brings out the best in me

Brooklyn has taught me many many things. One big thing she has helped me find is a sense of adventure. I could easily spend the whole day inside, doors shut, curtains closed. But now i wake up excited to go outside. Brooklyn and i cant get outside quick enough each morning. If I tell her that she needs to get dressed before we go outside she will run down the hall into her room and come out a few minutes later with herself 1/2 way undressed and new clothes and shoes in her hand. She sometimes will even put a hat on her head! Her and i can spend the whole day wondering the neighborhood, collecting rocks, smelling all the flowers, carrying as many sticks and leaves as our hands and pockets can carry, visiting friends and hitting up the neighborhood park for some swinging and sliding! I cant wait for it to be summer so we can go to the beach and have swimming lessons and all the fun things summer holds!

One of Brooklyns new favorite games while changing her diaper is to do a "body part" run down. Here are all the parts she points to and also when asked can tell you where they are located! She is so smart!
