I know the sweetest girl....

For those of you who know me (or at least read this blog every so often), I kind of rag on my second born sometimes.  I don't want any of you to get the wrong idea about her, she is a great kid, a WONDERFUL kid.  My qualm is that she is a BUSY/CURIOUS kid.  That is where we run into trouble with raising her.  This post isn't going to be dwelling on that part though, so.... forget you read it, ok?!   My second born has got to be the sweetest, most genuine person that I have EVER met.  My best friend can give her a run for her money..... but as far as kids go..... my daughter is definitely the sweetest person on planet earth.  She has a huge capacity to love, give, and be kind to those around her.  She doesn't intentionally run around hurting people or treat them rudely.  Most times she does that only with her sister, and after being provoked at that!  Her nature is to love, not hurt and that touches my life each and every day.  The circumstances in which she arrived here in our family were not the ones the hubby and I wanted for her to have (not the right timing), and as such she already had kind of a tough arrival.  She is the gem that comes from adversity.  She is extremely intelligent and a huge blessing to our family.  I recently received a letter in the mail stating that she was accepted into the Pre-K program at the elementary school down the street for this fall.  I am so excited!  I think she will do well in school and it wouldn't hurt for her to learn a little bit of control, right?!  Plus... it'll give her mommy a chance to be at home with just one child for a couple weeks before the baby gets here.  WE LOVE YOU JULIA!
