Growing up before my eyes..

Our girl will start 1st grade in a few weeks. She has officially left every bit of "baby-ness" in the dust. She has always been an old soul. She was a miserable baby, I knew from the second week of her life that she hated being a baby. She is a very serious kid, she's a realist. I am pretty sure she is the only 7 year old girl that has never seen any Disney movie, not for lack of me trying but she has ZERO interest. I have caught her watching the occasional Jetson's or classics of the sort, but it is rare. I walked in the house the other day and she was full on engrossed in Shark week, you couldn't tear her away. I just let her be. She doesn't do much dress up, has never been into pretend play, but she will dress up with Mina. We don't call her Mama-2 for nothing. She could surely take over all house hold duties if we let her. I bribed her to let me take these photos by promising that she could help me fold laundry. I know, I have no idea where children like this come from. And then something happened, something we see very rarely around here. When we see it I LOVE it, I let her stay up 2 hours past her bedtime the other night,,, why, because she was acting goofy, girl is never goofy. I can't believe I caught it on film. If you have ever met Kobi, I doubt you have ever seen this face. Serious is her M.O. Look at all those teeth coming in... hysterical.
