Cuddlebug

She prays to Jesus for mommy to have 100 more babies, but really--she was born to be the baby of the family. She's quiet, delightfully affectionate, observant, capable, and as smart as a whip!And stubborn. driven. Sometimes she's stubborn. very driven, and we all hold out hope that that quality will bring great glory to God as she grows.

She is studying the piano, and thinks she might like to play cello....later.

She's a good reader and picks up whatever her big sister has just finished, plays whatever her big sister plays, but is excited to have her very own math book to accomplish this year.

She loves both of her big sisters very much. And they love her too. Even if sometimes her stubbornness drive leaves them a little irritated dumbfounded.

She loves to ride her bike when Daddy brings it out in the cooler months. She doesn't have too much of a sweet tooth, and would eat her weight in tangerines and blue corn meal pancakes if we let her.

Cuddlebug is helpful and unnervingly stealth in her approach. I jump out of my skin on a regular basis for the way she suddenly appears by my side or behind me when there is work to be done. And then I smile for the way she cocks her head, bats her eyes and smiles a sheepish grin.

She sounds like a pleasure to have as a daughter :)

My son is also stubborn... I mean, driven. We are also praying that he can use that to God's glory some day. I'm glad that you can see that potential, and aren't just frustrated by its downside at the moment.

Is this a new post? It showed up in my reader but when I clicked to see your page it wasn't there. So I went back to my reader and see the post date of 1/1/06. Anyhow, new or not, this is a wonderful tribute to a youngest daughter. What a blessing. :)
