I know I will say this for the rest of her life but I can't believe how grown up my little girl is sometimes. As she put it, she was so recently a "little tiny baby actually". She's so often like a teenager these days: she talks back, deliberately challenges almost every parental wish, and doesn't like to be awakened in the morning. I already think of her wedding and the toast i'll give to her and some guy who will never be worthy of my little girl. Schuyler is a strong-willed little person who definitely knows what she wants. Her favourite colour appears to be purple. She's really loving Where The Wild Things Are which both she and her Dad discovered for the first time ("I like this book, Daddy. Yes, I really do."). She really digs yoghurt. And green beans. Sometimes together. Any interesting shaped bread attracts her (eg. hot dog buns). She'll eat spoonfuls of olive tapenade on its own. She takes care of her dolls Dee Dee and Alexandra. She builds forts and loves playing hide and seek.
