Eating out of her hands....

I remember thinking that Olivia was so strong willed at 3 years old! Whew! She challenged me. She pushed me. She exhausted me. Then....I had Caroline! Olivia is mild and complacent in comparison! Caroline defines strong willed. She has a fierce temper, but also a fierce loving spirit. She knows what she wants and accepts no less. She is a leader. And...she has people and dogs eating out of her hands!

Caroline is a Daddy's girl. She thinks he hung the moon. She squeals and runs for the door when he comes home from work. It thrills him, of course. She has her Daddy wrapped. She also has her Mimi wrapped. She asks for something and then says "Call Mimi". Hilarious! She seems to think that Mimi is her fairy godmother. (I have another fairy godmother story that I'll save for another post). I asked Caroline if she thinks Mimi will buy her something if we call her and Caroline says, "If I say so". That girl!

Well, now we have this sweet dog, Daisy. She is really Olivia's dog since Olivia prayed for her (another blog soon). But, we have all fallen for Daisy. Caroline has Daisy eating out of her hands....literally. When we go out to feed her, Caroline sits down and puts Daisy's food bowl between her legs, scoops up some dog food into her hands and Daisy eats that way. She gently takes the food right out of Caroline's hands! She doesn't gobble. She doesn't nip. She just takes whatever Caroline offers her. It's so sweet.

Caroline is a Daddy's girl....but she has her Mommy's heart (and temper)!
