Happy birthday to my big 9 year old!
She really came out of her shell this year. I attribute it to her success this summer on the swim team and the great environment that her coaches surrounded her with.
She is growing so fast and is smart, funny, and kind.
Many many people tell us how much she looks like me. And my younger photos do look like her, though I had chunky bangs.
So she said last week "I am going to grow up to look *just* like you."
"Yes you will", I said. Then I asked, "is that ok?"
"Yes! You are so pretty!"
See? She is just too sweet!
And then a few days ago she asked me, "how did you get black hair?"
"That is how God made me."
"Did you have it when you were younger?"
"I think so"
"Do you think I could dye my hair black?"

She loves to make brownies from my little ICAN cookbook. She loves to rip stick. She is beginning to bud as an artist and can really copy an image freehand rather well. She is starting to take off reading. She is currently working on the fat set of Grimm's fairy tales I bought for reading aloud this trip(ha!- I've read about 4 or 5 stories).
