I bought a little book at a garage sale the talks about feelings. Its a really cute little story that follows a frog around and each page has a different feeling. I feel happy when... I feel frustrated when... silly etc... Well on the I feel sad page the little frog feels sad when his new balloon floats up in the sky. After I finished the book Grace was just sobbing, real tears and everything. I said what is the matter and she said he lost his balloon, like dad lost my balloon. She cried and cried for a good 20 minutes.
(Being a little mean it was so hard not to laugh at her.. I said, "hit a little too close to home?") When Mike came home from work I told him what she had said and he was like, "When did I lose her balloon?" And oh the memory of a two year old - when we had Easter pictures with the cousins back in early April.
So that night Mike went and bought Grace a balloon - you can see how she loves balloons, and how tightly she is gripping the streamer it's tied to, there was no way she was losing another!

That is so funny she remembered and cried like that! How sweet of Mike to go buy her a new one. Is that what I have to look forward to, all the emotions?
They really do remember so many things! What an awesome dad for going and getting her a new balloon!
