Raising our girlie is the most wonderful thing in our lives.. She is growing so much! Her life is definitely transitioning from little girl to school girl. She still gets very excited (see photos below), but also now has fears and test anxiety (I'd love to spare her that). I loved being a Mom of a little one, but honestly every new stage/age has been a wonder. My Mom says she's becoming a little lady, and she certainly is! She cares about other's feelings, and seems to have a great empathy for what other people are going through. She can read chapter books now, and can tell you the moral of the story. What a joy she is!
