Bye Bye 2007!

We arrived home this afternoon after a pretty easy day of traveling, and as soon as we stepped into the house Sylvie went right to her dollhouse, not missing a beat. Sylvie needs a little help posing the doll figures, but she gave me very specific instructions on where to place each member of the doll family. First she decided that the little boy should sit at the kitchen table. Next she wanted the mommy to cook dinner. Next we placed the little girl on the couch, playing with the puppy. And last but not least, Sylvie announced that the daddy was "pooping". So on the toilet he went! I can't believe she's not even 2 yet and is already picking up on gender stereotypes. Yikes!

And a (slightly blurry) close-up of the happy little sweetie pie:

And with that, it's time to say goodbye to 2007. It's been such a terrific year, my favorite one yet! I can't even articulate how happy and blessed I feel to have John and Sylvie in my life, and all of my amazing family and friends. I know exactly how lucky I am. I hope each one of you has a safe and fun New Year's Eve, and a healthy and happy 2008. And in the spirit of the Daily Syl, here's a quick retrospective of this past year, one of my favorite photos from each month:

Welcome back to NJ! I love all of Sylvie's pictures and am glad that she has so much fun playing with her little people in her dollhouse. Wouldn't it be a wonderful world if only ALL children could experience what she has. If they had, then this world would be a far better place. Happy New Year!
