Our foster daughter is 3 years old and as cute as a button. She enjoys playing with all the new toys she has at our house and most of all she enjoyes trying to help be a mommy for baby Audrey. She walks all over the house with her dolly on her hip and my old cell phone on her ear "talking" it makes me think maybe I talk on the phone too much...lol. She also loves to play with Bohdan who is ALMOST 3 years old as well and so play time can get a little rough.

Curly Sue is all girl! She LOVES wearing pretty clothing and if it has sparkles or jems on it...all the better. She always wants to have a bow in her hair and play dress up. She can still play hard outside and is okay with getting a little dirty, but she HATES spiders, most bugs and snakes...A LOT!

Yesterday she and Boh played outside for most of the day. It was a little wet, but they were having a blast. At one point she tipped over the kids basketball net to find lots of little worms under it. At this point she has terror in her eyes, and I have never seen a child move so fast. Her goal was to get inside as quickly as she could, however she is also one of the most clumsy child I have ever met. So in the process on getting in the house she fell twice, and ran into a chair. As badly as i felt that she was so scared it was really very funny to watch...since all this time she is also SCREAMING, SNAKES! SNAKES! SNAKES!

it took me a while to have her show me where she THOUGHT a snake might be, which made me laugh since it was only at that point that I realized she was seeing worms. I tried to talk to her about worms and that those are what fish and birdies eat...yadda yadda...she was not too sure I was right. In fact for a while she ever did everything humanly possible to play outside as far away from the snake-worms as she could...I finally did hold her hand and make her get closer and check the little guys out, I still think she thinks I really don't know what I am talking about.

To add to the moment, Bohdan who is as much a boy as she is a girl, is checking out the worms and ALMOST touching them, as she is saying, "NO BOHDAN, NO, SNAKES!"
