Ten Things You May Not Know About Molly


1. Her memory is impressive. Even when there are no pictures to jog her brain, Molly remembers things we did up to 2 and even 3 years ago. Considering she is only 5, this is remarkable.
2. She knows all the dance moves to Gabriella's solo song in "High School Musical."
3. She does not like to sleep alone. While Rebecca would be perfectly satisfied to have her own bed, Molly wants her to sleep with her on "the big bed" (guest room bed).
4. The girl who once ate everything we offered her will now only eat a few things. At a wedding last night, for example, she ate croutons, strawberries and a roll. No cake. No chicken.
5. Her feet are getting bigger everyday. Literally. Shoes that fit fine yesterday are blister-producing tight today.
6. She loves to wear skirts and dresses but hates tights. This has been a struggle during the cold months.
7. She wants to be an artist when she grows up.
8. She made a list for me last week of "all the things I want to do in Memphis" in terms of lessons and classes. The list included basketball, t-ball, girl scouts, flute lessons, piano lessons, art classes and acting. I think I need to get a job that pays more, and they need to add some days to the week.
9. She is an outstanding big sister, comforting Rebecca when she is sad, teaching her everything she knows, helping her accomplish new tasks, playing games with her.
10. She's hilarious. We were watching "30 Minute Meals with Rachael Ray" on the Food Network recently. Rachael was boiling water. As the bubbles began, Rachael said, "Oh, look at that beautiful boil!" And Molly said, "What's beautiful about water!?"
