There was a little girl

There was a little girl
who had a little curl
right in the middle of her forehead
And when she was good
she was very, very good
And when she was bad
she was horrid.

--Henry Wadsworth Longfellow


So happy to say that I think that Ella Joy is finishing up this crazy compulsive wiping stage. I know there will be others. But what a feat to have survived the last month of some serious craziness.

I love this picture because it reminds me of the good, the very,very good.
She is so sincere in her compliments and her affections.
She will tell me with unrestrained enthusiasm "you the best mommy ever!"
And then hug me as tight as her 2 little arms can hug.
I sure love this little girl!
