Happy Birthday, Little Jogger!

Today is the first Little Jogger's birthday. It's hard to believe that it has been 11 years already. Seems like just yesterday she was a squirming little ball of nothing.

She has grown up to be a pretty good kid. She's basically a happy kid. She's more serious and thoughtful than any of the other three, I think. She can also be a perfectionist. Last night she had a little melt-down because she had to write a diary entry for a colonial era shopkeeper for her Social Studies class, and she couldn't find out what the shopkeeper would have called the police force. I'm sure half her class had their characters wearing Reeboks and playing Nintendo, but she wanted historical accuracy.

She's by far the most sensible of the kids. None of the other three keeps money very long. She's got $46 put aside, for something really special.

I'm pretty glad that I have her....at least most of the time.
