It's a Fluer De Lis

Claire, is 21 months now and that 2 year mark is quickly approaching.  We are ever so slightly moving into the terrible twos but so far they aren't SO terrible.  As typical for "new" Mom's I'm falling in love with this beautiful creature more every day.

She is so smart and amazes me continually every single day.

I am wearing an old New Orleans Hornets Tshirt and she point to it and says "Mommie, what is that?" and I say a hornet and she says "NO, it's a fleur de lis."  Seriously?  How did she remember that b/c I've only said it once or twice.

She's just amazing.

I LOVE HER.

It's the first Christmas where she knows what is going on and "Santa gets to come to my house." I'm equally as excited as she is.

I hope to start a few traditions with her at Christmas time, praying, putting out the Nativity Scene, lighting the advent candle and getting small amounts of things...and of course giving.

She'll get something she needs, something she wants, something she can read and something she can wear...I like that idea.  Nothing more is needed.
