Hot Stuff

Myla has a pair of pink sunglasses that she loves.  And when she puts them on, she is no longer Myla.  She is "hot stuff".  Ask her when she sees a picture of herself with sunglasses on who it is, she'll tell you.  (Can you say Hollywood?)  But its not just Myla that transforms when sunglasses are on.  Anyone - or anything - really can become "hot stuff" if they are wearing them.  "Hot stuff" mommy, "hot stuff" daddy, "hot stuff" horsey.  That's the power of sunglasses.  Bet you never knew that huh? 

Just for fun, we did an unofficial weigh and measure today.  Its been a long time - since her two year old check up in October - that we've gotten stats.  And not much has changed between then and now.  She's still under 20 pounds but she has grown half an inch to 30.5.  A flyer the doctor gave us said that they don't grow much between two and four, and she runs around A LOT, so we aren't concerned.  Just amazed that she's still right there.  I'm sure she has a growth spurt in her future.  Probably right around the time she gets an Easter dress and then won't be able to wear it for Easter.  Yeah, that sounds about right. 

Tonight, after her bath, Myla was very concerned about her fingers.  "What happened fingers Mommy?" she would ask.  When I looked to see what was wrong, I couldn't tell what she was talking about.  But she kept asking, so I looked again.  Her fingers had become pruny from playing so long with rubber ducky.  She couldn't figure out why they looked that way.  So we put a little lotion on there, we put them in front of the space heater and I told her it would be okay.  After her snack, she looked at them again and said "that's better."  See, mom's know a thing or two, even if it is just that pruny fingers will look normal again soon.
