Hooray for the sunshine - finally! When I picked Maren up from a friend's house this afternoon, it was necessary to swaddle her in a garbage bag as she was covered in mud and dirt. Yes, she does have cute little freckles but she "supplemented" them with a bit of filth.
One less tooth - I would post the video of Sten flapping his tooth fairy wings to deliver the $$, but don't want to spoil the whole tooth fairy gig . . . Yesterday, a school employee informed me that Maren is a friend to everyone. She has a knack for sensing that someone needs special attention and she takes time to comfort or make them feel special - regardless of who it is. That makes a mother swoon.
Maren certainly does have an innate sense of people. My Dad says that she will, no doubt, be a salesperson of some sort. Although she has been the most errr . . . uhhh . . . challenging child - our lives would be dull without her. She has a zest for life and an innocent and open way of expression. She is unhibited and doesn't seem to understand that just because it pops into your brain, you might consider if it needs to be uttered. She is refreshing and kind, stubborn and loving. She can't find anything when asked to look, her room is a disaster, and she can be a bit scatter-brained. But we're thrilled that this goofy kid landed in our family - if you need a good laugh we'll loan her out for a few days tho . . . Love you Mare Mare!
