Lessons from a Nine Year Old

As my youngest celebrated turning nine yesterday, I began to ponder the things that she has taught me in her nine years.  Here's the short list....

EVERYONE DESERVES A CHANCE TO HAVE FUN.  She is the most vibrant, friendly child on the planet and truly likes to include everyone.  She doesn't believe in judging anyone and I love that about her.

SOMETIMES THE BULLIES JUST NEED SOMEONE TO TALK TO.  At her age, this is often true.  Sometimes the bullies are just bullying because they're lonely.

NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF MAKING SOMEONE SMILE.  I don't know how she does it but she can make pretty much anyone smile at any given time.

HAVING A HUGE HEART SHINES THROUGH ALWAYS.  You literally meet her and love her immediately.  I have always told everyone that she absolutely charms people from the moment they meet her.....everyone.  It's just the way she is.

STYLE IS ABOUT JUST BEING YOU.  This kid combines polka dots with stripes with plaid and works it.  She just has this flair about her that her friends try to copy and just can't pull off.  I swear that she should be building displays in the mall clothing stores because, with the way she layers, she'd be making millions.

and a few other random things.....

CINDERELLA SHOULD HAVE TAKEN HER SHOES OFF TO RUN WHEN IT STRUCK MIDNIGHT.  She could run faster without shoes, after all.

I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO KEEP TRACK OF WHICH MY LITTLE PONY EQUESTRIA GIRL IS WHICH.  So don't......even.....try.

LITTLE GIRLS LOVE FOOTBALL TOO...SOMETIMES MORE THAN BOYS.

I love my little monkeys and they've all taught me so much.  Happy Birthday to my Baby Girl (yesterday).
