There are a lot of very sweet and generous sides to Franny.  She definitely enjoys giving gifts and cards and drawing pictures for loved ones.  She has been making thank you cards for her Christmas gifts for a few weeks now.  The process is slow only because of she has so few opportunities to work on them on any given day. She'll also work on them and forget she did them, until I find them while cleaning her room.  But, the thought is still there and they will go out soon—and, she is already starting to plan on her valentines!  Next weekend we are visiting friends who also have a little girl Franny’s age.  When Franny learned that we had missed her birthday, she insisted on making her a card, selecting the perfect gift and gift wrap, and wrapping it herself.  The whole process has taken her several weeks, but she has been very persistent about it all and her interest has never wavered—each step of the process has been completely initiated by her.  Franny was so pleased when it was all complete; now, she can’t wait to give it to her friend.  Now, I can’t wait, too!
