Deveraux....these days...

our girl
*She likes to play teacher
*dance to Kids Bop on her Ipad
*watch Popular Mechanics videos (learn about different things from animals, to fire fighters, and how things work)
*read
*have personal space when she needs it
*loves pizza, popcorn, soda, lasagna, bagels, berries
*Help with parties and gatherings
Today Deveraux said, "boys are lucky...the President is a boy and God is a boy."
 
We were going through Deveraux's closet and she had a pile that she was not going to keep. 
She said, "I have had a good life with them."
well said!
Deveraux is my cheerleader.
She told me she thinks I am such a good cook.  Which is funny to me,
it is not an area that comes easy or my "go to" for enjoyment.
The other day I was working on a project (which is a "go to" for enjoyment")
 she showed Bobo.  "Look what mama did!"  She is always
complementing my work, "wow, that is so good."
We all need cheerleaders in our corner!
  Thank you sweet girl.
Deveraux has been doing great with school.  She had her first day a couple of weeks ago when she did not want to go.  She said she was missing me and just wanted to be home.  Drew and I let her stay home.  Andrew wanted her to write out sentences about why she wanted to stay home. :)  She did her school packet and we worked a little on piano and then we spend several hours at Young's house in the afternoon learning and creating.  It was good for me to allow her to trust herself and know it is okay to take a day off when needed.  She was ready for school the next day.
The other evening when we came home, it was dusk and had been raining.
Deveraux said, "It is so pretty outside."  Wow, one of my greatest desires
is for my kiddos to see, notice, and be stopped to enjoy beauty.
 
Deveraux, you are beautiful!
