Okay, not mine, the girls, but it still brings that song to mind. I realized recently that Hailey will be four in just a few weeks. Four years old. How has it passed so quickly? I started thinking about some of her favorite things and some of Hannah's favorite things right now and realized that some day, I'm not going to remember her favorite book at this age or Hannah's favorite meal. So, in an attempt to capture a little bit of time, here are some favorites. I'm beginning by listing past favorites that I remember (although not always a specific age) and then I'm moving on to current favorites.
