Top Ten Tuesday: Ruby

Without an operational digi cam, I fail to give my child her due face time on our blog, so I felt this week was best dedicated to the many things you might not know about her.

1. She dances to all music and often demands two things. First, that we put on her Snow White princess dress so she looks pretty while she moves. And second, she will drag you from your seat begging "Please" the whole time when she wants you to waltz with her.

2. Any sadness can be made better with a two step remedy: her kitty and her pacifier.

3. She sleeps like a champ--and ALWAYS in her own bed. She has slept with us only once in her two years of life. Her schedule is fantastic for a family who values sleep: 12-14 hours at night and a two hour nap.

4. She loves her best friends Abby, Hannah, and Axelle. She jumps up and down as soon as she sees them, screaming and hugging them.

5. She now wakes up in the morning yelling "Mama. MaaaaMaaa." Unless I told her the night before that Papa would be home when she wakes up. She remembers and calls for him in that case.

6. She has the deepest, funniest laugh, but somehow talks in the highest, sweetest voice.

7. When we get home she runs through the house yelling, "puppy" until she finds him and then she gives him a big hug (you might not know, he is taller than her).

8. She reads already! OK, not really. But she will sit and read a book, and if it is one of her faves you can hear her saying, "Go, Dog. Go!"

9. She sits in front of the mirror and pretends to put makeup on while I get ready in the morning.

10. When Nate gets home in the evening, she drops everything to run for the door to get to him before Barkley. Between the two of them, it is total pandemonium.
