What can I say? Lauren is seven and it's just unbelievable! There have been many changes in the past year, but the one that really stands out is that she has blossomed when it comes to her interactions with others. In fact, a neighbor just mentioned a couple weeks ago how Lauren used to say almost nothing to adults, but now talks and waves when she sees them. It seems my cautious baby girl has been replaced with an outgoing, rather confident little girl. It is amazing to watch her interact with both adults and her peers in ways she never has before. She initiates play dates, she contributes to conversations, she compromises, and she enjoys all of it. That's the kicker - there's no wish more important to me for my child than to be more outgoing than I am. It will eliminate all the troubles of the timid and serve her well for the rest of her life.
Lauren - Happy 7th Birthday and you go girl! Love you!
