OK this is not a good photo. It is really blurry. And it doesn't come anywhere close to doing justice to the huge, blue, "bear paws" mittens that Jill gave Anna for Christmas. That I nearly have to physically pry off of Anna's body at bedtime.
(The good news: spring is coming soon.
The bad news: I am quite sure they'll fit her next year.)
But as a mom (much less the bad photographer) I am able to ignore photo quality and just love her in her hood, scarf, and Dora sunglasses. I find the whole thing vaguely To Catch a Thief, minus the French Riviera, the convertible, and of course, Cary Grant. Details.
At any rate--some fun lines delivered by the princess herself while walking with Mommy in the bitter cold:
- Anna asked me about all the little white rocks on the ground.
I told her they were salt, and tried to explain how that helps melt the ice. Without actually being 100% sure myself.
So I complete my big explanation and she looks up at me and says "OK... well... then what does pepper do?" - A sign of too much Blue's Clues?
"Mommy, look--I'm going to skadoo into that puddle!" - Right now Anna is very interested in knwing what direction we're going when we walk places. She's seen the compass rose on her map puzzles and she knows that the 'S' is South, and it is always at the bottom.
So we're walking down a gentle slope on Riverside Drive heading towards some playground and Anna proudly announces: "Mommy, we're walking south! South is down."
