"Tell me a story"

It all started with comparing my baby pics to A's.  Believe it or not, I had quite the chubby cheeks and multiple chins.  Well, E saw a picture of me at about 1.5 years-old covered in spaghetti.  She wanted to know what had happened.  So, I made up a tale about how I made a mess of my dinner and G'ma and G'pa had to clean me all up.  She loved the story...and thus began this phase of storytelling.    I repeated the spaghetti story numerous times.  Then, I decided that I needed to remember some other stories to entertain her.  I have been racking my brain to come up with stories that I remember and that she can relate to.  I'm finding that I don't have a great memory, but the more I think, the more I remember.  It is actually pretty fun reminiscing down memory lane with her.  She loves stories about me having the chicken poxes, my dogs, my bunnies and Aunt Stacey. 

My favorite part of the reminiscing is when she crawls up into my lap, or into bed with me, and says, "Let's cuddle.  Will you tell me a story about you when you were little?"  Its so adorable!  Just makes my heart melt!

She also likes stories about when she was a baby or when G'pa was a baby...but I don't really know many about G'pa.   I keep telling her to ask him, but she doesn't remember at G'ma and G'pa's house.
