Bummer!

Larkin's new favorite word lately is "BUMMER!" She says it when things don't go her way, or when someone else seems frustrated, or when she or a friend gets hurt.

Larkin is also going through a bossy phase. Just the other day she was bossing her aunts and mom around telling us to put on our skirts and shoes so we could all go to church. Never mind that we didn't need to go to church for several hours. Larkin wanted to go to church, and she set about making sure we were all ready to go. I admire how strong and focused Larkin can be. She knows what she wants, and is seldom swayed from her goal. She is turning out to be a great little communicator, and a master negotiator!
