So, this kid has ten circles around the sun under her belt.   She is funny, clever, good at math and had a big heart.   She is teaching herself to write in Japanese and has been enjoying Japanese anime.

She has quite a few friends but during Covid has connected with one gal in particular.  They had a rare in-person play session this weekend and it was really wonderful to hear them running and giggling as they did whatever 10 year old girls do - create TickTocks of them dancing to songs I wouldn't think they knew.

She's learning the value of money, she has a savings account, but today when she and her friends learned that they could dress like their favorite book character this Friday at (remote) school, she was very happy to pay for a costume that is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow.  (Thank you Amazon.)

Lucy doesn't like to go shopping and especially hates an outing to Costco, but today is eager to go with her dad.  I think the draw of being able to select her own birthday cake is too much to resist.

I'm extremely proud of how she's handled this covid-lockdown and going to school remotely.  I know she'd rather do it in person, but she's been focused and engaged.  

I'm happy to be her mom.  💓💓
