Time traveling back to May 5th, 2007. I wrote:
I decided to keep this journal to remind me of all the wonderful memories of my absolutely fabulous daughter, Molly. We just returned from a trip to Fayetteville Arkansas last night. Toma, my unofficial brother-in-law, had an art show at a local gallery in Fayetteville. His show was an instant success. He sold more than half of his paintings by the end of the night. I wasn't too surprised because his work is amazing.
Everyone who met Molly fell in love with her instantly. She became friends with Heidi, the gallery pup, and they played amongst the art seekers all night. Maybe I should tell you about Molly. She is 2 years old. She likes to dance a lot! When asked what she wants to be when she grows up, she says she wants to be a dancer. She really has great moves and can also imitate other moves to a tee! It doesn't matter what kind of music, if she hears it, she's dancing! As I write, she is dancing in the living room to Shiny Happy People by REM!
For the past few weeks I've been asking her what kind of birthday party she wants, and she consistently says, "A BALLERINA ONE!!!" Her favorite color is pink. She has a cabbage patch doll she calls Holly Dolly, whom she loves dearly, and a handmade doll made by a friend named Molly Dolly. She names the rest of her dolls Baby Peanut. She wears tutus every single day. She is MY daughter, and she is so amazing.
