my brilliant niece

Lucy's amazing. and yes, i know, i'm totally biased, and i don't care. i spent last weekend in San Diego for Lucy's b-day. while there i went over to a friend's house and played with her two boys, they were not nearly as interesting. Lucy is just bursting with personality, and she's just a happy and witty and clever and sly and warm and funny little girl! we had tons of fun playing with stickers and playing doctor with stuffed animals and reading books and going to music class. she loves to dance and watch "Pre-School Musical" on Sesame Street!! (an artist on our hands perhaps?) she definitely marches to the beat of her own drummer. she loved my prezzie (wooden vegetables and fruits) and we had fun playing grocery checkout with her new cash register. she quickly learned how to use the credit card. she's so curious how things work (like her engineer Daddy perhaps?)

i was worried that she would be afraid of me given that she really doesn't know me. she was shy and just wanted to observe me at first. but she warmed up eventually and included me in her play. it makes me feel so good when she wants to play with me. i could play all day long!

i love being Aunt Jamie!
