8 Is Great

Kali will celebrate her 8th birthday this Saturday.

My Kali, is full of not only life...but herself. She has more confidence than most 7 year olds I suspect. Her personality is magnetic. If you don't know her...you want to. She is the kid, that on the first day of school, the kids want to make sure they become friends with.

Kali is smart, and sassy...which sometimes can be challenging for both of us. She loves schoolwork, and being popular, and she really does think that being pretty can take you places in the world!!! We're still working on that one....

Kali has been dancing for 3 years now, and was invited to join the Youth Dance Company at her studio...she would have been the youngest on the team...but she declined...too much commitment she said, and for her to recognize that...made me proud...because I know that she would not have liked spending 6.75 hours a week at dance. Last year it was ballet and jazz, this year she decided to only do hip-hop...which if you knew her, you would know, that this is probably a perfect fit for her.

9-29-99...almost 8 years since she came into our life, and of course changed it.

Kali

Sweet and Sassy all in one

Full of life and loves to have fun

She is the very best middle child

Even though she is crazy and wild

Life without Kali

Where would we be?

For sure I know, that I would not be me.

So, here's to you Kali

My sweet baby girl

As you turn the big 8

In this big wondrous world

Follow your dreams,

Continue making us smile

We are so proud of you

Our best middle child!

Happy Birthday Kali

Love,

Mommy
