day 3: nennie-poo

My niece is at that age right now where playing dress up, running in the grass, and batting her long lashes will make everyone wrap aroundthat little finger of hers. I hate to admit being one to fall for it, but I absolutely adore her. Granted, if she misses a nap or you dont let her change into her fourth dress that day, she may get a little crabby.

But spending the day with her put a huge smile on my face. Last weekend I watched her while my sister went to a bachlorette party the entire day. She went to 2 different bookstores with me, and Ill tell you what, the two of us could have spent hours there. Then we came home, played dress up with the Oliva toy she hoodwinked me into buying her at Barnes and Noble (hence the red bows in my hair in above picture)

I also thought it would be a great idea to take her to a new frozen yogurt shop down by the beach I heard about. We pull up and she instantly remembers that the parking lot we are in is the one we park at to go to Hoffmans Ice Cream (not the one I was planing on going to). After ice cream it was time to go back home.And yes that would be the second dress in her arms for the day.

We ended the day by baking raspberry bars in my kitchen. It makes me so happy to think that one day I will have a little girl of my own. And hopefully I she will be just as sweet and adorable as my nennie-poo.
