My little girl in the middle...

Miss Kadence.  This little girl gets kind of a bad rap around our house sometimes.  She most definitely keeps me on my toes and I love her so much...but, she is so dramatic.  She truly can go from the sweetest little girl to the naughtiest little girl in no time at all.  I like to think that it really isn't her fault.  Is it her fault that she was the second born? Is it her fault that she is now stuck right in the middle?  Her big brother is the only boy and the oldest.  He happens to be a people pleaser and melts a lot of hearts.  That's not her fault.  Her little sister is not only the baby, but a child who has been busy as ever and demanded an abundance of attention since the day she was born.  That's not her fault either.

So, really it is our fault, not hers.  In my opinion, birth order plays an integral part in the way a person grows up and molds into their own person.  I can see that some of her behaviors that frustrate me the most are worse when one of her siblings is getting a lot of attention.  I have been trying to really give this little girl some more attention.  I don't want her to feel like "the middle child" and always  be trying to stand out.  I want her to just be Kadence.

She has the most beautiful blue eyes with perfectly accompanying blonde hair.  She is so smart and never forgets anything.  She loves all things girl.  She wants to wear a dress every day and dances around the house for hours.  She loves shoes but has the hardest time finding pretty shoes to fit her adorable, petite little feet.  She is equally afraid of loud train horns and thunder.  She can be such a good little sister and an even better big sister...when she wants to.  She knows the words to songs better than I do and absolutely loves cranking the music in the car and singing.  She is always so thoughtful in her night prayers and I always smile when I am listening to what she is praying about.  She is just perfect to me.

Although she can be a handful, I am not taking this one for granted.  I love her to pieces.  All of her.
