Lucky #6

It was her number in hockey and now baseball. And now it's her age. My baby. Is six years old.

And she's certainly not a baby any more. She made that clear last night, getting a solid base hit. (And based on the photo, she apparently did it with her eyes closed.)


Later that evening, she performed a bit of a water ballet in the front yard. Again with eyes closed at point of impact.


And now that I look back at other memorable photos from recent days, including when AJ tried showing her and Grandma Elouise the frogs he'd been catching... well, the pattern continues.


She may close her eyes at key times, but she sure doesn't miss a thing. And she's definitely opened my eyes. Being with Sydney, it's impossible not to notice the simple joys of life, the beauty that's all around us, and the power of a sincere smile and compliment. Because Sydney notices and points these things out. And as competitive as she is, especially with her brother, she's always the first to remind, "the most important thing is to have fun!"

She is happy and confident and fun. And now she is six. How blessed I am that she's my daughter.
