Joann has been asking me daily, "Mom, what can I do for you?" I just love how thoughtful and sweet she is. She makes everything so much fun. I love how she stands at the top of the stairs every morning and shouts, "Mom, is it morning?" Apparently, it's not morning until I say so! She dances every day. She loves to listen to the Nutcracker and do "ballet" while wearing her Snow White costume. Joann will color for hours. When I leave her at the playplace at the gym, they always tell me afterwards, "She colored for a long time." What an attention span. Art class is her favorite at preschool. She gets very focused. She's really excited about having a sister, and about naming her "Princess Aurora." At the ultrasound, she was absolutely unsurprised to find out it was a girl. She just knew. I can't wait for their friendship to grow. She often sings and talks to the baby, which I adore. Lately, she's named two of her footy pjs, "Snuggle pajamas," and will climb into our laps for snuggles at night. Since she's not naturally snuggly, I make sure those pjs are clean every night. Every one who meets Joann is impressed, partly because she looks like a baby and talks like an adult. We are headed out to visit family in two days, and I can't wait for her to see her cousins and grandparents.
