One of Four. All By Herself.

This is my Eden who has been in my life for a decade.  Plus seven months.

This is my Eden whose independence screams out to be noticed.  She does not want any help.  From anyone.  Except when she does.



What a stage this is, a big girl trying to prove she can all mixed up with a little girl who still needs a hand to hold.  They wrestle within her and sometimes frustration erupts.

I am learning to sit back and watch, unless I am summoned.




On this particular day, my Eden secretly added cinnamon to the fridge cookies.



 My help was not requested, and the cookies were delicious.

I can't believe she's 10! I am also really in awe that this happens. And grateful to see a girl growing up and figuring out what to possibly expect from my own girl. Why does time have to go so quickly?

With her glasses I think she looks like "Winny" from the Wonder Years. She is beautiful!
