I have Alice with me always. She goes to work with me, she takes over my yoga mat, she eats what I eat, she’s even started talking like me.
“Alice, can you sing for me?”
“Sure! I will! I will sing for you tomorrow…”
I take her with to visit our grandparents, and I had to snap this picture of her helping Grandpa check his oxygen levels.
In fact, I have to share a lot of pictures of Alice with you because where I go, she goes. And where I and she go, my camera goes. Sad Kid Face is just irresistible.
Mud is the worst!
To be fair, there’s one other person Alice latches onto -she’s a natural extension of Grandpa Hansen. She keeps him in line and wears him out.
The Dorothy Dress is her latest favorite. She loves to cook with me, and this moment is precious. Dress up clothes, an apron, mismatched boots (who needs ruby slippers?) and crazy hair!
The only person who loves cooking with me more than Alice does is Lacy Lou. For years, Lacy’s been on my counter. I even have pictures of her on our kitchen counter in the very dress Alice is wearing. We love us some Dorothy around here, though Lacy has graduated from being a helper to an assistant chef. Sometimes she will cook an entire meal! She loves it.
Dorothy takes selfies! If I ever want a picture of myself and the kids, I take it myself! Alice has taken note:
