Seven

Seven. It's an age that seems so grown up. You're not a little Kindergartener anymore. You know how to read. You can get yourself ready for school with very few reminders/distractions. You are learning how to play the violin, just like your dad! When asked to do something it gets done, to the best of your ability. You want to do things independently, and most times it works! You are creative. You are smart. You are kind. You are gentle. You love greatly and easily. You cry when others cry. You laugh when others laugh, even if you don't quite get it! Your sense of humour is hilarious. Your smile is genuine. Your eyes sparkle. You understand sarcasm (mostly)! You came into this world on the coldest day of the year. Quickly. With the cord wrapped around your neck. Twice. Cried instantly. For days. Dare I say months! Thankfully you haven't been as dramatic as when you entered this world. Not always. You are a joy. You are maturing into a beautiful young lady. Inside and out. We love you Little One. Thank you for being part of our family. Thank you God for blessing us with our Larissa.
