A Special Day

January 20 is a special day for our family, as five years ago we became grandparents when our beautiful little granddaughter was born. It seems like only yesterday that we were cradling her in our arms for the first time, and now she is such a busy little girl. Here she is at just nine months, 'playing' the piano.

She started kindergarten last fall, and told me that while they are allowed to sit anywhere in the classroom, she would rather not sit too close to the 'silly boys' because "Grandma, I need to get my work done!". She has swim lessons on Saturday mornings, and, until recently, did gymnastics on Monday evenings. She played outdoor soccer last spring and will do so again this year. Last September, she started dance lessons. Every Wednesday evening she does ballet and tap. Her mommy (our daughter) was a beautiful dancer.

Years ago, I started this little counted cross stitch piece for our daughter. By the time it was finished, she had outgrown its cutesy-ness, so it was put away. I found it recently and realized it would be perfect for our little granddaughter. Not only is she our little ballerina, she also loves bunnies! Happy birthday sweetie.
