Jadeline is 7

Jadeline is 7 today! ... and seven little facts about her right now:
  • she loves reading books! if she has to choose, she spends her money on books than toys. Even if she only reads a few chapter, she is happier with a book.
  • she is determined! she requested a bike WITHOUT training wheels. We'll see how that turns out.
  • has a sense of fashion. Sometimes i'm not sure if that is a good thing. She knows what she likes and she knows whats in style. Others may not think so - but she wears it proud.
  • she is thoughtful. Anytime she wants candy or slurpee, it never passes her to think of her brothers!
  • she is unusually tall. I am 5' tall and when she stands next to me, the top of her head is above my shoulders. This feature she gets from her dad.. skinny and all leg! And i am blessed that she did not get my height.
  • she is adored... especially by her friends. I am amazed how many voicemails that i received with her friends or friends mom, asking, "can jadeline have a play date?" or "can jadeline go to the movies?" . . . . i have to remind myself that she was only 6 years old at that time??
  • she is a social butterfly. We can be at the gym, restaurant, or park, and she will find a little girl to talk to!..
seven little facts for now... seven distinct things i can see in her right now . . . 7 things i hope she will continue to own for a lifetime. Happy Birthday sweetie!!
