We had a birthday party with 14 children and I'm sure that Cecilia, the middle child people pleaser, was mostly concerned with whether or not everyone else had a good time. She gave me a report afterwards on who she didn't play with and her regrets about that.
All she wanted was a party at Riverbend and at the last minute, we changed it to a party here because it was a bit chilly. Tomorrow, I'm taking that kid to the park! Didn't I used to take Francesca ALL THE TIME when she was little and now . . . its once in a blue moon. Granted, our house is a park, but still. Kids love a good park. Turning five, Cecilia seems to have shot upwards and all of a sudden, her face looks different, too. We're homeschooling and she dives into any kindergarden stuff we do, songs, dancing, baking, whatever, she loves it. Hopefully Steiner's "Season of the soul" will bring mama's soul some improved organization and planning.
Cecilia is the only one who can catch the rooster, Ben. She leads the "stubborn" horse, Princess around like they were born together. She knows! Cecilia naps sometimes. She loves her sister and her brother but be there no mistaking, Cecilia runs the roost. We love our Cecilia.
