L's first proposal!

When planning her fourth birthay party, L was adamant that it was "girls only." We talked about princess cakes and party games and she cheerfully and frequently mentioned that only girls were coming. Well, the day before the party I started to notice that the phrase became "I'm only inviting one boy." I explained to her that it was a little late to change our plans, and there would indeed be only girls coming to her party. "But which boy did you have in mind?" I asked. "Clark!" she exclaimed enthusiastically, and added with a big grin, "He says he's going to marry me when I get bigger!"

Now, Clark is the one and only boy in L's Sunbeam class. He is the bishop's son, and quite an adorable and rambunctious boy. All in all, a match I could heartily approve... in, say, 20 years.
