Mollie Katherine

If I could freeze time in any of my children's lives, it would be between the ages of 3 and 4. I love each phase and stage, but this one is simply magical. It is amazing to witness an imagination being born! Mollie's world is a warm, sweet place that we are all lucky to be a part of when she invites us in...which is often!

Mollie loves butterflies and caterpillars. She can tell you all about metamorphosis because she has been learning all about it in preschool. Mollie likes nature, period. She likes to play outside and make "bug restaurants" where she sets up little tables and chairs out of pine cones and acorns. She sets up a big feast of grass, leaves and flowers. It is so precious.

Mollie is generous and extremely polite. I am not exactly sure where she gets all her manners from. I mean, we try to teach our children manners, but we are usually pretty relaxed about it. Mollie just feels good when she uses hers. It may be because she truly believes she is a princess. She does curtsy when she says, "Thank you!" and she puts her hands under her chin and bats her eyelashes when she says, "Please." It's a little sugary....but that's just Mollie. She is our little sugar pie!
