meet brooklyn...

photo brooklyn holding an old frame, look close and see my little brother when he was about her age! ps my shoes, not hers :)

every so often i get the pleasure of spending time with brooklyn and her adorable baby brother carson. brooklyn is the daughter of long time family friends. her aunt and i have been friends since we were born. (literally. we have those awkward prop two babies up next to each other pictures to prove it) spending time with brooklyn, who looks identical to her aunt at that age), is like a flash back in time. there is never a dull moment with brooklyn. sure, a lot of kids say really funny things but brooklyn is an entertainer and carson and i are the audience.

highlights of last night's "the brooklyn show":

sung while sitting on the toilet...
"i'm a big girl! i'm a tooting girl! i'm a pooping girl!" over and over and over...

me: hey brooklyn, lets walk like penquins!
after which brooklyn did a PERFECT impression of a penquin walk

after witnessing her amazing walking impressions i listed everyone i knew she knew. she walked the same for everyone except her dad she made huge steps and for aunt holly she spun around and danced as she walked.

after we sat down to rest after jumping and counting to twenty a few times she informed me it was time to do push-ups... she continued by herself. i assisted in counting.

can't wait to play again and see that cute blue-eyed boy smile :)
