1. Her love for numbers and math makes me happy. It comes naturally to her, just like it does to her momma, and she would rather spend any spare time working on fractions and now ... sudoku puzzles. Last school year, we encouraged her teacher to challenge her with extra math assignments and she absolutely excelled. I hope that she will always love numbers this much. It's a nice skill to have.
2. She has the longest legs that I have ever seen and is almost in the 90th percentile for her height. In less than two years, she will probably be taller than me. She's actually taller than most of the kids in her class -- boys and girls -- and she is one of the youngest (she has a Fall birthday).
3. She has started taking on more responsibilities around the house lately, especially since she will be turning 10 (ten!) in a few months. She recently remarked that she is "excited to turn double digits soon because she will be double digits then for a long time ..." Yes, the rest of her life, most likely. She is now doing laundry (sorting, washing and drying), watering all of the household plants, emptying the dishwasher and any other miscellaneous jobs that I find for her. And, I love every ounce of help that she provides.
