Kid 4: Alida

 Alida my dear.
Christmas dress and Doritto covered fingers taking in the scene.


 When you got hung up on whether you would take this leap or not, Ben showed you the way.
But when you jumped girl, that was all you. 
It took my breath away--partially fear for you and partially awe.


 And then you skipped off like it was nothing.



You are fierce and fearless.  And yet, you are the most at peace child I have.  At home in the company of others or not, you seem to self-balance your chaotic life.  This will serve you well to be able to blend in when you need to and stand out when desired. 
I cannot wait to watch it all unfold.
