Yorkturgon!

I try not to write about Hannah very often. Tonight was just way too incredible not to.

Hannah is my 4-year-old daughter - of course my favorite person. She is undeniably the most incredible kid in the world. Not only is she gorgeous, but her quirky and incredibly genuine and pleasing disposition forces anyone she meets to fall in love with her - instantly.

Take tonight for example. We did our weekly shopping at Trader Joe's. A woman stocking the shelves actually remembered us because of how Hannah told everyone she met there about how great her daddy makes her ponytails. And it's all genuine. Tonight she had her own Hannah-sized shopping cart and explained to everyone how much she loves it. And everyone, even the most ornery Olympia hipster, immediately changed to a happier person - something she does to me every day.

Well tonight I finally got to meet her new friend Yorkturgon. That's what she named him - right after she made him up.

We thought she made up Yorkturgon a few weeks ago while we were in Portland, but then she started calling one of her dolls Yorkturgon. As of tonight - she started talking to Yorkturgon, introduced him to me and then had a tea party and picnic here in the living room.

Just another reason why having a kid is the coolest thing to happen in my life.
