Cheese!

In her newly painted room. I said, say cheese!, and she did. She wakes up too early these days, and she still wants to go in the damned car every two seconds, but except for that, being with Maria these days is a real treat. She makes me laugh all the time. She LOVES Ryan, our friend who is painting the house. Today he was leaving and she was standing at the door, watching him go. She had said "Bye, Ryan!" like 100 times as he was leaving and after he left she stood at the door, sort of sighing and she said "I see Ryan". It's cute, and so is she.
