Meet Ali

Hi all, I would like to introduce you all to Alexandra Nicole Eldeen Ince - and she loves to say her name even if it sounds a little different than what it is. She is my 4 year old grandaughter, and I have to say she is the most precocious little girl anyone ever could have met. Now I love her, and it's not because I have to love her because she is my grandaughter but I would love her anyhow. You can't help but not fall in love with her...but beware - she can be one tough little egg to crack. She can make even the biggest of giants quiver in their boots. She knows how to turn on the charm but also she knows how to make you feel like you are a teensy little speck on this earth. She will talk to you when SHE wants to talk to you and she will smile when SHE wants to smile. It's all on her terms...but it's one of her qualities that endears me to her. Just the other day I took her shopping (yes, I did) - clothes shopping to boot. We went to Mark's Work Warehouse and I was busy looking for some clothes to buy - I may have mentioned in a previous blog that I have lost a little weight (no I am not bragging)but I really needed some new clothes. Well after running after Ali all over the store trying to find her in her little hiding spots I finally grabbed her and said "STAY" and finally I got into a room to try some pants on. WELL that was a mistake. It was so crowded in that store and there was a lineup for the changing rooms at least a mile long and please, keep in mind that this is a ladies and MENS store...so anyhow there I am undressing and out of the mouth's of babe comes (and I know for sure that she had a MICROPHONE tucked under her dress) - NANNY WHY HAVE YOU GOT THOSE GREAT BIG BAGGY UNDERPANTS ON....sheesh - I could hear snickering going on outside the doors and in the stall next to me someone burst into laughter and says - man, I gotta sit down on for that one!!!! I didnt know whether I should just stay in the stall until the store closed or...anyhow I managed to sneak out - well I lied, I actually didn't sneak out because THEY ALL KNEW ...and as I went to bed that night I could still hear the snickering echoing in my ears!! Oh Yeah, I just love my Ali!!!
