Ayla: Young Life


One of the greatest things about being a kid is playing dress up.  My son, Leo, can't get through the week without spending at least a few minutes fighting crime in his Wolverine costume or patrolling the neighborhood for bad guys as Spider-Man.  I love the way kids use their imaginations to completely transform their surroundings into a wonderful, magical place.

Speaking of magic, garden gnomes are mysterious little creatures who are reputed to either wreak havoc in or bring life to a garden.  After spending the afternoon with Ayla in her new gnome costume from Loulou Tutu, I think she's the latter type.  Ayla is nothing but sweetness.  Once again, I had to talk myself off the "maybe we could try for a girl" ledge.
