Nice to see this thread for the first time in a while.
My daughter will be 8 in January, and when I picked her up at school today she was raving about a neighborhood friend getting her ears pierced. And asking if I could take her to Target right away because she knows the name of the place where they pierce ears. She asked so many times! :D
My wife showed me something she made at school... she made her own iPhone. It cracked me up. These little things are so special to me, just these pieces of evidence of her personality, skills, thoughts, imagination. I have a box where I keep so many of these things so I never lose them.
Also, we go indoor climbing every now and then and my daughter is an absolute natural. No fear, and I've got her climbing actual routes now instead of using whatever features she needs. Never gets discouraged, wants to figure the problem out - she'd climb till she passed out. To anyone else who climbs (because I have no gauge of this beyond her) is that good / impressive / skilled that a 7 year old can do it so well? She LOVES bouldering. We've been watching all sorts of videos and documentaries and the other day she said she wanted to go as a particular Slovenian climber for Halloween next year! :D
Here's my son, he's 5 and doesn't quite have the skills or the bravery for it yet.
