Georgie

Georgie Girl turned 6 last month, and again I am behind in making a post just for her, but nonetheless I'm able to get it posted.

Our Georgie girl is just one amazing little girl. She's our firstborn so she has suceeded despite lots of our trial and error. She has so many of the typical firstborn qualities, but there is a servant part to her heart that can only come from God. I see her serve others in ways that we have not specifically taught and it makes my heart so full.

This fall when we are eating at Slades Georgie bounced out of her seat and headed for the door.As I turned to remind her she needed to sit down to eat I notice that she is holding the door for an elderly couple who is getting ready to leave. She had noticed the couple when the wife entered using her walker and she noticed they were preparing to leave and without any prompting went an opened the door. That is just one example of the many ways she seeks to serve those around her.

Georgie also likes to succeed and be the best at things, yet she knows that those acheivements often come from hardwork. She is always working hard at whatever new skill she is learning. While I know this is a personality trait often associated with firstborns, we want to always support her in her acheivements. More importantly we want Georgie to know that Mom and Dad are always the safety net for her failures and that it's OK to not be perfect. I hope that she continues to feel safe to always do her best because to quote a friend "We got you Georgie"

Georgie also loves to laugh and be silly and smile! She loves to snuggle and always comes to give me a hug when she wakes up in the morning. She's tough but tender! She's a second mother around this house, even when I try to tell her to just be a kid. She's a tomboy. She's logical. She's so understanding.

Georgie Girl, I know God is going to do great things with you through both your strengh and weakness. May you always let him do great work in your life. I'm excited to see what that is! Love you ten times infinity stick period.
