June's favorite things, August 2010

Rainbows, hearts and all things purple (could you write this about any 4-year-old girl?)

Kid gum (aka Starburst)

Sharing kid gum - "just a teensy bit, Mama, don't worry" - with her brother

Drawing pictures of our house. This one shows me in my office in the attic. She's in the window on the left. Kean is the other face (she forgot to draw a window around him) and Daddy is outside. The square at the bottom is Pepper's "dog door." She saw a pet door at our friend's house and obviously thinks we need one too.

Watching cooking shows (Giada is her favorite)

Asking me to make the food she sees on the cooking shows

Pretending to make the food she sees on the cooking shows ("...then you sprinkle a little salt on the tomato and top it with fresh cheese. Awesome!!!")

Wearing mismatched flip-flops

Braiding her hair (unless I'm doing it)

Successfully tricking her brother into giving up a toy by pretending that there's something even better for him someplace else ("Kean, don't you want that cool choo-choo train over there?")

And doing funny, silly things all day long!

Update: June just heard this list and told me I forgot some:

Making funny faces at her brother

Going to swim lessons (this from a girl who wouldn't go near the water when a boy lifeguard was her teacher for three weeks. All is well in the world now that she has a girl lifeguard.)

Making beautiful pictures for her mom

Listening to Itsy, Teeny, Weeny, Yellow Polka-dot Bikini

Helping mama do her chores
