I guess I never mentioned that I too have another daughter, Gabby (short for Gabriella) she is 5 and is such a ham. I always remember Izzy being so serious in interested in learning when she was 5. Gabby is interested in playing, making you laugh (she is so quick witted), and content with just sitting on my lap and snuggling. I do believe she is what an actual 5 year old should be like...then out of nowhere her smarts come out!! She is learning simple addition already and the other day she was quizzing me..."Mama, what's 2 + 2?" I say, you tell me and she says "4! Ok now what is 3 + 7?!" (Now to anyone 3+7 is easy, but when you are 5 and you put those 2 together, that is amazing to me) so again I say, "you tell me" she says (after counting on her fingers) "10!!" I had to ask if she was learning these things at Pre-K and she says, "No, I taught myself, because God just made me smart that way" Life through the eyes of a 5 year old!! Amazing!!
Now, I know that I am probably just a proud and very biased mom, but that's ok, because after all, I am my children's biggest fan and plan to always be! They are what drive me to get up every day with a smile on my face, they are what make me complete. I am blessed to have two beautiful daughters and an amazing husband.
