What a joy you are! At 6.5, you have lost 4 teeth, wear size 8 clothes, are a stellar student in Mrs. Hallman's 1st grade class, love to swing and play with roly polys at recess, and have a jam-up rock collection. You have kept your "take charge" attitude in tact, and love to make up your own rules to games your little brother and sisters are naive enough to play with you. You are bright, kind, responsible, and thoughtful. You go out of your way to leave notes and drawings for birthdays, anniversaries, or just because. You are Mimi's little girl--the two of you are two peas in a pod. Your first experience with press-on nails via Mimi were only pleasant for an hour. After that, you were pitching a fit to get those things off! You are a fantastic swimmer, have mastered both the front and back flip (in the pool), and are working on perfecting your handstand (also in the pool). You are an AMAZING reader, and do so with such inflection and joy. You are an expert jump-roper, and enjoy taking showers without help from mom.
You have NOT mastered tying your own shoes, mostly because you give up pretty easily if you can't catch on immediately. You are a fantastic story-teller (as you always have been), and have great inter-personal skills. Your outgoing personality draws others in, and makes them feel loved.
I cannot believe you will be 7 in a few short months! I feel so blessed to have been given YOU, Eve Lairsey. You are no ordinary child. You will do great things. I can't wait to watch what God uses you to accomplish.
