When she was laying down in the bathtub, she said, "Mom, this nice warm water is helping my polka dots go away."
"Those are called goosebumps, honey."
"Oh...I'm gonna call them polka dots."
This coming from a girl who is NEVER cold...keeping socks and bed covers on her is a challenge - even in winter! So, when she's chilly, you know she's not feeling well.
Thought I'd also share a layout today...a recent favorite.
Remember this photo from this year's Czech Days celebration? Well, I finally got it scrapped!

Journaling:
Oh, how you love to dance, little girl!
This year, while waiting to find out the results of the Czech Days Kiddie Parade, they played all kinds of fun songs for the children (and a few brave adults) to boogie down to on the park lawn…the Hokey Pokey, the Bunny Hop, the Macarena.
I caught you in the act and this has to be one of my favorite shots of you of all time…your happy expression, the costume, your arms at your side and your little foot up in dance. I hope you never stop dancing, little one!
Comments & Techniques:
The photo was edited in Photoshop to have a ‘watercolor’ look using instructions from Jessica Sprague's Computer Tricks for Scrapbookers. The curved patterned paper adds a sense of movement to the layout and mimics the idea of dancing in the photo. The edge of the layout is actually the scallop-edged paper (the black is the background on which I took the photo).
