In honor of your 10th birthday, here are 10 things I love most about you.

1. You can have a conversation with anyone of any age. I've seen you sit and talk to children younger than yourself and then I've seen you have a conversation with someone 60 or 70 years old.
2. You have great manners. You say please and thank you. When someone tells you to have a good day, you tell them to have a good day too. Keep that up!

This is post #2 for my oldest daughter who will be 10 on June 23. I decided to share a memory, story or something about her for 10 days in honor of her birthday.

There were anxious moments when I just...

As both of my daughters have birthdays coming up soon, it's put me in a very reflective mood. It doesn't help that my oldest daughter, who will be 10 on June 23, is almost as tall as me. Granted, I'm short(or undertall as I prefer to call it)but does she have to remind me EVERYDAY that she's almost as tall as me? Really, is that necessary? So anyway, she's developing, she's growing, she's maturing and I just wonder where the time went. I hear people say this all the time and now I hear myself...
