Mara – 6 years old

We've now made it six years as parents, and our little girl is quickly growing up right in front of us. :)

Mara is our little tomboy princess. Some days, she want to play with cars and trains, and other days she wants to do the princess thing. She like getting down in the dirt and planting her dandelion seeds.

We went through a phase this past year where she had bangs, but both of us agree that she didn't look like herself. So, we are now in the process of growing out those bangs.

Mara and I butt heads sometimes, but that's mainly because we are so much alike. I usually know why she does things before she even knows herself. She's a rule follower, especially when it applies to someone else, but she sometimes has a hard time remembering what she's supposed to do at school. She knows that her bedtime is at 8:30, but she doesn't always think that time is convenient.

Even now at only 6, she sometimes wishes for things to be how they used to be. Playhouse Disney recently changed to Disney Junior, and she pines for the days of Playhouse Disney and the monkeys Ooh and Aah.

Mara loves all animals and is constantly asking us if we can add another pet to our family. She still wants to be a whale trainer when she grows up, and I don't know if she'll ever change her mind since that's what she has been saying when we went to SeaWorld for the first time in October 2007.
