That's not always a bad thing, right?!?

Free spirited, independent, strong willed, stubborn.  All of these are words that I have used to describe Little V.  Yes, she is only 4 (well, almost 5) but they all suit her so well.  There are those wonderful days when I look at her with a big grin on my face and say, "she is such a free spirit, so independent!"  Then there are the days when she just knows what she wants and I think, "she sure is strong willed."  Then there are the days, like today, with my teeth gritted and silently counting to ten I say, "gosh, she is just so STUBBORN!" 

I love that she knows what she wants, the problem is that she is, just like me, stubborn to a fault.  That's not always a bad thing, right?!?

I guess the one I should really feel bad for is Big V...




And, because I love to share my creations, here are the gifts my little, stubborn Valentine recieved...

A twirly skirt,

(Thank goodness her shirt covers the waistband, I am still getting the hang of this sewing thing!)

a matching hair do-da,

and a little mermaid.  Little V gave her a face!

(this is from a great book, Wee Wonderfuls)
