This is a old photo of Mimi after she has climbed the tree in our neighbohood park. At this point in her life she is in transition. On some days she likes to be a girl and wear dresses. She pointed out to mama yesterday, she wants to let her hair grow as long as Samantha's hair. On other days she still prefers to be a tomboy and climb trees and wear a ponytail. Yesterday was one of those days.
The weather yesterday was absolutely gorgeous. Little Liam (Erin's brother) had his 3rd birthday party in the park. Mama actually got sunburned and did not know till she went to take a shower last night.
Mimi was having a grand time running around and playing with the other kids there. Must have been around 16 or 17 kids from the ages of 5 and under. All of a sudden mama heard some yelling from the tree. It was Mimi yelling "mama, I can't get down!!!" Mama yelled back "Yes you can! You got up there, you can get down! You do it all the time!"
While all of this was going on, mama was getting some pretty strange looks from the other moms in the park. They could not for the life of them figure out why mama was yelling at the tree, and thought that I must have lost my mind till I told them Mimi was up the tree. They then all breathed a sigh of relief.
Mimi then shimmied down the tree as fast as she got up there hence the gymnastic classes. ;-)
There's a new sheriff in town and she's a mighty mean look'in too. Ya better watch y're P's and Q's around here or sheriff Mimi may throw ya in jail or so she says. Now a days it seems like everyone is going to jail in our household. There's no exceptions.
