PawPaw's Girl

As you may know, Presley stays with us most days. She is almost 20 months old and we sure enjoy keeping her. She is growing up fast (not in size particularly) but is talking a lot and we are teaching her enough bad habits to get her into trouble at home! She will eat almost anything and seems to have a particular fondness for green olives, beets, pretzels, BeBe's chocolate and PawPaw's pecans! We have to limit a few of those items.

We brought her a bear backpack from Silverton, Colorado and she likes to carry around her collection of bugs in it! Yes, Presley likes bugs, now. At first, she was so afraid of anything that even looked like a bug, but now she has a collection of plastic spiders, lady bugs and grasshoppers (maybe she got that from her Uncle Jordan!). Presley also likes to dance---fast and furious. We had a little video of her dancing, but for some reason we couldn't get it to upload, so we might add it later. She is the highlight of our days.

She is sick tonight and running fever. We are praying that it isn't the flu. We are all pretty aware of washing hands and staying out of crowds, but there is so much sickness here these days, it will be hard to avoid it completely. When Taylor comes in from school, he has learned to go directly to the bathroom and wash his hands. You can hear him singing through not one, but two choruses of Happy Birthday to be sure he washes them long enough!

Here are a few pictures of PawPaw's girl. She is a PawPaw's girl, but she loves her BeBe, too! But, if you ask her, "Are you PawPaw's girl?, she'll say "Un, huh!" That is hard to take!
