L.E.


This is two-year-old L.E. We call her L.E., but her initials stand for Lynda Elaine. She is named for her two grandmothers. This little girl is full of personality. I call her the "Quiet Tornado". She is sweet, all smiles, full of love, hugs and kisses. She has a quiet way about her, but don't let that fool you. She can do more damage than most boisterous, loud kids. But she does do it with a smile. One of her greatest talents is that she wraps every male in the room right around her tiny little finger. Especially her Daddy and her Grandpa. She just puts her arms around their neck and hugs them and kisses them and they will give her whatever she wants. They just melt.
In the picture above where L.E. is sitting on the sink, she had just got up from what we thought was a nap. But she used this quiet time wisely to explore and find fun things to do. Well, she found a jar of vaseline. It was a fairly large jar. She not only had vaseline all over her hands and her face and in her hair, but the "Pack and Play" and the carpet had a nice greasing down too. But how can you be mad at that face. We just laughed and now when she takes a nap we choose a room that is fairly kid safe.
Speaking of naps, last time they were here Kayce took her in and laid by her to get her to go to sleep. Kayce was a little tired herself. L.E. tickled her back and pretty much soothed her mother to sleep. Did LE. sleep? What do you think?
As L.E. is learning to talk she has some really cute things she does to communicate. She will ask for something and if you can understand what she really wants, when you hit on it, she will say "Yea". She always says thank-you for everything.
L.E. is unafraid. She never balks at anything. She and her cousin, Dalley, just hit it off really good. When they are together they don't need anyone else. They talk, play, and pretty much entertain each other. But they become twin tornados. And these tornados aren't quiet. So the best thing to do with those two is to get them outside in the wide open space. It is much safer that way.
But oh, this girl has my heart. I have to admit she melts me too. She can do no wrong in my eyes. I adore her.
Love ya L.E.,
Grandma
