Brooke has become an artist of sorts; she can dissect cheese from the crust on cheese sticks like nothing you've ever seen. Not sure why she wants the cheese and not the crust? She doesn't get near as excited when I buy her plain ol string cheese. She'll eat the crust eventually if we sit at the table long enough and her cheese dissection techniques are both intriguing and masterful. Last night, we ate at Applebee's where she has become an addict to their combination sampler appetizer. She loves spinach/artichoke dip and it seems to be the "thing" with her right now. She seemed more on a mission though last night to extract every last bit of cheese from the 4 cheesesticks that came with the appetizer. Let me say, it was the stringiest cheese we have ever seen! I was sitting by her and she kept flinging pieces on me and her elbow kept hitting me in her mad efforts to extract the cheese. Odd. And funny to watch. She handles her cheese dissection skills with the precise of a master diamond cutter. What a funny girl!
Yesterday Briana turned 20 (where has time gone??)so we called her on the speakerphone so Brooke could sing Happy Birthday to her. Birthday's have become a really big deal with Brooke lately. She's always liked them, but she keeps wanting to buy birthday cakes and have parties for people who aren't having a birthday. She loves the whole celebration thing. It's cute. Back in July, when we were in Albuquerque for two days of doctor's appointments, Brooke insisted we buy a princess birthday cake (with cupcakes) for Uncle Rick. So we did, and we sang to him, and had a party. His birthday is in October! What can you say...here's a child who enjoys the fun things in life and wants nothing more than to spend time with family and friends.
Have a nice day friends!
