So Very Proud

Over the past few weeks, I have seen Jenna's gifts, talents, and personality unfold more and more. As her mommy, it's so exciting to be a part of. And I am proud of her.

I love that she is compassionate and eager to learn and that she loves her sister so much.

I love that she loves music. I love that she has Nate's musical gifts and can't get enough of "Row Row Row Your Boat" or "Happy Birthday" on the piano.

I love that she takes the job of keeping Abby in line at the children's message seriously.

I love that she finally put her head under water at swimming lessons last week. And for those of you who have been following this blog, you know that this accomplishment has been almost a year in the making. After sitting on the steps of the pool for 16 weeks and then refusing to put her head under water for a good three months, this is a huge feat for a little girl who was terrified of the water.

I love that she spells out every store sign that she sees and asks me what it spells when we go out.

I love watching her self-confidence grow as she matures and tries new things.

These little things don't matter so much to anyone but me and Nate, but I notice them and love watching this little person unfold into the beautiful girl that she is.
