When my daughter Julie was 4 she was just as cute and smart as she is now at the still young age of 40.
Julie was not aware we were not in the United States and that we were living in Stuttgart Germany on a U.S. Army Military Facility named Robinson Barracks.
Julie just knew she was having fun and enjoying life. We lived in a Government Condo on the second floor, had two bed rooms, a kitchen, a living room, a dining room and a hall way, and the Army provided us with a house f...ull of furniture and we all loved it.

During the time we lived in our Condo on the hill over looking Stuttgart, Germany, Julie learned the fine art of getting her way and making sure her parents felt good about her getting her way.
Little kids hate sleeping by them selves, even when they have their own room with lots of neat stuff. Julie had a great room but always wanted to sleep in the bed with us. We wanted Julie to get use to sleeping alone and tried every thing we knew to get her to sleep in her own bed. Julie on the other hand had different ideas and always managed to sneak into our room in the middle of the night with her stuffed animal friends and join us in bed.
Julie would gather up her stuffed animal collection, place them on a small wooden chair and then carry them to our room. Julie would then toss the chair with all the stuffed animals onto the bed and climb into bed with us. Lucky for us the stuffed animals hit first and then the chair. Julie would then climb into bed, toss the chair off the bed, and then get between us and lay down side ways with her head in my back and her feet in her mother’s back. We had such great fun in those days learning how to sleep in our own beds.
One night I was waiting for Julie and just as she entered the room I took a picture of her holding the chair full of stuffed animals.
Life is too short not to enjoy all the fun we have growing up.
