Yesterday, Eleanor was playing Barbies and conducting a rather sweet little dialogue with herself:
Eleanor: I love my Barbie… She was the BEST present.
Me: [Awww! She loves her Christmas present…she’s actually grateful for the things we give her. Maybe this is a step toward not demanding more all the time…]
Eleanor: My Barbie is the BEST present I EVER picked out for myself.
Oh.
Well – she comes by it honestly. Here’s to a new generation of discerning women who would rather pick out their own presents.

OMG she's so funny and cute! I could just squeeze her all day long.
There is a reason God gave you two boys and only one girl.
Discerning women choosing their own gifts–it's an epidemic. She's adorable!
She's so adorable it doesn't matter who picked out her Barbie.
At least Christmas shopping will be easy this year! p.s. she is SO cute!
Did she know you were listening? Is this a subtle (and quite advanced) way of letting you know she wants to pick her presents from now on? I've got one of those too. Got. To. Pick. Everything. Herself.
Oh, I love her!
Just thinking about that made me smile:) What a cutie.
She's such a little beauty…..a spunky little beauty! LOl
Wow, that pic puts the P in princess. Good luck.
She is soo beautiful.
Way to go, Eleanor! I'm with her…to picking out our own presents!
