The Little Princess

Having a little girl is a new experience for us. When Tessa was born, people would ask if we thought there was a difference between the boys and our new little girl. Then, when all she needed was unlimited access to Mama, there really wasn't - she just seemed like a baby; a demanding one, at that, but a pretty typical baby. As she's growing up, however, the differences become clearer.


She's a bit of a drama queen. She loves to dress up - she has a few pairs of dress up princess shoes that she'll put on just to wear them. She plays with her baby dolls. She actually likes getting her hair cut - probably because she's used to sitting on the counter every morning while she gets it fixed. She'll spend time coloring and playing with stickers and playing with play dough; the boys wouldn't even touch crayons or do anything similar at this age. Some of this is personality, I'm sure, but it does seem to us that girls are different than boys in many ways.

Of course there are lots of ways that she is similar to her brothers. They all pick on each other and love each other and annoy each other, as siblings do. But it's been fun having our little princess around the house, that's for sure.

oh, she is a darling! She has grown up so much. She sounds so much like Sophie in her likes/personality, I wish they could meet! (and their mommies too)
