Alaska's birthday day! Her saggy bottom diaper this morning was so endearing as she ran down the hall, hefting it up as she went. We shared lots of hugs and kisses this morning and after a melt-down at 11:30 I put her down for an early nap. She had a couple of friends coming over for a play date after lunch and they all played so well I was able to clear out two cupboards and the washer and dryer space. I could have done more but I got conned into playing their 'time machine' game. It was really sweet and we went so far back in time that we skipped the desert and went to Daniel and the Lions den. That was pretty funny.
Last night we had a missionary fireside for young womens. It was so perfect and sweet, exactly what every girl needs. We have two sets of sister missionaries in the ward right now and both sets were able to make it last night and explained how their days go and their weeks and what to pack and what not to pack and what kind of clothes are allowed and which aren't. And then, as any good girl conversation does, it turned to boys and whether any of the male missionaries they knew were cute. It was so sweet to see them giggle and laugh with the girls, although they never did say whether any boy was cute or not, they pointed out how much more attractive boys are who honor their priesthood and even more, those that work hard and use their priesthood for good. How their perceptions of what is cute has changed.
This girls ate every bit of it up and I thought it was a great activity. One of the senior girls had prepared it as her senior project combined with going out a few times with the missionaries.
