Eight

Eight is pretty great when you are this kid!  S is way smarter and more mature than any eight year old I know.  She gets it, even when you don't want her to "get it."  She is super fun to shop with, I'd rather go with her than go alone.  She will tell you if something looks weird or if it reminds her too much of someone else.  She also doesn't tire of the run around even if she is getting nothing, and forgot to wear a coat.  So it's pretty easy to spoil such a great kid.  Both Seb and I are guilty.  

One of my favorite things is watching this kid play soccer.  Already she is way better than I could ever be!  Her team was undefeated this season!!  We had to back off on the goal bribe.  She gets a donut for a goal not $5, the original bribe.  We almost had to go down to donut holes but thankfully S shares.  

So embarrassed to be on the saddle at Texas Roadhouse.  Dang it!  Is 8 already to old for that kind of fun?  Apparently for this girl it is.  She is dying to get the song over with and get off that thing!
