My Girl

My sweet girl. She has an amazing sweetness about her...but not the kind that would make her a saint and seem really boring. She has quite the mischievous personality. She is in to hiding lately...use to when she would hide you could find her b/c of all the giggling. Now, when she hides she hides really well and doesn't make a sound. She won't come out when you call her frantically, either. Her little expressions and sweet little voice...you can't help but smile when she talks. She says things so matter of fact. She loves her big brother and smothers him with love. She has an amazing ability to look at something and know how many are there without counting. She's been able to do that since she could speak. Her math mind has no end...it just seems to make sense to her. She can add and retain numbers and answer math questions like it's no big deal. She is very maternal too. My Christmas present needs tons of Love and attention...and she just wraps it up gently and totes it around. She tells me that when I am old she will come to my house and brush my hair. Of course when she gets mad at me she tells me she's not going to do that anymore! She is a comic and lives to make my son laugh. She loves to make silly faces swing. She loves fruit and really isn't much of a sweets eater. She likes her share of candy and things...but typically won't finish it. I forot to add her dramatic side. The first time she threw a fit she wasn't even a year...and she was laying in the floor sobbing. I couldn't figure out what was wrong with her. I tried to pick her up and she was completely limp...I soon figured out she was having a tantrum! She screamed the 1st 3 mths of her life...just ask my friend Kelley. She was amazed I didn't lose my mind! Still, my sweet little angelc child who won;t utter a word outside of our home is a drama queen. When we get after her she cries as loud as she can like the world has ended. Some of this is my fault. She never really needed discipline...and so often I would answer her in vague terms, b/ she didn't rationalize the way my son always has. Now, I am paying for it. She is more sophisticated in her ways and so now I am havng to answer "no" more and I am having to deal with the fall out. Really she is sweet...she just knows that crying usally gets her hugs...and yes daddy is guilty of this, too. He would never brush her hair or anything, b/c it made her cry. She is a daddy's girl, although she has recently developed a HUGE attachment to mommy (finally). My sweet girl there is no end to the possibilities of what she may become...a doctor? A mother? A mathematician? I just don't know, but I know with her independent spirit, smart intellect, funny personality and kind heart she can be anything she wants to be!
