Update: Mimi's bday!

What?

Wait!
WHEN did this happen?
Wasn't she just yesterday that sweet, little baby that was barely toddling about?

Nope!

Now she's just 9 years old going on 15, and it's true what they say: As you get older times goes by even more quickly. I guess it's one of the repercussions of being a mom of "advanced maternal age:" this lightening fast pace at which they grow up.
***sigh***

What's your favorite color?
Golden.  Because it’s sparkly, and it looks pretty.

Please nobody correct her and tell her gold is actually a color, instead of golden. I beg you! 

Do you have a best friend? 

My best friend is Natalie. But my best friend at the cabin is Annabelle. 

What type of job do you want to have when you get older?
I want to be a vet so I can help animals. For example I would work in a veterinarian's office and and would help stray animals and dogs and cats. 

What do you think you're life will be like 30 years from now?
In 30 years I’ll be taller. And I know that I'll have dogs and a house. Probably 3 dogs. And maybe nobody would live with me because I might not get married. When I grow up I want to remember that I was little and that I liked girly stuff.

What is something you do really well?
I am nice. I let people play the games they want to play if they want to play that game even if I don't. And I play with people when they ask me too. I like to help people, like when they drop something I pick it up for them. 

What is something you're been working at getting better at? 

I'm trying hard to not be a baby. I’m trying to explain my problems instead of just saying, "Stop!"  

What is something you remember about this last year?
I remember that one time when I was 8, we went to Disneyland. We went on the pirate ride, and we watched the pirates steal money, and they had sword fights, and they had lots of gold! I was kinda scared of it then, but I want to go again soon! 

So Mimi has not surprisingly continued to be a lover of all things girly, including glitter, pink, ruffles, sparkles, shiny things, lip goo's, dresses, unicorns, twirling and skipping, dressing up the puppies, princesses, and pastel colors. She's nearly always wearing a smile and is absolutely a glass-half-full kind of gal.

Love you to the moon and back and then some my sweet, wonderful, growing-up-way-too-fast girl!
