being a girl

I've determined that you can't ever figure out your kids completely, but it is sure fun to try.
When I think of you, I think about how you can be...

• serious but very silly.
• grumpy but really sweet.
• quiet but really expressive.
• stubborn but very gentle.

You are not my smile-on-demand-kid. You are my struggle-to-fight-the-grumps-kid. But whenever we pray for you or think about you, your Dad and I always remember how sweet you are. How can you be two extremes all at one time?  All I can say is...you must be a girl.
