Kids With No Heads

Solee and I walk into the Gap Outlet the other day in Park City. After many hopeless attempts to keep her entertained while I shopped, I tried one more time, pointed to some mannequins and said "Look Solee! Kids with no heads!"
She froze.
"Kids with no heads?" She said.....apparently that interested her.
I laughed and began to look around. Then I noticed that she was still by the mannequins. I went over to observe and found her kissing and hugging them, dancing with them, and telling them stories. I asked her what she was doing and she said "Playing with my friends".
It was time to leave so I told her she had to tell her friends goodbye, "Take our picture Mom. Take our picture please!"
So I did. I was a little embarrassed, taking pictures of mannequins, but that's what the kid wanted. She gave them each one last hug and kiss and then we went on our way. 
I am really excited that this kid is going to have a sibling soon. I think she needs one. 


She's just so gosh darn friendly, especially to amputees.

I thought you were going to freak her out telling her there were some kids with no heads. What are you, a psycho mom? Just kidding-you are dang funny and you know I love you.
