Aubrey was born nine years ago today.
Nine short years.
Aubrey was an angel baby. She NEVER cried. Like, never. She slept through the night on her second day of life. And every day after. She was the easiest, go-with-the-flow kid of all time.
And she still is.
And here are the Nine Greatest Things about Aubrey.
#1: She is Hyper. When she gets in a certain mood, she is unstoppably, out-of-control, weak in the knees HYPER. The term "bouncing off the walls" was invented about her, I'm fairly certain.
#2: She is Competitive. Not in a slit-your-throat kind of way, but in an always-tries-her-best way. She works harder than any nine year old kid I know to be her very best (and it pays off).
#3: She is Helpful. She's learned so many skills and is always willing to help out around the house. Some days she just follows me around and offers to do all my chores. Those days are my favorite days.
#4: She is Generous. A few days ago we lost our mail key and it was $56 to get it replaced. She insisted on paying for it. I obviously wouldn't hear of it, but what nine year old offers to pay for something like that? Not sure if she needs money-management classes, or if she is really just the most giving kid ever.
#5: She is Mature. A few weeks ago we were having some prayer time issues with Cameron and he was consistently getting in trouble during prayer. (insert eye roll emoji here.) I found out later that she had created a calendar and had worked out a secret system with him where she rewarded him for good prayers and made him loose his reward for bad ones. If I die soon, I'm pretty sure she'd do a better job than me at raising my own children.
#6: She is Fun. I love taking Aubrey places with me cause she is fun. Fun to talk to. Fun to listen to. Fun to be with.
#7: She is Bright. She has such an intellectual mind and is always thinking and saying the most inspired things. She could be a philosopher someday.
#8: She is Spunky. SP. UNK. EEEEEY.
#9: She is our little Aubrey and we totally adore her.
