A wonderful date

     Today was just wonderful. It was picture day at Catalina's daycare, so she got to wear nice clothes, even though it was mighty cold outside. So when she woke up, she asked me immediately to give her the nice dress that I had ironed for her the night before. She behaved wonderfully (even at breakfast time!), she let me put two piggy tails and a nice pink bow in her hair. I felt I am 14 again and I am playing with dolls, it's just that this time my doll was also sharing hugs, kisses and smiles. Not a bad deal at all! She looked wonderful, and we'll have the professional proof soon enough :).

   Today was also her 3 yo doctor visit. I was a little worried they will press me again about vaccines, so when I picked Catalina up from day care I did not have my spirits quite up. But there she was, dancing with colored ribbons and running in my arms to tell me that she did smile for the picture. So, I got a very big smile on my face also. And, what do you know, Catalina LOVES the doctors. She was all smiles, she danced on the floor and happily took the gown as a Cinderella dress. Well, she looks gorgeous in both :)

    The doctor verdict was simple and very much in line with what I believe about my daughter. She is perfect! So, the doctor said it also, it must be true :)

Since the doctor visit stretched a little too long, instead of taking Catalina back to day care for lunch, we had lunch together at out family's favorite spot. We got a yummy soup and a sandwich. She got so many compliments waiting in line! Her face was all smiles and she looked like a piece of sunshine. Yes, I felt very proud at being her mama.

So, I had a one to one date with my daughter :)

She was the best! Her table manners were impeccable. Not one drop of soup spilled. She entertained me with stories about her friends and about her adventures. And in the end she told me she's tired. So we hoped in the car and went to day care, so my cute little button can dream about flowers and princesses.
