Self Realization

Alexis has hit a really fun stage. She has begun to really think a lot about who she is and what makes her who she is.
She spends a lot of time saying things like, "I am just the same as Daddy because..." And a lot of "I really like to do ______ because I am really ______."
She has begun making goals (I will get 12 categories of toys cleaned up by 12:00) and resolutions (two habits I am cutting back on).
She is figuring out who she is. She, luckily, seems to love who she is. She likes for us to acknowledge the traits she sees in herself. She loves to define herself. She has begun to try and decide how those traits will guide her future. She is trying to take the steps to become the type of person she wants to be.
I couldn't be more excited for her! Or more surprised by how much she is growing. I sure do love that girl!

I sure do love all these kiddos!
