Of all of my children DTY is the one that reminds me most of myself.
My kids look so much like TLOML- it is hard to see me in any of them- except for occasionally in DTY.
DTY loves being a part of a family. She wants to always be in charge and take care of everyone.
She is (almost) always happy and wearing a smile.
When she is sad, or mad, or anything-but-happy she instantly breaks down and cries.
She has an imaginary best friend who shares her name but gets everything she wants and can't have.
She loves to talk about what she has been-
"when I was a mom, I had a baby, and my baby changed his own diaper!"
She loves homeschool- no matter what it is we are (or aren't doing).
She believes that there is only one school in TN that is not homeschool.
She has recently begun to ask to make phone calls and will talk for lengths of time on the phone.
She used to always have to be close to Mommy and rarely went off and played with others.
Now she tends to disappear to play with someone else or on her own.
She still checks in on me, but is no longer attached.
She tries so hard to be just like her older sister- and can't wait until "when I am older than you."
I love DTY so much! She is such a brightness in our lives! She is loving and kind (mostly) and tries hard to please us. I love watching her grow and seeing her personality really shine through. DTY will always be my baby, although she is quickly growing right out of baby- out of toddler- and blazing through that preschool phase.
