"Da one with a handle on it"


For over two months we have heard about "the one with the handle on it" and today it came. Two months ago she saw a suitcase that she thought she needed in a catalog, and every day she would pull it out and show me her suitcase. There were a few different suitcases in the catalog, so she made sure to tell me she wanted "the one with the handle on it." We thought if we threw the catalog away, surely she would forget about it, right?

On both trips to Texas and California of course she didn't have her suit case, and there were a few tears. She never even came close to letting it go, so while in California it was ordered for her. Today, sitting on our front porch was a box, and inside the box was her suitcase. She was so excited to have it. Everywhere she has walked this afternoon her suitcase has followed. She has packed it a few times with toys, her blanket and sippy cup, and anything else she could find to put it in. She even took her nap on the couch this afternoon with it next to her. We have already talked about packing it on our next trip and she was very adamant that SHE was pulling it through the airport.
