She just needs to stop growing!! She says stuff that just blows me away! Her thinking is so direct and precise, she asks a question she wants the answer. Just the answer. Don't candy coat your words with sweetness, and sugar. She wants the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Projecting: there is a starting point, steps to get it done, and a finished project. There is no need for further embellishment unless the directions state otherwise...It's exhausting not being able to suck her into the hearts and flowers of creative thinking sometimes....but every now and then she surprises me and comes upstairs dressed like a fairy princess, heels, crown and magic wand, trying to turn me, or her sisters into frogs. Or she'll insist on wearing this sparkly little dress for the day and I'll find her in her room doing twirls and playing pretend with her sisters.

There is a 5 year old in there after all, she comes out to play every now and then and it's beautiful to see.
