Dumpling

Middle child. Class clown. She's the one catching the sibling dynamic from both sides, and is specially equipped to handle it.

She is studying the piano and hopes to begin with classical guitar in the fall. She has lovely handwriting, is reading more and more, but says that math is her very favorite thing to learn about.She's partial to the stories of the Old Testament, loves to cantor, gallop and run laps around the back yard, plays hour after hour with animal figurines and thinks it's pretty great to be a girl--especially when it means long dresses, sparkle shoes, sequined purses and shiny jewels!

Dumpling is a kind girl--compassionate, a little mischievous, and gifted with a sharp, intelligent humor. Sometimes she's hard to read though, and requires a little "fishing" to find out what is wrong, but she's learning to open up.

She's very loud and says she doesn't want to have children when she grows up. Because they're too noisy. I hope she changes her mind though, because I think she'll be a great mom.
