December 2021 Story 19: Kirra 10 Things

Ten things about Kirra Isla right now:

1. You are so focused on school. School is the highlight of your life right now and being told that you were moving on to Grade One brought you satisfaction. You feel, and very much are an accomplished Preppy.
2. You are super shy, you are hyper aware of people, and want to interact but appreciate your own space more. It’ something you are very protective of and your individual achievements light you up.
3. You are so independent and love to make fruit platters for yourself. You love making food for people and like to present it as a gift. You’re not always going to eat, but that’s not necessarily the highlight of the experience for you.
4. You write so many notes, there is noting you can’t spell phonetically. I have no trouble in reading your notes that there is no word out there that intimidates you.
5. You are stubborn. At crazy levels. This also means that your determination is one of your super-powers. It makes you a high achiever. But also crazy to live with. You are getting better, so it’s a phase or a season, but the signs are there that you will be a very driven human and that is pretty awesome.
6. You love dress-up and make up and clothes, and love the way they feel and move with you. Dresses that sparkle and have layers that dance as you move are your favorites. Basketball training is lit up by the colour that you bring. Uniforms for school are not a favourite. In your downtime there are many costume and outfit changes, every 90mins or so.
7. You struggle when having a voice with Google. You're focused on being able to have more control of your environment and technology. Keep going little one.
8. You love nature, and make sure you get outside. You are a brown little berry and are so sunkissed. Even with layers of clothes (which you prefer not to have) and lots of sunscreen. You run around like a little sprite in this house. Our little Mighty One.
9. My gosh you don’t want to sleep, but can do so within 5 seconds of being quiet and not moving. You would read books until the sun came up but have to constantly wriggle to stay awake. You have a delirious laugh that is both beautifully awesome and scary because I know it’s going to be a tricky thing to convince you to go to sleep.
10. You are a super kind human being. You can see when people really need your calm and compassion. It’s amazing but the words you come out with to comfort people, especially your sister is incredible. You are wise and kind beyond your years.

We love you Kirra.
