packing up

Julianna's buddy Kayleigh gave her the cutest little backpack and Julianna just LOVES to wear it! She fills it full of toys, books & games, slings it on her shoulders, and totes it around the house.


Last night she and Grandma had a sleepover (our visitors have been staying at our neighbors' empty apartment, right across from our place). Julianna was so excited to pack up her backpack for the big evening out. Her packing list included: Jing Jing (her stuffed panda), a stack of books, her new dominoes game, her reindeer pajamas (so she and Grandma could match) and her chapstick. With a little prompting she added a toothbrush and then scurried off to find her sleeping bag.


As a mom who travels (a little too frequently), I'm glad to see that she likes to pack! Maybe I can recruit her help the next time we head out of town :)

Too cute! If you're going to get Julianna to help you pack, you'll have to teach her some tricks on how to pare down - she looks like she could topple backwards from the weight!

I''m sure Grandma enjoyed it as much as Julianna. Marilyn

A picture is worth a thousand words...Julianna's smile says it all...wish we could have seen Grandma's smile, too. Sleepovers are the best! Val
