Amelia is getting older and with that comes lower self-esteem (not gone yet though!). The other night I asked her to sing a song for my high school girls. Normally she would belt it out, well she was shy and self-conscious and would not sing it. Then we (Amelia, the high school girls and I) went swimming. Even in front of just girls my students did not want to get into their bathing suits and swim. I had to do a canon ball and act goofy and basically tell them they had to get into the pool, they finally joined me.
Being a girl is hard, finding yourself is hard. I just hope Amelia and Emery can figure out who they are and that God made them in a beautiful and unique way before the world damages them too much. I pray that they both have a healthy amount of confidence in who God made them to be. I know Ian and I are always looking for ways to show them that.

oh no, already?? That seems too early for that :(. Amelia already strikes me as the kind of girl who will grow up to have a strong confidence in who God made them. She has a lot of good role models in her life too.
Yikes, poor Emery with her two top teeth. I remember those being hard ones to come in. Good for her on figuring out how to roll across the tile ::).
