I know it's against the Parenting Commandments to label your children, but sometimes it's just too hard not to. Savanna is our little sweetie; she has always been one to put others' needs before her own, to sympathize with those who are struggling, and to make absolutely everyone feel like they are her very favorite person in the world (even though really only I am). Yes, she is our Sweet Savanna.
She's been waking up feeling cranky lately because she's so tired in the mornings and I realized that I have been getting so frustrated with her because it's so outside of her nature. I hugged her this morning and told her that she's always so sunny that when she doesn't wake up happy, it's like the sun didn't come up and it's dark for the rest of us. I wouldn't trade her tight squeezes and contagious smiles for anything.
Since everyone in this family that's not Spencer seems to be lacking in screen time, I thought I'd include some of Vanna's recent hits.
Aunt Amy & Aunt Laura got the girls snowboards for Christmas and are so
excited for the girls to try them out. Doesn't she already look like a pro?
We have a rule at dinner that's nearly impossible for the girls
to follow consistently: Don't start eating your dinner until we've
said the blessing on the food. Here Savanna is mustering all of the
self-control possible to keep her hand from diving down and grabbing a bite.
In this case, the left hand knows exactly what the right hand is doing...
Almost didn't see her sitting on that stone elephant with those gray pants on...
A rare moment alone with just her.
Who loves Savanna?
We do, we do!
I do! She really is such a sweetheart!
