Birthday Girl

 Our sweet girl turned eleven years old the other day. She's growing into a very caring and responsible young lady and we are very proud of her. I feel like she's growing faster than usual and seems to be changing by the day. Every time she stands next to the wall with little marks for her height, there is more height to mark. She's taller than her brother now (by a few inches) and likes to point it out at every available moment. I figure at this point she'll be taller than me when she's grown (and I'm 5'9"). She really likes being the tallest person in her grade.

She's very much into art (painting is her thing). She paints on pretty much anything she can find. For her birthday she wanted fabric paints and a jean jacket so she could paint on it. She loves collecting Hydroflasks and will spend an hour putting just the right stickers on them. 

 She's very much into her hair right now. It's a recent thing actually. During the state lock down she started watching YouTube videos on curly hair and learned how to brush it and put product in it. Then she wanted to cut it and shave the side of her head so when everything opened back up we went and had her hair cut/shaved. The cut allowed her curls to bounce up and created volume. Then came the requests for dying her hair. I said maybe temporary dyes. So she bought some vegan temporary dye that was highly rated on Amazon and dyed a chunk of her hair (that's all I will allow while school is in session). It's been pretty much all hair non stop for the past several months. 

Happy Birthday Greta! 

 





She has wanted a weighted blanket for about a year now, she finally got one.


She loves String Worms and wanted them on her cupcakes.


She loves lights so she got quite a few to decorate her room.

Her room looks like a theater now.
