Bit of Ivory

I have the cutest cousins! Siriusly, my uncle John’s kids are all really cute. Ashley is 5, Andrew is 4, and Natalie is 2. Natalie’s in the very talkative stage. She’ll just sit there and jabber away at you. She’s also very independent. Tonight at family night, her mom tried to wipe up her chocolate cupcake mess and Natalie protested “No, mom! I can do it myself!” and cried when Kim took matters into her own hands. Andrew is really shy– won’t talk to me at all, but I enjoy looking at him from afar. Ashley took the Cute Prize this evening, though. It’s Andrew’s birthday this month, so he was opening presents. Our family got him a little tube full of plastic jungle animals. Ashley took it up gleefully and announced to my aunt that “I wanted to buy this at the store, but my mom said no. But now it’s okay because I got it for Andrew’s birthday!” She later told her mom that there were two of each animal. Kim was in hopes that she would say “so Andrew and I can share,” but instead she said “so I can play Noah’s Ark!”

Kids are so cute.

I passed out Sexy Read Boy bookmarks to various cousins and aunts. They were appreciative.

Mailing all of yours tomorrow. Ran out of stamps.
