Born late, we weren't sure whether we would have a Christmas baby, a New Year's baby or something in between. Little A made her appearance at the perfect time: in between. She struggled to get into proper position for birth and her heart didn't handle contractions well. So, she entered the world via c-section.
She has always been the quiet one. Even now, she doesn't use words unless she has to. But she's great at acting her thoughts out and making you guess...hahahaha. That brain of hers is always working, though. This might come in handy if she becomes a spy like she wants to be someday. Little A has always been the adventurous type, although, never wanting to leave those she loves. How do you go on adventures while dealing with separation anxiety? This is what Little A must face from time to time.
She is very independent. She never wanted help doing anything and insisted doing everything herself. With her brother and sister a few years older, she has a fantastic imagination and can entertain herself well, although she prefers company.
Little A has inherited the artistic gene and loves to draw and paint. I cannot tell you how many sheets of paper she has gone through in this house! Sometimes, we'll find a YouTube video for drawing and we'll draw something together for our art class. It's perfect since I'm not artistic at all.
After enjoying her lunch choice of corndogs, it was time for some afternoon fun. With the icy weather outside, we bundled up to try out geocaching for the first time. I thought this would be the scavenger hunt Little A wanted. However, since we were completely clueless as to how it worked and what we needed to do, it turned out to be very disappointing. So, instead, we got ourselves some fun treats from the QT kitchen and headed back home.
By the time we came home, Seth was home for the day - early! It was time for Little A to open her gifts. We had enchiladas for supper, her favorite meal. Then had cake and ice cream. She wanted to watch the movie Pixels while we ate. Later, she watched Zapped.
Overall, not too bad of a day. We went on an adventure. She did some painting and got a new spy watch. We watched a couple of movies and ate her favorite foods.
This sweet little girl is so talented and loving. She has a bright future ahead of her and I look forward see to what God has planned for her. Happy 9th birthday!!!
