sequins and science

Thank goodness for diversity! I love the fact that my 2 girls are so different and wonder if it is easier somehow to parent an adopted child. There are no preconceived ideas of who they should be - not looking for any familial links/trends. They are who they are.

If my kids can grow up with curiousity, compassion and confidence -there are signs of these qualities now - I'll be thrilled.

It is hard, however, to be 6. 6 is intense, brilliant, competitive and driven by science. Prove a fact. Know a fact. It is solid and unchanging and reliable. A box cannot be a pirate ship because it is a box. It is a rectangle held together by tape. It is not waterproof. Your 'ship' would leak!
Her feelings are deep, often hidden but intense.

4 on the other hand is a charmer. Cute, bubbly, buoyant, social. She loves to perform, to sing, act, dance. Put her on a stage and she will pretend to be anything. Find something funny, laugh, wear glitter, make up and sequins. Life is great when you are a princess!

Everyone is different. Everyone is good at at different things. Some learn quicker than others. We are all unique. One of a kind! Doesn't that make the world and interesting place?
