My 6 year old

Brooklyn is such a beautiful little girl. She is so polite and well mannered. I've notice a few little traits that she needs to work on still. For example; She want's to please everybody. She doesn't want to do wrong and when she does, she gets very upset and sad. I blame myself. We are two very emotional girls. And, I'm an OCD mom that strives for perfection. Not good.

At school, her teacher says that she likes to get her work done fast, and doesn't take time to talk to friends and enjoy the socializing because she's too worried about the assignment. I feel she has some great tendancies to be a leader some day. But, for now, I've notice she needs the approval of things and people. Again, I blame myself. When she was younger, I talked a lot for her, because people couldn't understand her, and by doing that, I think she looks at me for the thing to say. As much as this can drive me crazy, I realize that I need to take my time and work on that with her at a slow pace.

Brooklyn is my everything. She can make me feel better when I don't even know what's wrong. She loves to cuddle. She loves books. She can play independantly and has a wonderful imagination. She has many friends. She is a great big sister, and is so patient with Gavin. She is a health finatic! Believe it or not. She would rather eat "Healthy" food, not things that are "Bad for you," she says. She is a great beginner piano player and will be a beautiful, talented Pianist some day. Brooklyn is so funny too. She likes to let loose and be crazy silly to make others laugh. I love my sweet, little girl.
