Six!

My darling girl,

You are six years old.  What a blessing you are to us and we rejoice in God's goodness in giving you to us! This year marks a shift to girlhood and the year you became a voracious reader.  You have always loved books, and you were reading before. But this year you read everything under the sun. You read while you walk, in the tub, under the covers, in the car.  If I didn't know better I might think you are Anne with an E.  You are hungry for ideas and knowledge and are trying to discover your place in this dizzy world.  Yet you are tenderhearted and giving, always helping Lena, and seeking the good of others.  Your favorite foods right now: burritos and chocolate. You have a notorious sweet tooth and also like spicy foods.  You love being with people, but do need quiet in your daytime. You enjoy art and nature, creating miniature books, coloring and writing letters. You are also taking off in your piano skills, singing hymns and memorizing and narrating.  How we love you.  Happy birthday sweet girl!
