crowns.

i had lunch with my sister, my aunt and my niece, eden, today. eden wore a crown. not because it was her birthday. or a holiday. or because she is a princess. she wore it because she made it yesterday and she loved it and she's 2, so she can do that sort of thing.

when we sat down at the table she said, "oh, a girl date!" because, you know, no boys were there.

and then she proceeded to eat chicken fingers like they were manna from heaven. and sometimes, she'd take a big bite of catsup with her fork. because she loves catsup.

she is such a bright spot. and reminds me that life is about finding happiness in the simple things. like catsup and crowns.
