Sweet girl you are growing up before our eyes. One night you go to sleep a baby and the next you wake up a little girl. I can hardly believe how magical these days have been with you and your sister. Your little personality is still mostly the same as it has been when a baby. You take a while to warm up to people or situations and need to know you are not alone. But when you do warm up-watch out. Hugs, chatty conversations, stories and songs all burst out around those you love. You are so smart and have your Papa's memory. You do not ever forget anything anyone has said or a song you've heard. Sometimes you are smarter than we are. We don't know what you are talking about. You are talkative now, especially when you are happy. Your favorite color is yellow and you like asking everyone about their favorite color. You know your ABCs and numbers, shapes, colors, catechism and Psalm 23. You love art projects and ballet. You actually have good rhythm, and can play a scale on the piano. You are considering violin, cello and trumpet. You do not like sirens, lions, ants or bears. You are a sleep walker and although you usually sleep 12 hours you've begun surprising us at the crack of dawn. In those moments you could "talk the hind leg off a mule". You have a very tender heart and cry if someone else is sad or if something didn't go as you had hoped. Your favorite books right now are "Corduroy", "Go Dogs Go", Richard Scarry books, books about farms, gardens, animals, lightning bugs and cats. You are fascinated with boo boos, bandaids, clouds, firetrucks, steam, putting babies to bed. You have given up your "nuk" (pacifier) and adopted Nancy, your new dollie, with great love. You are becoming a little mother, always watching out for Lena, stopping her from doing a naughty deed and wanting to feed her. You prayed for the first time, all on your own and say "gute nacht" at bedtime. Darling girl you are our joy and blessing. How we love you and rejoice in your growth and knowledge of God and His world.
