Wow... Five years ago this baby girl entered the world.
She is such a character.
This child feels things so acutely. Her highs are so high and her lows are very low. She always puts herself in charge of her younger siblings whether they want her to be in charge or not. For better or for worse, she copies so many of my behaviors and has made herself quite the little mother this year.
She is such a social child and often puts herself in charge, not only of her siblings, but of her entire group of friends.
This year, she has taken a bigger interest in books and learning her letter sounds, and is working very hard to understand geography, math, and calendars.
A few weeks ago she received a jewelry box from a family member and since receive that gift, seemingly overnight she became interested in clothes, hair styles, and accessories. This child that never cared about the clothes I laid out for her to wear suddenly insists on dresses that sparkle and twirl along with necklaces, bracelets, and bows.
As our oldest child, Tracey has such a special place in our family. Every first that she hits, is a first for us as her parents too. While we do our best in every circumstance, she has experienced more trial and error of our parenting than her younger siblings have.
We are so lucky to be her parents and I can't wait to see how she grows and develop this coming year.
