To say she’s growing up quickly is an understatement. Kids nowadays seem to age and mature right before our very eyes. And I’m pretty sure mothers all over the world would agree.
Francine, my vivacious, precocious Francine, has been blessed with boundless energy and an indomitable will. She’s lithe and fit and obviously has an overabundance of confidence in her monkey skills athletic prowess, as is evidenced by the above photo. And while that usually translates to clashes between us, I don’t want her any other way but her own unique self. That, and I have hope that those same traits would serve her well as she grows older. 😉
