Hank at Melody Makers

 When I put Hank in front of the camera, Vivian was laughing so hard that her face was bright red and she had tears rolling down her face. 

I had to entice this one to come inside this afternoon (with a bath...one of her favorite things). She couldn't get enough of playing in the snow.

It's so amazing how she's changing and maturing. Last year or the year before I remember her  continually whining and freaking out about being cold, losing a glove, her hat being over her eyes, her coat zipper not exactly the way she wanted it, her boots being wet, getting snow on her face, standing in the wrong spot, making the snowman too fast, you name it she was particular and edgy about it and let us know it. But today she was very go-with-the-flow about everything because she was so excited about the snow. For example, I knew her gloves were wet and her hands were freezing, but she shrugged it off as no big deal and even denied it so that she could continue to play. 

I want them to stay little but at the same time it's nice to have a little growing up going on around here, if you know what I mean! Don't get me wrong...we still have some moments of roller-coaster emotions, but it's definitely improving. 

Funny how this picture of her made me think of all those things. Ha!
