Around Christmas time Anja started asking her daddy to buy her a motorized pink Cadillac. It was a cool $350 bucks, he said no. She tried papa, he said no. She even tried grandma and she said no. So she waited and finally, this summer she got her wish-- thanks to aunt Kristin and a very generous cousin Nadia who was willing to pass on her favorite pink and purple Barbie jeep.
So when I go out to work in the yard, Anja and Ella (formally known as BeBe but has been renamed Ella for the past six months) follow me out, get strapped in and make the rounds. Anja feels so grown up and cool. Good thing she has a cool aunt!
Being the oldest child, there are plenty of baby pictures of me at my parents house so I have a pretty good idea of what I looked like as a child. This morning I put Anja's hair up in braids and when she turned and looked at me I had to do a double take-- I could have swore I was looking in a mirror 33 years ago. I had to look twice to see if Amy Robinson was standing behind her. I know there is some Coombs in her, but right now it's all Bywater, for good or bad.
