Amara Our Little Ladybug!

Amara was born in July just like her mama, her bop, her great grandma Maye, her great great Grandmother McComas and a few other relatives.  We have lots of July birthdays in the family.  She was almost born on my mother's birthday, just a couple of days before.  My mother did not get to meet Amara but I can tell you she would have love, love, loved this little Ladybug!  That we started calling her Ladybug when she was no bigger than a minute is ironic because there is no other symbol that fits her better.  She lights up a room when she comes in and she flits from one place to another.  She's never still and very seldom is she quiet.

She is tiny in many ways, but she is taller than 85% of the other kids her age.  You never know what she is going to say.  She loves roll play.  She is always the mother.  She likes to pretend she is talking on a cell phone, wonder who she has seen doing that.   She loves her purses.  Of course she used to go into my bedroom and pick the biggest, heaviest purse she could find and drag it out.  Now she has her own purses.  He Bop spoils her rotten.  He has even bought her, her own purple coach purse.  She is quite the little diva.

He favorite activity to do is go with her mom and I to get our nails done.  She sits up there big as everything and puts her feet in the whirlpool, picks out a color and of course she wants flowers on her toes or poke a dots.  Then she isn't satisfied unless she gets her fingers done too.  She is very much a Girly, Girl like her mom.

He favorite color is PINK.  She also likes purple, and orange and anything that sparkles.  She does not like to wear pants at all, she should have been born in the 50's when that's all we were allowed to wear.  She loves to wear dresses and the fuller the skirt the better and please put something that sparkles on it.  She also loves the tutu's.  She also likes to wear flip flops but if you can put a little glitter and heel on them that makes them better.  She talked her Bop into dress shoes with a small heel when she was 3.  He absolutely CAN NOT tell her no.

Everywhere we go she is twirling around.  I'm sure that the adjectives I have used to describe Amara is the same ones others would use to describe their 5 year old girl too, but I have to tell you that we think this little girl is pretty special.  I just could not imagine our lives without her in them.  Oh, by the way, she hears everything and forget nothing.  I mean it.....she does not forget anything no matter how long it has been.  Well, except if you have told her to do something she does not want to.

She loves to help clean, feed Tino, cook.  She really is quite a little helper.  She loves to dust....I hate to dust.  She also loves to help fold clothes and never complains when I ask her to take Tino out.  She likes to clean in the bathroom when you have not ask her to, so if she gets to quiet you better check to see where and what she is doing.

She likes anything princess.  She watches all the Princess movies, but then she also likes movies like Up and Despicable Me.  She can entertain herself most of the time, but she can also talk you into playing with her if you are not on guard.  Her favorite place to sit is on top of her Bop, Grand pa.

She has a personality like no other.  The expressions on her face are priceless.  She charms those around her to get her way.  She can get JJ to do anything for her.  When we went to White Water last week she had complete strangers carrying her tube to the top of the slide for her.  I wish mother could have met her.  When she smiles I see my mother smiling back at me.  She definitely got my mother's smile.

Well I guess this a pretty good description of our little lady bug.  She starts Kindergarten in a week and I'm pretty sure she's going to flit right in to that classroom and keep her teacher on her toes.

Love you Amara!

Amara's 5th Birthday!
