Most of Marcelle's outfits make me wish that we were the same size so that we could share clothes. One day....one day! However, everything looks cute on someone who's only 2 feet tall, and looks slightly less so on someone who is much bigger, coming in just over....5 feet. Dressing her has proven to be one of my morning highlights. Waking up in the 6 o'clock hour continues to not make that list. Deciding between her leopard print pants (yes, she owns two pairs), her skinny jeans, her various collection of striped pants or her workout gear is not easy. Add to that her amazing collection of handmade French sweaters (thank you Aunt Jacqueline, Cousin Isabelle and Paulette!), and her navy leather shoes and she ends up looking just like a doll. Which brings me to....the yellow rain slicker (thank you Holly, Jack's student teacher!), which is also one of my preferred outer garments. Her father and mother both have a slight obsession with jackets so it's par for the course that she has 3 sweet choices, all of them totally endorsed by Paddington Bear. And on days like today, the yellow rain slicker wins. Other important points of discussion for tonight: Marcelle had her first burrito bite this evening... like a real human bite, where she looked at Jack's burrito, made eye contact with him that it looked tasty and leaned towards it with her mouth open. She didn't use words but it could not be clearer that she better get a bite or we were in for a lecture. Since she lives in a household where burritos are a regular conversation point, it was a proud moment for both parents to see her eagerly request a taste. "About time Fleur!" Meanwhile, I was cooking zucchini, a favorite of Baby Girl's.
Her favorites currently include:
- owls (Mr Hibou is her BFF whom she sleeps with nightly, but she has a few others in her bedroom as well.....spirit animals maybe?)
- raspberries
- yogurt
- chowfun noodles
- broccoli
- eggs
- small colorful square objects
- Russian stacking dolls
-toothbrush & hairbrush
- song "L'ile en l'eau", track #13 from "her" CD.
- counting the ten crabs on the Fisherman's Warf page in "Good night SF"
- bath time
- baby swings
- running around naked before bath
- rocking chair lounging in grandma's arms
- neighborhood stroller rides
- the TV remote

This is a gem! It is truly a wonderful account (dressing, eating, favorite things) which we (us, her fan club) will treasure and talk about for years and years. Well, I certainly will, I'm printing it right away and posting it in the village market place today!
