You can be so so sweet, but so so stubborn as well. Typically you are pretty quiet. You love to snuggle on the couch and watch movies all day long. You seem to excel with technology & have a natural affinity toward it. You also are drawn to puzzles, as well as numbers & letters. You are already learning to recognize words you are familiar with, and the names of your classmates as well. You have an excellent memory and a mind for details. I can almost always rely on you to remember someone's name if you've ever heard it. You must get this knack from your daddy, because it is a skill that I have never mastered.
You can master anything you put your mind to. To illustrate my point, while you still struggle with getting your shirt on (although you are hindered by your rather large head), your pants on right side out & with the tag in back, and your shoes on the right feet, you taught yourself to work the dvd player and the remote control because you were tired of waiting for me to change the movies for you.
Quite unlike June, you just don't particularly care about your clothes or your appearance, so you don't waste any thought on them.
You will play along with your sisters in their princess and home-making games, but you are also quite happy playing by yourself. One of your favorite games is playing mommy & baby. But you also really enjoy doing your own thing, even if that means breaking the rules or ignoring your chores. You and I often butt heads on this last issue. While June & Cora are more pliable, your are quite firm in your resolve once you mind is made up. Similarly to me. I have a feeling that this will lead to some epic fights down the road. I am certain that you already love to not only test your limits, but to see how far you can push me before you get into trouble.
Daddy has nicknamed you "Roxy Dangerous" because you aren't the most coordinated of kiddos, but will willingly be the first to make the leap and try something new (unless it involves flipping upside down - then you will usually pass - although you have even been challenging yourself on that fear recently).
You claim to love purple, and will choose it when asked, but I often wonder if you really care. This idea of having a favorite color was thrust on you last year when June started school, and she then informed you that your favorite was purple. You don't always gravitate toward purple when choosing dishes or clothing, which makes me wonder if you don't actually care all that much.
One "purple" that you DO adore is baby Violet. From the very start you have shown the most interest in her, taking care of her, and her general happiness & well-being. While June is a much more reliable go-for & entertainer, you are always wondering were she is & how she is doing. You love trying to make her smile, even when asked to leave her alone because she is nursing, or tired. Subtly isn't your strong suit, but you make up for it in spades with exuberance.
For several years now we have called you our little engineer. I truly do wonder if your life will lead you toward the maths & sciences. It will be a joy watching you blossom with your amazing gifts, your huge heart, and your stubborn will.
Love you now & forever sweetheart.
Love,
Your Mommy
