My daughter is growing up!
My oldest daughter, known here as SugarBean, is growing up! She will be nine next month. I can hardly believe it!
In the past few months I have seen so many things click with her. The two that stand out the most: she has taken off with reading and is gaining confidence to try new things. She has always been extremely apprehensive, so this is saying a lot! She even “teaches” her own Bible class.
SuganBean is my intense child. Intense describes her very well. She really “feels” and “thinks” 🙂 Although she still has a number of obstacles to overcome, I can really see her personality showing itself.
Lately she has had a great time drawing pictures and helping make tutorials for this blog. She has always wanted to be a published illustrator/author. I can still remember her wanting to slip a homemade book onto the library shelf so others could borrow it!
Watching her grow up is bittersweet. I love to have her home with me, but I know she won't be under my roof forever. Spending time with my a daughter is definitely one of the finer things in life!

It’s interesting how I found this blog. My daughter, almost nine, just hit a maturity growth spurt. I was looking online for resources on what I can do as a mom to be on track with her, and found your blog. What’s really interesting… her nickname is Bean.
Fun! Thanks for letting me know 🙂 I love her nickname!
So glad you found my blog.
Blessings to you as you raise your daughter.
