Future Fullback?

Grace went to the zoo this morning and fed the goats; they're still her favorite over the alpacas and sheep. She also likes the bunnies and kept asking to go in their cage. She is also saying please now - when she wants to eat something, read something, do something, etc. So I felt pretty bad saying no to her please about the bunnies. After Free to Be Under Three, she took a really long nap and woke up in a great mood.

During our shopping trip to Citarella this evening she asked "apple please," and I obliged. She did a pretty decent job eating it (she has three more teeth, molars, btw!) and then carried it around like a prized possession until bathtime. Despite numerous falls, the apple never touched the groumd or fell out of her hands. I think we might have a future football player here! According to Uncle Teddy, a fullback barrels through people and is strong and powerful. That sounds about right. Other possibilites include tailback or running back. When I asked Uncle Teddy who she might be like, here is what he said (he cracks me up): Barry Sanders if she is so quick that she can run on the sides of her feet, Emmit Smith if she is strong and durable, Thurman Thomas if she chokes in the big game or Herschel Walker if she can do 500 pushups and situps in a sitting. I wonder what position Cousin Maya will play?
