Yesterday in her kindergarten class Lauren decorated her own gingerbread house, and she loves it. She carried it home so carefully, two hands and her steady gaze on it the whole way. We found a place for it in the dining room.
Last night some friends had the girls over for a Christmas party and sent them home with Peep Christmas tree party favors. Ella asked for hers as soon as we were in the car. I asked Lauren if she wanted me to open hers and she said, "Actually, I'm not going to eat them." She didn't say another word until we got home and I found her very thoughtfully placing her three Peep trees outside of her house.
"That looks great," I told her.
"I know," she said, smiling.
"And I still have Audrey's package of Peeps, so when she eats those trees we have more to replace them."
She laughed, "Good idea!"
I watched her as she stood and admired it all for a minute or two, and then ran up to bed.
