Miss Smarty Pants

Look who figured out how to use the mouse! Laine is so happy that she can finally do little games on the computer by herself. She still needs help navigating but she is figuring things out quickly. Her favorite website so far is My Little Pony.
When I was pregnant with Laine I really worried about mothering a little girl. Pregnancy hormones can make you so crazy (you don't want to be around me right now). One of the things I worried about, well not worried but thought about more than I should have, was that there was no way Laine could have the same beautiful hair like Cannon and that didn't seem fair to me. Cannon's hair is thick and wavy and blond, shouldn't that belong to the girl in the family? But somehow she came along with really pretty hair. It isn't like Cannon's exactly but it is really pretty and I marvel at that because I know that my worry didn't cause it to come out pretty, it just did. I thought she would have my hair which is nice enough but not remarkable in any way. And if anyone seems destined to run in this family it is her. We were at the track a few days ago and the boys had their bikes. Laine wanted to race around too so she took off running and ran the entire 1/4 mile around, more than once but not in a row. And she looked so happy while she was doing it. I remember a coach saying that if you want to improve your running you should try to copy how children run because they are so natural. She does look like a natural.
