Katey: What I love about Meri Jane is that she is cute and so playful!
Drewby: I love Meri because she laughs a lot.
Caleb: What?
Daddy: What do you love about Meri?
Caleb: Her kisses and her hugs. She hugs like this. And sometimes she falls down and gets hurt. One time we put cushions down by a chair and we all three (Meri, Katey and Caleb) fell at the same time and we did not get hurt. So I love 4 things about Meri.
Autumn: I like Meri… because… of her smiles. She is almost always smiling and her giggles!!
Jacob: I love Meri because of her vocabulary. She is such a fast learner and will use a word like as if she’s always used it.
Josh: One word that describes Meri? Cute. Lovable. Playful.
Jacob: Um, that’s three Josh.
Josh: Is this your comment or mine?
Drewby: Hi Mom. *wave*
*And now a full-on confession about how Josh and Drewby borrow Daddy’s socks when they can’t find any. News to Daddy.*
Autumn: I also love Meri’s personality. She is so adorable.
Daddy: Meri Jane.
Meri: What?
Daddy: I love your indomitable spirit and how you find things so funny!
Meri: Kitty, kitty!
Mommy: Meri is always up for a challenge or adventure. She is also a very good memorizer and expresses herself and feelings so well. My favorite is when she jumps in the air and says “Yes!!”, then crouches down again, jumps up her whole body length again and says “Yes!!”
We love having such a sweet & feisty sweetheart in our family. She can hold her own and is such a sweet cuddler and lover of long stories. She knows so many body parts including chin, elbow and bum. She also adores ice cream and knows how to get our family eating it more than we used to – little miss charmer.
Meri: Look!
