Wild Sunshine

Ayvri Belle - our little Twinkers, Stinker, or Tinkerbell.  What a little ray of sunshine.  The other night for her Mommy minute she wanted to have a photo-shoot. My immediate reaction was to want to pull out the comb, squirt bottle and elastics and quickly tame her unruly mane in order to take her picture.  Then I thought better of it.  This little girl LOVES to run wild.  It's in her nature, she'd spend all day in cut-off shorts and a sparkly faded t-shirt catching frogs and talking to herself.  She is the epitome of FREE SPIRIT!  So we grabbed the camera and went outside barefoot.

Ayvr is such a sweet tender heart.  From the time she was little whenever she gets in trouble for something she cries.  She can't help it.  She loves to be held and cuddle and touching is definitely her love language.  She's a very physical being :) 

Ayvri is a friend to everyone.  She has no requirements for her friendship and literally loves everyone when she meets them.  Her heart is wide open.

 Ayvri enjoys life.  She can literally get a kick out of almost everything and takes her time doing it.  She is never in a hurry (except to get to the bathroom) and can always find something wonderful or magical about her surroundings.

I love it when she talks to herself - which happens quite regularly.  She loves to dance and play and is the queen of giggling uncontrollably.  She's always had the best little smile - and now it's even better.

This is what she looked like when we got home from Family Reunion.

And this is what she looks like now, a week later.  In fact, two of those missing teeth came out the night before school.  One because it was ready, the other because she desperately wanted them to "match" for school.   

Another came out just a few days later and now her smile makes me smile, even more.
