Brian. You have adjusted well and seem to love being our only girl :) You have no problem bossing the boys around and making sure they act according to your girly ways - ha ha. The first thing we hear in the morning is "Boy's get in here and flush the toilet" "Put the seat down" - lol. Life with boys is messy but you have so enjoyed having them around.
You are in second grade this year and your teacher is Mrs. Allspaw. She told us at your parent teacher conference that you have a great personality. You have the potential to be a great leader but at this point you do more following than leading (whether good or bad) so she is making it her goal to get you to lead by the end of the year. She said you remind her a lot of herself :) You are doing great in school and made all A's and one B on your report card.
You love to jump rope. You asked us if you could try out for the jump rope team at school (coming up this Spring). You are playing soccer with the YMCA this Spring. I don't think you are really interested much in playing but the boys are playing so you decided to sign up :)
From the time you were a little toddler you have said you wanted to be a doctor. That has not changed. You have said you want to be a pediatrician. We told you how much schooling it will take and you are still persistent on it. I guess we have a few years before you really have to make that decision - lol.
We had your birthday party at the church this year. You invited Lily, Maegan, Julianna, Isabella, Nevaeh, Ella, and Ava. Gabe had his party at the same time. We played hot potato, pin the tail on the donkey, musical chairs, and had a relay race. It was a great time. You were thrilled to get squinkies, zoobles, a bracelet making kit, and a friendship stone. MeMe took you to get your ears pierced for your birthday. She said you almost came home with one earring. You realized after the first one that it was pretty painful so it took them 10 minutes to convince you to get the other one done - ha ha. You came home with the cutest Hello Kitty earrings.
You have a high energy personality. You are silly and fun and you have a wonderful giggle :) You ask lots of questions and you are not afraid to voice your opinion (which often leads to a time out). You are the first to stick up for someone that is getting disciplined. You love old people and could spend hours in a nursing home loving on the elderly. You also love babies :) At Christmas you wanted to hold your nephew, Elias, as much as possible. He was as big as you but that didn't stop you.
I love you so much. You have been through so much change and transition. I am so proud of the way you have flourished through it all. When times were hard it was your sunny personality that got me through. I have so many memories of you being the light in my life when everything around me seemed dark. I am so thankful to God for you. You are my sweet girl. My only daughter. A true gift from above.
Happy Birthday!!! I love you to the moon and back :) ~Mom
