentle with him. The little rascal has also convinced Daddy to let her continue sneaking into bed with us (with Cole in there too, we're like a heap of puppies), but she's so careful even then. Here's one peek at the two of them:



Audrey has lots of friends and a tender heart. When Aunt Sharron left the other day, she cried her little heart out, recounting memories of the last two days she had with her. She's not in preschool this year, but I can imagine she'll LOVE kindergarten. This year, though, she is enjoying the one-on-one Mommy-daughter time she gets when we sit down to learn our letters or how to count by tens or whatever we do. She beams with pride when we praise her gorgeous artwork.

Her "Boston accent" still befuddles us all. Since she's never been to Boston, it's amazing that she can sound so much like a native. Pahk the cahr in the gahrage, anyone?

I love my little spitfire and wouldn't change a thing about her.
