Where they are. Right now. #motivationalmonday #themondayclub #whatsthestory #magicmoments

This months theme on motivational monday is children. Hey..guess what…

I have a few of those

So i thought i would give a little run down of each of the little folk who dwell here in this dwelling.

This week it is the turn of my sweet little girl. Well she isnt so little anymore. Fast approaching 9. As in, in less than a month nearly! Hard to believe she was such an incredibly cute little baby. She arrived 6 minutes past her due date.

She is totally gorgeous ( even if we do say so ourselves) and right now..she is:

 

• Very much into animals. ALL animals. Mostly dogs and horses would feature highest but she loves them all. She wants to be a Vet. We think that is a GREAT idea 😉
• She has probably one hundred soft toys that share her bed…and other stuff to! I say to her that i will throw them out secretly one by one but she tells me she will notice straight away. i think she does roll call every day!
• She tells me that she ‘believes in toys’ that is often when im telling her off for pinching a toy that has been discarded by a sibling in a less than caring manner and she has snaffled it up and taken it to bed. She says it is because she thinks it will get lonely and upset being on its own. I blame Toy Story! 😉
• She is actually pretty ‘young’ for a nearly 9 year old. She still likes to play with babies and dollies. She still watches a fair amount of kids only TV and she still would choose ‘comfy’ over ‘fashionable’ clothing. I like that she is still like that. 🙂
• Having said what i have just said, she did get a valentines card this year and it spent a month on the kitchen shelf! Longer than a birthday card for goodness sake!!
• She likes ‘pop’ as in One direction, Carly Rae whatserface etc. This is partly influenced by me ( hangs head) as i do have pop radio on in the car most of the time. As i said before her brother does NOT like that style and it often leads to conflict.
• Finished year 3 this year. She loved her teacher and she got the best behaviour award in the year! It was a tough year for her as her best friend left the school.
• She is another one after a phone..apparently EVERYONE at school has one. She is resolutely met with a stone wall which often gets a flouncing off, followed by a slammed door. 😉
• She is the one of my kids who will always pose for me when im setting up shots. Always. They are all getting much better at this now but she was the first to just ‘get it’ and i often ask her because she is the happiest to do it
• When she was three she had pneumonia and was admitted to our local children’s hospital for 4 days. Then followed check ups to be sure that there was no scarring on her lungs, there isn’t. She didnt’ eat anything the entire time we were in except smarties!! Something she will brag about now!!
• She is a sweet, kind hearted kid. Her friends at school are often the kids that others are being unkind to for shallow, silly, nonsense reasons. She sticks up for them and is a really good friend to them. This makes us incredibly proud of her.
• I would say her best friend is her sister (im totally sure she wouldnt!!) but they are good mates and get along most of the time. We often have a little bit of an issue when one of the older girls has a friend over as the girls are so used to being buddies to each other at home that working that out with another person can be tough! I’m hoping in the future that the sister-bond is going to be really strong for them.
• She has done ballet and played piano since she was 4. I can’t tell you how proud i am of her stickability to it. There has been ups and downs but she is still going strong!
• She loves to read, her favourite books are Horrid Henry. She has written to the author and is awaiting a reply! *stares hard at author!* 😉
