Dear Laney,
The last time you saw your cousin Kya was exactly two years ago, when you looked like this:
She was a little baby, you were almost two, and I didn't know the first thing about taking pictures. Back then, you two became instant friends, but I didn't know how you'd get along now that she's 2 and you're almost 4. I needn't have worried.
You immediately came up with nicknames for each other. You called Kya, "My New Best Friend," and Kya called you, "Hey-Hey" as in, "Hey-Hey, let's drink some lemonade," or "Hey-Hey, let's go swimming." Kya also likes to call every adult, "Mom," like when she called to me while tapping on the hot tub, "Hey Mom! Let's turn this thing on!"
You told Kya she could be the first customer at your new lemonade stand. From a business perspective, your lemonade stand is suffering from two great flaws: 1) It's located inside our fence, so you can only sell to people who live here and 2) You've got a pretty slim profit margin. A can of lemonade concentrate costs $3.50, and you're only charging "13 units" per glass.
Your new best friend had to go back to her house in Minnesota yesterday, so let's raise a glass (of lemonade) to Kya, and hope she comes back soon.
Love,
Mom
