Today, four years ago, I gave birth to one of the most wonderful little girls I know! George entered our lives and we have never been the same since...
This is a little girl who is such a wonderful mixture of things. I know that we have just scratched the surface of the person that she is going to be.
She is one of the most caring, considerate little girls I know. She loves to nurture her younger sisters.
One thing about her, you always know if you are on her good side or whether you should watch out! She lets you know what she is thinking, she is not shy about letting you know what is going on in that head of hers!
She has always been the most inquisitive thing. She loves to solve things or figure out how they work. Many times when she was as young as 15 months, I would find her sitting by herself with a pair of lace-up shoes, taking the strings out and re-stringing them! I was remembering the other day how she insisted the sun and moon were balls! She was about two. She would see the moon or sun and say "Ball! Ball!". Which would irk big sis, Mac, cause she had to have everything correct!
George is also somewhat of a perfectionist. One thing she still has a hard time with is doing something the second that she is told to. It's not that she doesn't want to obey, but that if she is in the middle of doing something, she can't just leave it partially un-done. She HAS to finish it, or it drives her crazy!
My dad says that he thinks he was a lot like Jordyn. He had a hard time sitting still and always had plenty of energy to let out. That sums up my daughter! I remember that at one of her first appointments, the DR said that she had a heart murmur. Which was something they failed to mention in the hospital. Anyway, as she got older, I expressed concern over this to the doctor and she told me that she was not worried about her as most babies that are having a hard time with their heart murmur are listless and have little energy. That was NOT our girl! She learned to crawl at 4 1/2 months. She couldn't even sit, but she could crawl and all over! We knew that our hands were going to be full with this one! BTW, the heart murmur is gone, praise the Lord!
All in all, the past four years with George have been such a blessing and I am thankful to have such a neat little girl. I think that she will always amaze me with her thoughts and actions. I anticipate the upcoming years with joy! Lord willing, we will see some neat things come from her.
