Welcome to Ponyville!

Almost three years later, and I still never cease to marvel at how perfectly Linzi fits and the little traits that we share. One more thing we share is our love of animals. Next to my children, animals are most precious to me. From the day she came home, Linzi has loved our pets and has never shown any fear of any animal. She is always kind and gentle and empathetic. But now, she has taken it one step further. Not only does she love animals, but she thinks she is a PONY!

Linzi has developed a passion (more like obsession!) for ponies! She loves all things ponies and is developing quite a collection. She also spends so much of her day pretending to BE a pony, that she forgets she is a little girl! She is almost always on all fours and clippity clops throught the house all the time. We have a lot of tile and she has the clippity clop sound down pat. It really does sound like a pony is trotting through our house! If I ask her to stand up, she stands up but holds her hands (I mean hooves) like a pony doing tricks. It has become such second nature to her, I have to REMIND her when we are out of the house to act like a little girl, not a pony! Walking in the mall on all fours (ewwww!) just isn't gonna happen with this momma.

As if all that is not enough of imagination overload, she WILL NOT wear clothes at home - because DUH! PONIES DON'T WEAR CLOTHES! :0 All those cute summer clothes are wasting away in the closet. At least she will wear her panties, but that is where she draws the line. I would post pics, but I don't want to exploit my little girl (umm, I mean my little pony). :)

Oh, and if you ask her what her name is, she'll tell you something like "Wind Whistler", "Shady", or "Lickety Split" or just plain "Pony".

I just LOVE her imagination. Never a dull moment! I just love this age.
