Out of a box with like 100 different people in it, she picked these to go together in these rooms.

My Favorite things about B:

• Nothing makes her happier than to give a BIG hug to anyone at anytime on command
last day of school...hugging one of her friends good-bye
• Nearly every morning, after I get dressed, she says, "Mommy, sooooo cute!" 
• When it's time to fix her hair, she goes and gets me her brush, comb, hairspray, water spray bottle, and detangler and goes directly to her hair fixing spot (I, of course, provide the start-shaped sprinkles for her to keep her still)
• She's a GREAT helper and so good about cleaning up!!
• she can make Chandler laugh harder than anyone else
• ALWAYS in the mood for a dance party
