Life's Cherished Memories: Rebecca and the Present

Live In the Moment

And I wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about, and how they sounded, and how they looked when they slept that night. I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get on to the next thing: dinner, bath, book, bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less” (Elder Ballard’s talk May, 2008 quote by Author Anna Quindlen speaking of her children)

- I put this on here to remind me to take time to enjoy the little things in life, or to enjoy the moments that make some of Life's Precious Memories.

Rebecca and the Present

I love how animated her facial expressions are. I can just see those little wheels spinning in her head.

The funny part about these first pictures is that she was so hesitant to open this present. I had just finished telling her NOT to open presents and then Aunt Jessica brought over Grandma's present that she wanted Rebecca to open right then so she could take pictures back to Grandma. Poor Rebecca seemed confused over why it was alright to open a present now.

Thinking about opening the present.

Are you sure I can open this present? I don't want to get in trouble.

She's decided it's ok.

Um...a little help here. I can't get it out.

Got it.

With no help at all the baby doll slipped right out of the box. Nice...no stupid twisties keeping it in.

She loves it.

Getting a good look at her dolly.

Do you see this face? This face is wearing the expression of a 3rd child who understands the rules of possession. DON'T let go. She also is well aquainted with the word "MINE"
