B

How does a girly girl who loves purples and pinks and everything glittery choose Star Wars as her favorite toy, book, movie, and game to play? Somewhere in between Snow White and Princess Jasmine, B found her most favorite princess of them all...Princess Leia. Always the entertainer, she makes the world a brighter place with her laughter and booty shakes. B has a love of silly dancing. She has mastered such moves as "the sprinkler" and "the Whammy" and has created a few moves of her own. Perhaps what stands out most for my youngest daughter is her enormous heart. Things have never been financially easy for our family. Our children have learned to appreciate the things that they have, choose not to whine about what they don't, and know that there are plenty of others have far less. A few years ago, B was sitting in the kitchen with me while I made up the week's grocery list. We talked about her upcoming birthday and what type of cake she'd like to have. At no time did I state anything about her birthday party, who we'd invite, or anything of the sort. I mentioned the cake. That was it. B put her little arm around my shoulders and said, "Mom, I don't care what we do for my birthday as long as we're all together." Dear Lord, Thank you for the most amazing little girls. I am truly blessed!
