Nine

This little girl is 9!

Digging through the archives, I found this goodie from 2007. 

 The year Sydney took dance class. 

At the time I thought she was so old...and I laugh now, because she was Stella's age :)

As it turns out, 9 is the designated age when our children recieve a ds.  Apparantly it's law, b/c that's when Austin got one :)

At 9, Sydney is a huge helper. She is sensitive, confident, and a friend to all.

She delights in mothering her 2 little sisters, sewing, dancing, baking, crafting, and builidng stuff with Dylan.

Her laid back personality is a perfect mix of  what I would call a fancy tomboy.  She wears dresses while catching frogs :)

While she still hates/struggles with math, she loves to read and has a pretty good head on her shoulders :) 

For fun, I thought I'd interview Sydney like I did the others...
