PrairieDawn at almost two

Sometimes, I get a super lucky day to have a grandchild one on one, and a few weeks ago I got to watch PrairieDawn. Her family went swimming and she is still too small to enjoy being in the pool, and besides, Grammy's willing! 

I just heard a most wonderful thing about our PrairieDawn's name; a good friend and very spiritual teacher told me that she has an affirmation inspired by this sweet baby's name. 

My friend likes to start out her day by saying:

 'I will live my day so that it is as peaceful and beautiful as the prairie is at dawn.' 

We played with the doll house. She carried around her pink purse. She happily sat in the high chair watching while I baked cookies and even more happily sampled them for me. 

We  snuggled on the couch reading stories and practicing our animal sounds. She's pretty good at meowing. 

We practiced where our eyes are located and our noses. And fingers and toes.

And a movie about puppies was enthralling. 

Then while one of us was being such a very good girl, the other one of us decided to have a little photo shoot. The really good babygirl knows how to work it!

 

This was her 'oh Grammy's got the camera out' expression.

Then she went for her half smile~

And who can resist the sweet head cocked to the side? 

Then the playful 'I won't look directly at the camera.'

Now it's a serious thoughtful look~

Moving into 'yes I know I'm cute and snuggly'.

But Grammy's hands down favorite is this one. 

Our adorable grandbabygirl.
