This is kind of a big deal! The mark of a very big year for her. Before she hits her next birthday, she will have joined Young Women's AND finished up elementary school!
She's seemed to me, still, like such a little kid that the above concepts have felt ridiculous. Only, she bore her testimony on Sunday, and both Mike and I admitted afterwards that she did almost seem to be a young woman up there. (A very tiny young woman, mind you.)
I'm not sure what to think about it all. I sort of felt these last four "little kids" would stay the little kids, well, forever! I really think I did. And when we moved up here two measly years ago, she was still such a little kid (she and Mette spent all the first weeks up here playing with their Calico Critters). I am not ready to start moving another crew out of childhood! (I sort of lump my kids into three groups: older, middle and younger. I've already moved two groups out of the little kid phase. Can we be beginning on the third group already?) Well. I take some solace in the fact that she still wanted some toy sorts of things for her birthday.

Summer! Might she be…my favorite? Yes. She might.
Good! They each ought to get to be SOMEONE’S favorite after all! (They are always pestering me about whether or not they are mine, and since I feel obligated to insist it’s all of them [though is it? 🧐😅], it warms my heart for them to be claimed a favorite by friends and family (which has happened more than you would guess!).
