Because the Universe deemed it so

I tend to ignore the astrology stuff, the significance of your birth date and all the meaning it supposedly carries. But, if I sit down and look into it, it does appear to be awfully accurate about things.

L is an Aquarius. She is quiet and reserved, creatively follows the rules when/if she agrees with them, and likes to evaluate situations before jumping in and participating. She needs time alone to decompress. Yesterday, after a full day of Church, school tours, time at the grandparents and such, we found her in a room by herself quietly coloring on of those adult coloring books. She was fine she said, she just needed some quiet. She's FOUR. This isn't unusual for L, even when she was two we would find her kicked back on the couch leafing through a Highlight's magazine or reading something to one of our two dogs.

I'm not sure Pederson really enjoys her stories, but for a Shiba Inu, he tolerates both our girls with amazing patience.

L started school today. She is excited about the coming year. She actually told us summer was too long. This is the same kid that freaked out on the last day of school because she hadn't learn to read yet so she couldn't be done with school. L loves learning, she loves mastering new skills. Once she understands the basics, she will attack a new project, practicing, learning, questioning until she feels she has it down.

L quickly caught on to the "rules" of Eat or Starve. She doesn't always like them, but she's willing to play by them. She has tried more new foods in the past few weeks then she did in the last two years. I don't count 6 months to 12 months because, as good parents, we shoved a new food into her mouth every 3-4 days, because you must wait 3-4 days in case they have a reaction to something. Mostly we ruined cute onesies.

As L begins her second round of PreSchool I hope she can come out of her observant little shell a bit more. She possesses such an unique and quirky take on things; I love hearing the spin she puts on her day. We know its difficult for her to branch out and open up to other people. We've been pushing her, both in food and social settings to try new things. She's been wildly successful at the food side of things, hopefully it translates into the social side as well. L is well on her way to becoming the beautiful person she is destine to be, maybe her horoscope today says something about preschool, I need to check.

M is a Libra, that is for another day.

With style like this, how can you not want to know how her day went. Thank goodness for uniforms.
