60/365 Flash back on the first....March 4th, 2006

Don't let the smile fool you. ;) By this age she had earned the very fitting nickname of Stitch and could destroy a pantry in the time it took to change a load of laundry or her baby sister's diaper. She also had an affinty for climbing monkey like through the kitchen cupboards and had already been found swinging from the living room curtains on more than one occassion. Her favourite food was sushi, she almost never wore clothing (at home...which required a certain degree of parental vigilance to enforce in public) and she could point out the directions to her favourite place in the world - the Edmonton Mall. Once we got close she would shriek "turn here!!! turn here!!!" at the top of her lungs, giddy with the anticipation of riding escalators and peering into the fishtanks at T&T superstore.. She approached life with gusto and truly believed that the world was a beautiful place. In her eyes, there were no strangers, only friends she hadn't met yet.
