Dana Beatrice

What's in a name?

DANA - bright as day
BEATRICE - bringer of joy

My first born, Dana Beatrice... well, there are so many things I can say about her that I honestly don't know how to start. But I guess her name just about sums it up.

What I love about her:

1. She looks like her dad but she is like me in soooo many ways. If you knew me as a child, you'd remember how I was if you talk to her.
2. She can irritate you to bits with her so many questions, but her punchlines are to watch for.
3. She's very confident and does not get embarassed easily. When she does something wrong, she says sorry and bounces right back.
4. She's a cool kid! I'm practically shouting at her because she refuses to do as she's told, but she replies with a very cool, "that's ok mommy".
5. At four years old, she found passion in dancing. She's in her 2nd year of ballet and so far, she's really doing well.
6. She's not the best student in her class (yet), but she loves learning new things. That, for me is more important.
7. She adores my parents.
8. She's a good big sister.
9. She has great taste in shoes and clothes.
10. She's unbelievably pretty, but she knows how to handle it. :-)
