As I have mentioned before we love our girls. They are gifts to us each second of each day. I wanted to update you on my darling Miss M.
What an amazing girl! I love the sweetness that emanates from her, the gentleness, the thoughtfulness, and the kindness, and patience. I also love her strength of will and spirit. Neither of our girls are push-over. Her strength of will is so very different than her sister's. She is much quieter and more subtle in how she goes about things but it's there none the less. Her mind sees a problem, and where others may see a confusing maze, she sees a path to get there and she does what needs to be done. Her sense of humor is sharp and always intact. She is very good at spacial organization. She has a great vocabulary. She is an amazing reader! My goodness! Shaun and I often observe her reading her Bible after we've tucked her in for the night. Nothing gives us greater joy than to see our children learning His ways.
Both of the girls' classes, this year, are full of fantastic kids. They both has been given the gift of some phenomenal friends. Their teachers are perfect for them! We are so very thankful.
There is something else we see in both of the girls that is a massive gift to us...it's their love for each other. They enjoy each other. They play well together...no I'm not saying there are never moments when I want to tear my hair out one at a time because I'm so aggravated by their arguing, but I am saying that they quickly come around and choose to get along when reminded. We, as adults, all know, that for the most part "getting along" with someone is a choice each and every day. They generally choose that. In moments of crisis (not only massive crisis but also "girl"crisis) their love for each other is plainly evident. They are kind and sweet to each other and they deeply love each other. It distresses them to see the other in pain or worried or bothered. Their sisterhood is deep. I love them more for it.
The other day Miss M was on a field trip the whole school day, straight after school she went to a birthday party for a few hours, then she came home for about 45 minutes and then went to her girls club until 8:30. I didn't really see her all day! It was weird. And it made me realize she is growing up! There will come a day not too far away when that is more the norm than not and then there will come another day not too long after that when it will be the norm! It made me extremely happy and extremely sad all at the same time. I love seeing the girls growing and changing inside and out...but I also miss their little baby hands. :). It's a parents unending conundrum isn't it.
