What in the world would we do without all her girliness? Amazingly, among this brood of masculinity, she adds quite a touch of feminity. Ok...so it's more like a big ole dollup of feminity. Because this chick is GIRLY!!! And, in turn, has made her momma a bit more girly. She's a lover of bows, all things sparkly, princesses, ballerinas, pink and purple EVERYTHING, foo-foo dresses, dresses in general, make-up, manicures and pedicures, and everything else "girlish". She loves her brothers and loves to love ON her brothers (much to their chagrin). She takes her big sister role very seriously and makes sure her brothers know she's the one in charge. It's amazing that she can convince two of her brothers to conform to her will with just a few sweet words and with a swift batting of her eyelashes (her poor, poor husband....).
And with all her girliness, comes a very sweet heart. She loves to love on others. Loves to help anyone who is willing to let her. Loves to talk (oh. my. gosh. does this girl love to talk?!!?). Is definitely the most social of all our children, at least at this point. Has a certain flair for drama (which I'm certain she did not inherit from me, because I am in no way, shape, or form dramatic....AT ALL). Ahem! Moving on.....She loves to sing (and can actually sing on key pretty well). Loves to create stuff. And has her Daddy wrapped around her little finger.
Our five year old adds such joy to our family...and we are so incredibly proud that she could beat her brothers in a burping contest...hands down! Aaaaahhhh...I guess she has to let her brothers rub off on her somehow.
What an awesome gift God has given us in her. So proud to be her Mommy and thankful I have at least one person on my side in this house of abundant masculinity.
