Anna Cate at 7

So, it's official, my baby girl is actually a seven-year-old. Sometimes I wonder who this little person is that inhabits my home (and almost every waking moment). She is somewhere between the baby she once was and the teenager she will soon become. But, here is a snapshot of who she is today...


Dream Career: a vet and the owner of a store named "Tix". The vet office will actually be inside the store which will carry everything from pet supplies to homemade art and flip-flops.



Special Talents: the ability to completely fold her tongue until the front half is flat against the back half and to wrap her feet behind the back of her head. I have seen her eat a sandwich, watch television and talk on the phone in this position.




Parenting Advice: "I think if you want to kids to help around the house, you should promise to give them something like money or a toy...if you bribe them to work, it will be as easy as getting a pig to eat ice cream".



On Friendship: "Everyone is my friend unless they do something mean to me. Then they have to work to get me to forgive them".


Where She Wants to Travel: China

Things She Is: creative, artistic, competitive, a leader, logical, argumentative, funny

Things She Is Not: easy-going, afraid to speak her mind, open to change, easily persuaded


*side note: We went to the doctor today for her well check and she has grown 10 inches taller since we moved to Arizona!
