< start 9 year old daughter's voice >
I HATE HOMEWORK! Why does it even matter if I do my homework. My life is so horrible because I have to do my homework. Woe is me! How can it possibly make any difference in anything if I do it or not. *sob*
< end drama >
So there you have it. The above was a short summary of the events yesterday evening. She's only 9. I thought I had another 3 years or so until this silliness starts. I guess I'll have to bump up my schedule, eh? :)

The Nutcracker
Sara performed in The Nutcracker during the month of December. It was a lot of fun and a lot of hard work! She had the opportunity to perform for one of our local television stations, and I finally found a link to the video online. You'll first catch a glimpse of her at about the 1:40 mark (she's on the right), glimpses of her for the next minute, and then when you reach the 2:40 mark there will be a couple of close-ups!
The actual production was MUCH better than this video clip. But hey, you have to perform where they tell you to perform! There simply just wasn't enough room, the floor was slippery, and it was tile - so the grout made for a very uneven dance surface! Oh... and she was up at 5:00 AM to get ready for this performance. Yikes!
Enjoy!

Watching
Watch blue butterflies, fluttering by.
Watch black birds, who fly in the sky.
Watch red ladybugs landing on your nose.
Watch little baby, wiggling her toes.

Harry Potter Mania
The Princess is obsessed with Harry Potter. She's currently reading Book 3 - Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
People worry about whether or not these books are too "dark" for her. They could be, I suppose, but I wonder how much of that she actually processes. This may be a poor guideline to follow, but I figure that as long as she's not having nightmares it's OK. She really loved reading "Goosebump" books during the school year, but every once in a while she'd have bad dreams about them, so I'd make her stop for a few weeks.
Anyway, she loves the "magic" of Harry Potter. The Princess can be found running around the house in her invisibility cloak, and loves to pretend that she is Hermione Granger. She has a magic wand, and loves to cast spells. She also is keen to turn whoever is available into other characters of the story. The Dragon has been known to play the role of "Fluffy" and guard the Sorcerer's Stone, or, Hagrid's lovable dog, Fang. She refers to her school as Hogwarts, and loves to pretend that she's riding the "Hogwarts Express."
I love her imagination.

Things I Love About The Pink Princess
The Pink Princess is now 7 and has a strong desire to do what is right. She is eager to please, and wants to be a leader.
She is creative in her games as she has a vivid imagination. She loves writing letters to her friends, and drawing pictures for just about everyone we know.
The Princess is also stubborn - it is very hard to change her mind once she has made her decision. I hope that this will carry her far in life - in a good way.
She has a deep love of God and Jesus Christ. She finds comfort when she prays - I am glad she has learned this at a young age. Everyone should have a way that they can find some measure of peace in this crazy world.
She is still so young, but I can already see glimpses of the woman she is going to become. She is a beautiful little girl, and the love I feel for her is so overwhelming I feel as though my heart may burst at any moment.
