Personality

I'm sure I've mentioned the incredible amount of personality exhibited by each of my children at a young age, amazed as I am at their exuberance, their tenacity & their inquisitive nature. Hazel has been no exception.

Hazel spends most days climbing onto her sister's bed as much as possible. The top bunk holds much appeal. Not only is it so high above the floor, thereby tempting gravity & neck injury at the slightest misstep, it contains her sister's treasured belongings: stuffed animals galore, jewelry, a music player, books & miscellaneous decorations. I am greeted with ear-splitting giggles, baby teeth grinning & eyes alight with unadulterated joy at her accomplishment of pulling her tiny body up the end of the bed frame, crawling to Abby's pillow so she can pull the blanket over her legs & then examine her new book in comfort.
