I have a 9 year old?
| 9 years have gone by so fast. I remember the first thought I had when I saw my little girl. I thought "wow, she's huge." It was hard to believe that child had come out of me. That is still what I think...she is huge!!! Now, I can't believe I have a child that old. If the next 9 years pass as quickly, which I am sure they will, then she will be graduating and leaving me. Then what will I do?
Since it is her birthday I should say a few things about her, who she is, and what I love about her. She is very bright. She questions everything, but in a good way. Why is multiplication important? What do people in other religions believe? How do you get cotton from the field to become clothes? It is great. I learn so much by finding the answers to her wonderful questions. She is also beautiful. I love every feature of her little face. Her smile just makes my heart warm. She is a cheerleader for the first time this year. We have a great home school athletic department here. Most people say they can't believe that she loves cheering so much. I think it is because she is so smart. She doesn't seem like the "type." But to me I think that is even better, because she is intellectual, but can also have a good time for good time sake. Plus she strives to be the best at what ever she does. So of course she puts her little heart into cheering and does great at it. I also love that she will talk to me. She has already had some pretty big questions for such a little girl. She has been so confident in just asking me and telling me what she needs to. I pray that is always the case. That reminds me to say how confident she is. When she is sure of something... she just has the most confidence. Even if she ends up not being right, she has confidence to say what she thinks. What a wonderful trait that is. I could go on and on. I am hard on her, I think because she is my oldest. I expect a lot out of her too. Despite my pressure, she is a great kid. I am so proud to be her mom.
