She is my baby - eight and one half years younger than her eldest sister; two and one half years younger than her closest sister.
She's the baby. And I think we've done her a disservice by treating her like the baby. We didn't encourage her to do for herself as we did the other two. We tied her shoes and cleaned up behind her because it was easier and faster than taking the time to let her do it herself.
Last night she showed me that she isn't scarred by this pampering.
She is very good with little children. She sat for hours playing blocks with a 3 year old. She knew that I was here for emergencies, but that the job was hers.
I am a proud mom.
And while this little guy reminds me of Frank Lloyd Wright:
this one was more like Godzilla when it came to the construction and design process.
